yeah i am relying on a lot of wishing and hoping. but lebron has publicly stated that he wants to be the richest and most famous athlete in the world. he's going to be in his absolute prime and i think he might be looking to get to the media capital of the world.
If his team competes for another title within the next two years you honestly see him wanting to leave that team to come to a team that hasn't won 50 games in over 10 years?
Shaq sure liked the challenge of doing so.
If If If... If Bosh goes to Cleveland to join LeBron so what?
The point of this whole situation is to tear down Isiah's mess so we can start over. A necessary path that had been ignored for a decade. Even if there wasn't a single FA to be had in 2010 we HAD to go down this road. Absolutely HAD TO!
What that will bring we don't know but you don't speculate that you might not land a major FA in 2 years and say "Oh well, let's keep Zach and Crawful then and try to add MLE talent to it each year!"
No, that failed numerous times, that's done, and thank god!
The point is while we've sought to tear down the roster we also threw our hat into the 2010 ring of FAs. I can't see how this is a bad thing no matter anyone's feeling on Wade, LeBron, and Bosh and their potential future decisions.
What's the harm? Might start building a winning team beginning in July 2010 on a few draft picks, a couple of young kids, and a solid FA or two or even three? MY GOD THE HORROR! MAKE IT STOP!!!!
I guess, judging by a number of posts the past day, we should have just kept on letting Isiah guide the ship then. These 23-33 win season are so much fun! The anticipation of the next grossly overpaid MLE free agent joining us sent expectations through the roof! Trading expiring deal after expiring deal and draft picks to land another team's grossly overpaid chemistry killing malcontent were dreams that came true each and every time cause the great Isiah was going to turn their careers around just like he did for JONeal!
BAH!!!!!!!!!Walsh is doing the right thing and the whining some are throwing in here about losing this season (LOL as if we were going to win anything) and crying about how nobody will come here in 2010 (LOL as if you know that for certain) won't change that fact.
It amazes me really: The entire NBA from coaches to execs to players to journalists to fans of other teams and more than half the entire Knick fan base can see what Walsh is trying to do and are all applauding him over it.
Then you got less than half the Knick fan base pining for Isiah, Zach, and Crawful to come back to lead us to 23-33 win seasons because "No free agent is coming here!"
LOL!!!!!!!! What do you couple of fans know that millions of other NBA fans and franchise personnel don't know? LOL!
