I read one report that Lee would have been headed to PHX for Amare if Lebron signed.

I'm dying to peer into this forum 2 years from now, when we're all possibly typing in threads entitled "LBJ - the NBA's highest priced cancer?" & "Big Flee Flop"

LJB and Amare, would have made the eastern conference much more entertaining, with boston, miami, ny, orlando all lagit title contenders.

All these critics kept saying Nj, Chicago had better talent...REALLY..rose is no different from wade, which is why he didn't go there..

The bandwaggon is loading up Uk fam... if we keep winning, and guys keep developing and fitting into there roles nicely, the cards will be in our favor.

Remember James Posey snug fit in boston, and his disaster season after bouncing for the $.

I think that you just implied that if they remove perhaps the best player in the NBA from the team, they would be better. Like it.

what, the bulls wouldn't be a good match now? because of what everyone knew? DRose is a ball dominant guard and it makes no sense for Lebron to play with another ball dominant guard like Wade or DRose?

NY actually made sense for Lebron for many reasons. No one, NO ONE, on ESPN (other than maybe Sports Guy) ever suggested he should come to NY. Ever.

Yeah, I think that points to the big problem with Miami right now - other than total lack of depth after the big three - Wade's ego.

Wade needs to let Lebron run the offense through him. It's the only way it'll work. Wade needs to swallow some pride here. He wanted these guys on his team, it's on him to make it work.

Wade and bron never ever played off the ball, now smack dead in the middle of there prime, your asking them to change the way they have been playing there whole life....right

That's what friends are for.

If Chris Broussard is saying the one place Lebron should have gone to be a title contender is New York... where do you think Carmelo Anthony is thinking about going - given he plays the same position as Lebron?

.............good point, but not in a value to value trade. He either comes via free agency or Denver relents to get some value and we give them some save face value.

Im not saying im in favor of one vs another, but its fun to think of melo on this team, not one that does not 2-3 core role players.

I'd like to think Melo buys into the system even if he loses stats. everyone gets easy shots when it opens up.

I'd like to think Melo can make Gallo better. Or Wilson better. Or Fields better and of course AMare better.

Im a fan. I know Melo is better than anyone besides Amare, but bringing in Talent in exchange for talent is not always a plus situation. Be better if he came aboard a team with a chemeistry. Felton and Amare are the Alpha dogs and Melo would have to earn his stripes. Its healthier than Starphuching which annoints the players status before he has earned it.

If no Melo we got lots of options to both improve internally and cap to bring in. ALso we have assets to sign and trade with.

In Donnie we trust.

melo's two top advisors, he's listening to both right now, they saying new york new york.
