NYC (with bosh) makes the most sense. The perfect team cam be built around him, piece by piece. Our current pieces fit perfectly too. Douglas is a great shooter and defender and clutch to boot. Gallo spaces the floor defends hard and can carry the team at times. Wilson is solid. If we get bosh we will have a player that can carry us and doesn't get in the way of lebron's game- he compliments it. We will trade curry for a good post defender if not over the summer, then at the deadline. This team can easily carry us to the deadline with a winning record until we are able to complete the masterpiece.

That is wrong if you dont think he could play with Rose. Also its a massive assumption that Chris Bosh will be a Knick. Its not an assumption that the Bulls have Noah and Gibson--not to mention Rose Deng J Johnson and Hienrich all in place. they also have money and assets to do S+Ts to further enhance the team.
Forget about Curry for a second--we have Gallo Chandler[who is coming off injury and Douglas]--thats it! There is a tremendous amount of uncertainty there. No true PG no bigs no bench and prospects who are still not fully proven. I think some people think that Gallo has already proven he is as good as K Durant or something. Rose--proven star Gallo--showed good signs

You are looking at:
Davis pg
Gordon sg
Kaman C
Griffin pf
LeBron sf

yes, but the knicks have about $15M more in cap room than the Bulls.

the bulls, even with only 6 or 7 guys under contract next season have about $20M in cap space. they still have to fill out their team, same as the knicks. the knicks can get two max guys and still have a few million in change. no one is assuming bron or bosh is a given - but i think the only way bron comes is with bosh.

Lebron
Bosh
Gallo
Chandler
Douglas
Walker
ECurry's 11M expiring deal
still about $1.5-$2M in cap room to buy a first round pick

vs

Lebron
Rose
Noah
Deng (who would become totally redundant and need to be traded with bron)
Hinrich
Gibson
James Johnson
and about $3M in cap room to fill out the roster.

call me crazy, but i don't think that Bulls team is better than a Knicks team with Bron and Bosh and Gallo and Chandler and whatever they can get for Curry's expiring deal.

How can you or anyone assume that Chris Bosh will be a Knick? First off I hope it's D Lee for 6 years 66mm so we actually have cap space to fill out the roster. Lee is a Knick and says he wants to play here. If you want to make a case of LBJ for 17 Lee for 9+ his first year and8-9mm more in cap pace--that is more believable. I cant assume Chris Bosh

One of the biggest reasons LeBron James would sign here is to play with a Star like Chris Bosh. I don't see him coming here to play with David Lee. So your scenario doesn't work. Plus, you did say you hope LeBron doesn't come here. Did you change your mind?

Pharzeone wrote:I think Bosh is going to push Colangelo to a S&T with Houston where he can be close to home and be the main guy there. I think his sentiment of NY is similar to Wade's which is troubling to me. I think Artest is right about some of these guys not wanting to deal with the pressure of playing in NY.

Pharezone, why don't people(fans) in knickville believe that ??? Playing for the knicks is like dating and walking down the street with a girl with 3 breast. Everybody waiting and watching. The pressure to date her is too much for one guy to handle now days.
