The media has been NY's worst enemy for years. They love to try and push our athletes until they snap and say something bad. They love to create controversy where there is none with false reports and then stick a mic in front of guys. They've done it with MDA this year and other coaches and players in the past.
If we don't get Lebron/Bosh, it would make sense to go after the next level of guys. JJ/Amare would out this team in the mix in the East. It's not the 10 year reign of glory you get with 25 yr old Lebron/Bosh, but you could get a good 3-5 year run out of those guys. Trust me that would seem like an eternity of good BB after what we've had here.
TD PG, JJ SG, Gallo SF, Amare PF, Jordan/Barron C ? You can do very well with that group and our shooters/Athletes off the bench. Chandler, Walker, Fields, Rautins off the bench is pretty good. We also don't know what we may end up doing in terms of Sign N Trades. What do we add from Curry's Contract? My point is that we can still build a team that can challenge in the East even if we have to settle for JJ/Amare. We'd have loads of passing, shooting and post play as well. We could run and play half court effectively. It's a well balanced team.
This doesn't mean that I'm conceding that we won't get Lebron.
