I expect the Nets new owner to try to outbid us this summer. Plus they have the assets to facilitate S&T's.

if Lebron & Bosh come here this summer, i'm gonna say Amare joins up with D Wade in MIA this summer & we have another great rivalry w/that franchise... the Eastern Conference will once agin return to its former glory!

(there, you see? i'm not always so doom & gloom)

I'm sure there's a lot of assets on a team thats real close to losing 70 games.

It's kind of hard to say because both teams have to reallly be good. what would make a real good rivalry is if wade, bosh, or LBJ comes here and we go up against there prior teams in the playoffs .

Miami became a rivarly because of pat riley's departure, indiana became a rivarly because of Spike and Starks,
Boston...well no NYKer likes any boston team, and we just kept running into mike J year after year and were essentially the 2 best teams in the east .

Who do you think a top 4 lottery pick packaged with Devin Harris can get?

if the Nets land John Wall this summer they will have 3 valuable young assets to offer in sign & trade scenarios with Lopez & Harris combined w/the cap space to take on extra salary in a deal... the Knicks will have cap space, Gallo & Wilson Chandler, along with D Lee who will hold the cards as to where he lands in a sign & trade because of his UFA status... IMO the Nets' assets will probably trump ours from a value standpoint.

still, my guess is Gallo won't be offered in any trades for anyone unless we're talking about a player like Lebron, Wade, Melo, Howard, CP3 or Durant, & i don't think the Knicks have enough assets to land any of those guys in sign & trades regardless... i doubt any of those players will want to go to play in NJ either, so i don't see them being a rival with us for at least another couple years after their young talent has a chance to grow & gel... i'm assuming the Knicks will be upgrading their roster to at least be a playoff contender next season... i doubt the Nets will be there for another year or 2.

Outbid us and trade both Lopez+Harris for LBJ in a S+T? Yah, he'd be just itching to come to the Nets in a S+T I bet.

Chicago. Always and Forever.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I say the Bulls. They're mediocre right now and can greatly improve their team this summer with a free agent signing. Pacers suck, Nets are still awful and play in Jersey so I don't see anyone significant signing there, and the Celtics are aging and at the end of their rope. The Heat could be one depending on what signings they make this summer and if they lose Wade or not.

Rivalry's start in heated playoff battles, not cause both teams are just winning.

You have to win to get to the playoffs, right?
