LeBron James Can Only Buy Knicks’ Stock If He Doesn’t Join the Knicks LebronJames | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Knicks, NBA Media Watch, The BonusMichael Ozanian of Forbes wrote last week that LeBron James would be going to the Knicks because he could use his salary to buy some stock in MSG, the Cablevision spin-off consisting of the Knicks, NHL Rangers and a few other related assets, including Madison Square Garden, the mecca. As a Knick with stock in the Knicks, LeBron would in a way control his own wealth -- he could see more rewards for his high play. Mind you, Ozanian, the national editor of Forbes, bases his entire assertion that LeBron will ...

Why Cavs Would Help LeBron James Leave LebronJames | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, NBA Rumors, NBA TransactionsThe Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to lose LeBron James.That is not in dispute. Cavs management will do everything in its power to convince LeBron to stay put, sign a maximum-value contract for six years with an opt-out after Year 4 and the largest trade bonus possible, with as much money up front as possible. If it takes firing Mike Brown and replacing him with Mario Batali, the Cavs will in all likelihood do it. LeBron is that special. But if LeBron is set on leaving for a team with ...

War Games: 2010 NBA Free Agency AmareStoudemire, Carlos+Boozer, ChrisBosh, DirkNowitzki, DwyaneWade, JoeJohnson, LebronJames, Rudy+Gay, Yao+Ming | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Kings, Knicks, Mavericks, Nets, Rockets, Suns, Timberwolves, Wizards, Thunder, NBA Transactions Now that the Wizards have struck the first blow in free agency by winning the NBA Draft lottery and thus John Wall, we can start assessing which free agent scenarios can play out this July. Wall-to-D.C. hurts the Nets, obviously, but also makes Washington a player in the summer's proceedings. But beyond Wall, other teams are setting themselves up to win this era's greatest battles: those to be fought over LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki, Joe Johnson, Yao ...

Cavs Have Most at Stake in LeBron Sweepstakes Antawn+Jamison, LebronJames | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Cavaliers, Knicks, NBA TransactionsIt has been consensus since the trade deadline that no team has more riding on the Summer of LeBron James than do the Knicks. New York has been bleeding assets for years in a valiant attempt to shed long-term contracts signed by the previous regime. At the deadline in February, Knicks prez Donnie Walsh made his boldest move yet, trading a rookie and two potential lottery picks to open up enough cap space for a second max-level free agent this summer, with the idea LeBron could only be wooed to NYC if a ...

New York Media Getting Desperate for LeBron LebronJames | Comments Off
by Tom ZillerFiled under: Cavaliers, Knicks, NBA Media WatchSay what you will about New York magazine's full-bodied plea for LeBron James to choose the Knicks -- you can call it desperate, but you have to admit it was also pretty darn cute. The New York Daily News is taking a slightly different tact. Frank Isola, the paper's Knicks beat man, took the Cavs' 2-2 series with Boston as an opportunity to publish a piece noting Game 5 could possibly be LeBron's final home game in Cleveland, should the Cavs lose Game 5 and 6 and should James flee Ohio come July. ...

Filed under: Cavaliers, Knicks With the start of the 2009-10 season looming, NBA FanHouse walks through the Valley of the Most Likely; we shall fear no topic. Madison Square Garden is the crown jewel of NBA arenas. It's the oldest building in the league, and has hosted a ton of special moments throughout its history. Many of those moments likely helped shaped the hoop dreams of many of the league's current stars. Of course, no one had a greater influence on making MSG a special place to play than Michael Jordan (sorry, Knicks fans). Since Jordan, every ...

Will Joe Johnson’s Future Be in Atlanta? Joe Johnson, JoeJohnson, LeBron James, LebronJames | Comments Off
Filed under: Bobcats, Hawks, Knicks, TimberwolvesSince arriving in Atlanta in 2005, Joe Johnson has been the resident star of the Hawks. Josh Smith draws the oohs and aahs with the highlight reel dunks and eye-popping stat lines, but Johnson has been the only player to really approach greatness, his finest moment coming in the 2007 playoffs, which we mentioned a few days ago.It's long been expected that Johnson would sign an extension within the last few weeks, to lock him up with the Hawks for the forseeable future, without any question of him going elsewhere in the summer of 2010. ...

LeBron James Appears on the Daily Show, Gets Recruited by Jon Stewart Jon Stewart, Jon Steweart, JonStewart, JonSteweart, LeBron James, LeBron James Daily Show, LebronJames, LebronJamesDailyShow | Comments Off
Filed under: Cavaliers, Knicks, NBA Last Night, NBA Media Watch, NBA VideosJon Stewart returned from hiatus for the first Daily Show in three weeks, and he came back with a pretty large bang. Not only did he thrash Joe Wilson and Glenn Beck (par for the course), but he also welcomed on this fella named LeBron James. James, as you may know, is fairly decent at basketball. Stewart, in case you didn't know, is a huge Knicks fan. What would amount to "recruiting violations" in college ensues. Watch the video after the jump. ...

Source: Wife Will Sway Grant Hill to Sign With Knicks Grant Hill, GrantHill, LeBron James, LebronJames, paul pierce, PaulPierce, Steve Nash, SteveNash | Comments Off
Filed under: Celtics, Knicks, Suns, NBA Rumors, NBA TransactionsNot many free agents in any sport elect to play in New York because of "family reasons.'' According to a source, it looks like Grant Hill will. Hill, the 36-year-old small forward, is leaning toward accepting an offer from the Knicks instead of the Boston Celtics or Phoenix Suns on Thursday, and a major reason is his wife Tamia, a national recording artist who would benefit greatly from him playing in New York. Although the Celtics would give him a much greater chance at winning a championship, they are offering considerably less ...

Starbury Tells Free Agents to Avoid NYC, Lashes Out at Knicks Donnie Walsh, DonnieWalsh, LeBron James, LebronJames, Mike D'antoni, MikeDantoni, Stephon Marbury, StephonMarbury | Comments Off
Filed under: Celtics, Knicks, NBA Media Watch, NBA RumorsStephon Marbury is one of those weird characters who has just the right mix of "crazy" and "keepin' it real" where you can't ever be sure whether to trust or distrust him. Personally, I think he's a bad apple who keeps getting too many chances, but some people feel differently.After Marbury recently did a Knickerbocker-beat-down of an interview with the New York Post, I would imagine no one who plays professional basketball in the Big Apple is much of a fan either. Marbury's quotes are full of disparaging remarks, as he essentially ...

Filed under: Cavaliers, Knicks, Mavericks, Nets, Trail BlazersOK, sure, stacking Josh Howard, Jason Terry and former MVP Dirk Nowitzki around him was no more successful than surrounding him with Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson, but you know what they say: 18th time's the charm. And it's in that spirit that Jason Kidd re-enters the NBA free agency market.The Dallas Morning News reports that Kidd is expected to have quite the buffet of suitors once he hits the market, with the Mavericks leading the way. Other options for the former All-Star include New York, Cleveland, Portland, Boston, and even possibly the ...
