Is it really Lebron or Bust for NY Knick fans? I kept my promise on not writing about the Knicks this season, in order to save myself the aggravation and turmoil (also tax season is officially over). The season for the Knicks is officially over and now the writing, speculation and hope begins for all NY Knick fans. Will it really be a horrible summer if they do not land LeBron James? Donnie Walsh has given every indication that he merely set up the franchise to be able to sign free agents within the next two years. LeBron James is CLEARLY not leaving Cleveland! He has been quoted as saying, "I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland,' James said. 'And I won't stop until I get it." Maybe he does get it this year or maybe not either way he is not leaving Cleveland. A whole city (maybe even state) is depending on him being there. We all know the Cleveland Browns and Indians are not winning anytime soon so the city is fully dependent on the Cavaliers and LeBron James. How bad will LeBron James look if he were to leave Cleveland for more money (or as he states a better team)? How bad will the economy in Cleveland suffer if he were to leave? Cleveland fans constantly heckle and boo the Brown's players every season, now just imagine when LeBron comes into Quicken Arena sporting a NY Knicks jersey (any other city for that matter), do you really think that Cleveland will give him a standing ovation, highly doubt it. Donnie Walsh has put the Knicks in position to attract all free agents to the New York market, not just LeBron James. So while all the writers, bloggers, and analyst crave for LeBron James they are making the other free agents almost feel not wanted. Just look at the case of Dwayne Wade stating that he wants to be "wooed" as well. We can't forget that there are other free agents that can make the Knicks competitive again. Take any combination of Joe Johnson, Dwayne Wade, Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh and let's not forget 2011 free agent Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks have a better chance of landing a combination of the 2010 top tier players mentioned or getting one in 2010 and landing Melo in 2011 (what's another year to wait for....right). New York City has been waiting for this for over a decade. It's time to establish NYC as the mecca of all basketball again! SO LET'S ALL SIT BACK AND HOPE THAT "YES WE CAN" BECOME A BETTER TEAM NEXT YEAR!
