The Knicks finally made their splash after long years of dealing with Isiah Thomas' awesome signings throughout the years, James Dolan being a part of the Batshit Owners Union, and the movie Eddie. But I think the signing of Amar'e Stoudemire might not help the cause of bringing a title back to Madison Square Garden or even the playoffs.
People seem to forget a couple things about Stoudemire... like the fact he has mircofracture surgery and that he mailed in the season until the team floated his name around in trade talks then all the sudden, Amar'e looks inspired. Not to mention, he doesn't play defense whatsoever which is perfect for the Knicks system who allows about 110 points a game.
I will give you guys the bright side of Stoudemire and why the Knicks could prove me wrong by signing him. Except for the year he tore up his knee, he has averaged above 20 a game and almost 9 rebounds a game. He also has been developing a 'KG'-like shot from the elbow. Stoudemire has shown a great ability to run the court with a great point guard. Wait.. the Knicks don't have a point guard?
Steve Nash will not be there for Stoudemire and that is another big problem for him. He will not get the same amount of paint touches and the fast break dunks/alley oops that he was so use to throughout the years in the Valley of the Sun. A lot like in the NFL where some players are only as good as their quarterback, I believe you can say the same thing about post players in NBA with good point guards.
Stoudemire is a young player with bad knees already and yes if he gets LeBron James, it will be a different story. But I do not think he is that much of a game changer for the Knicks if he is the only piece of the puzzle they will add. He has never shown flashes of being an MVP-caliber player so why should think any differently?

The Month of July Belongs to LeBron
July 1st, 2010.
A date that any professional sports fan has been waiting for all summer. I am more excited than a 12 year old girl going to a Justin Biebler concert because this will alter a professional sports if some the major players decided to take the game elsewhere. Obviously, the biggest player in this game is LeBron James and I have already told people this will be Brett Favre times 10 in terms of media coverage starting on Thursday. So I recommend staying away from ESPN if you will be sick of this by hour two of free agency. Hell, they might break in from the World Cup to tell us if LeBron has signed with a team. Anyone who has a blog is writing their own theory about where LeBron will go and what needs to happen to land the biggest fish in NBA history. I, myself cannot wait and I am ready to tell you what I think might happen.
Originally, I thought James would go to New York because in my opinion, he loved the city and wanted to be the 'king' of it. He relished his opportunity to play at Madison Square Garden and I assumed the Knicks would make all the right moves with Donnie Walsh calling the shots. Once again, the Knicks find a way to screw things up and they look more out of it than the Memphis Grizzlies. I think James doesn't want to deal with a batshit owner like James Dolan. I will only spend a couple sentences on another batshit owner Donald Sterling of the Los Angeles Clippers, there isn't a snowball chance in hell that LeBron lives in L.A. either where for a couple years he shares the stage with Kobe Bryant, his ego wouldn't allow second fiddle. The other thing about the Knicks more so than the Clippers is they are a team that could drawn strong comparisons to his Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaking of the Cavs, they are out of it. You cannot convince me otherwise, LeBron's entourage benefits big time if he leaves the city of Cleveland so why would they spin anything positive for Cleveland? LeBron doesn't want to break the city's collective soul but he doesn't give a shit about Cleveland and their heartbreaks. Not once did he come out and say "Man, I remember where I was when Jose Mesa cost us Indian fans the World Series." or "When Art Modell took the Browns from us, I stopped caring about the NFL for awhile." If you find something like this please comment, but LeBron's fanhood (New York Yankees & Dallas Cowboys) speaks volumes of the type of person he is. James doesn't want to see losers, he wants winners therefore James is a 'fan' of two of the most successful franchises when he was growing up. James' ego will be bruised like a peach when he returns to Cleveland with more boos than Modell, but in the long run, he knows I might see Cleveland twice a year, that's it. He will move out of Akron and live wherever his new destination is.
I have already destroyed three fan bases, and now I will give the four candidates that have the best chance bringing LeBron on to their team. We will first start with the land of the Situation. The Nets are the Charlie Day wild card in all of this. I firmly think LeBron is intrigued by Mikhal Prokcohaov and the fact that he makes LeBron the biggest star in the tri-state area plus Russia. The fact his buddy Jay-Z is a part of the team helps out a lot and I know the Jigga man will use his pull to try to lure LeBron in. It would have helped them tremendously if they knew the new arena and the move to Brooklyn was legit, nothing has been finalized and LBJ could be playing in Newark for the rest of his career. I do not think they land LeBron but I am willing to bet a bigger name free agent will play the Bond Villain next fall.
Now let's move to South Beach where they are probably throwing a Free Agency Rager down there. I found it hilarious that Stephan A. Smith already broke the story about it's a done deal, stick to trying to pronounce Slava Medvedenko buddy. Now on to the Heat, I believe that Dwyane Wade will resign with the Heat and then he will make his best pitch to Bron to come play with him and probably Pat Riley. I almost hope for this because I know Riley will not take any of his occasional baby back bullshit and make all the decisions for LeBron, not the other way around. The Heat right now do not have a team with all the cap space they have cleared out therefore Wade can not only bring LeBron in, but also Chris Bosh or Amar'e Stoudamire. That leads to a super team for the next decade where they complete a hostile takeover of the NBA and win about four to five titles. One reason that could deter LeBron from sipping champagne in Florida is the lack of fans the Heat really have. No one in Miami cares about their professional teams and LeBron understands that no matter what he does, people still won't embrace him. If you see all the viral campaigns for LBJ, where is the Miami one? Nowhere to be found, they are just expecting DWade to deliver.
One team that could sneak in and steal LeBron is Dallas. I know it sounds crazy with their lack of cap space but they have a super weird deal with Erick Dampier (quick tangent, Fant, Eric, and I introduced ourselves as lowly NBA players at one all day drinkfest in Eau Claire, Fant went with the Mississippi State alum, high comedy) that allows for a sign and trade. Out of all the owners, I personally believe LeBron will want to play for Mark Cuban especially after resigning Dirk, he can play a year with Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, and Dirk plus a growing star in Rodrigue Beaubois. Cuban will pimp him out more than West Coast Customs does to all those shitty rides and make no mistake about it that Cuban saying he would want to play a couple of games in Jerryland was a subtle hint to LeBron. I mean imagine the pitch when Cubes tells LBJ, "Think about you versus Kobe, Saturday night prime time on ABC in Jerryland with a near sellout and everybody cheering for you against Kobe." If that's me, I am like where is the contract to sign? Even if it's a smaller market than others, LeBron knows that Dallas had the biggest stars in the 90s and could again in 2010 and beyond.
Finally, the team that I and others believe LeBron will play for next year is Chicago. I mean why wouldn't you right now? Derrick Rose running point guard and a physical force down low in Joakim Noah. If they could bring in another guy to complement Bron such as a Bosh or Dirk, they would be in awesome shape. Everything started to move towards the Bulls way after they hire Tom Thibodeau who has an agent with Worldwide Wes' company and helped Boston win a title plus get their this year. The inexperience might scare LeBron but only a couple teams who are fighting for King James have longstanding coaches. People argue that he wouldn't want to play under Jordan's large shadow but I think the opposite, he loves Michael and wants to be like him to the T. He wore his jersey in honor of him and said it should be a retired number anyways. He knows with the young talent they have plus a Stanley Cup Hockey, LeBron could make the Windy City, the epicenter of sports.

The LeBron Sweepstakes Are On (Breakdown of the T-Mac Deal)
Every New York Knicks fan knew that their team needed to make a big time move to give them a chance at having a chance at the Summer Sweepstakes of 2010 especially LeBron James. So the Knicks made a move to get Tracy McGrady's massive expiring contract from the Houston Rockets, and the Rockets pried away Kevin Martin somehow
SACAREMENTO GETS: PF Carl Landry, PF Joey Dorsey, SG Larry Hughes
HOUSTON GETS: SG Kevin Marin, C Hilton Armstrong, PF Jordan Hill, PF Jared Jeffries
NEW YORK GETS: SG Tracy McGrady, PG Sergio Rodriguez
In my opinion, the Kings felt that Rookie of the Year candidate Tyreke Evans cannot play with Kevin Martin on a day-to-day basis and feel it's better to move on with a promising young team with Evans, Omar Cassipi, Jason Thompson, and Spencer Hawes. It reminds me a lot of what the Oklahoma City Thunder did when they developed their team when they were still in Seattle. While I feel Houston didn't give up enough to get Martin, I still feel the deal will work out in the long run.
As for Houston, they are 2.5 games out of the playoffs right now but they become a pretty dangerous team with Martin. Already, they had a team who just scrapped and did everything to get by. Adding Martin to that mix makes them even more dangerous and gives them an actual scorer. I feel guys like Shane Battier, Trevor Ariza, and Aaron Brooks are much better when they are role players instead of being the star of the team. I feel this move will make Houston a playoff team without question
The Knicks did this primarily for the money reasons. New York can say what they want about getting T-Mac to get them to the playoffs, but c'mon, he is a lazy player who is a complete me guy. I doubt that McGrady will be enough spark to the get the Knicks to the playoffs. They got Jeffries off the books and they will move Eddy Curry this summer (owed 11.7 mil) to create enough space to get LeBron and Dwyane Wade. I truly believe that James will not be a Knick unless there is another player to build this team with him.
I, for one cannot wait for the 2010 summer.

NBA Daily: Jacko and Ivo Gone.
Trying to get caught up on the sports world. Once again, my apologies but I have some free time Friday afternoon while my main man JS is doing the school thing at Iowa. I hope to be all done by then but who knows a couple NBA stories...
Stephen Jackson goes to Charlotte... hahahahahaha- This could of been the best place for this asshole to go. I didn't want him to go to a new team and self-destruct the team (only if it was LeBron... I kid). He is the biggest cancer in the NBA right now, just creates problems. Also poor Charlotte... they get a team back and now they have $36 million dollars tied up in 2011 to four players who will not be superstars (Big ups to one of the ESPN guys who had that on Twitter, I want to say it was Marc Stein). The Bobcats will find a new location by 2012, trust me. Or if that awful movie proves to be true, there will be no basketball (Side Note: How the hell does that shitty John Cusack flim make 65 million?! That just shows movie-goers have no taste).
The end of Allen Iverson- It is so sad that Allen Iverson is now a nobody in the NBA world. I know when its all said and done, he may be the reason why the NBA suffered such a decline after Michael Jordan and the lockout. No one liked the tattoos and the attitude, whatever the guy was a new kind of point guard. He did some many great things on defense and drove to the hoop better than any short point guard I have ever seen. I hope Ivo goes to New York, only so he has an opportunity to play and end his career on the right note. If he goes to a team like Cleveland will be a complete disaster, trust me. We all know he doesn't want to play on the bench, just know that.

NBA Preview: Atlantic Division
The Atlantic Division is one that will not be much of a race and I only have one of their teams in the playoffs right now.
1. Boston Celtics: KEY PLAYERS: PF Kevin Garnett, SF Paul Pierce, SG Ray Allen OUTLOOK: The Celts have a chance to bring back that 2007 swagger because they have a healthy KG plus Rasheed Wallace coming off the bench. In addition, Boston will be the most badass team in the NBA this year. PREDICTION: 1st in the Eastern Conference
2. Philadelphia 76ers: KEY PLAYERS: PF Elton Brand, SF Andre Igoudala, PG Lou Williams OUTLOOK: The Sixers look like they have a chance at the playoffs but I feel they really screwed themselves with the Jrue Holiday pick this year. Also I dont trust Brand to stay healthy. PREDICTION: 9th in the Eastern Conference.
3. Toronto Raptors: KEY PLAYERS: PF Chris Bosh, SF Hedo Turkolgu, PG Jose Calderon OUTLOOK: Expect a huge year from Bosh in a contract year but I think Hedo will not work out at all for the Raptors. This is a huge year for the Raptors to keep their franchise players which I dont think happens. PREDICTION: 10th in the Eastern Conference.
4. New York Knicks: KEY PLAYERS: PG Nate Robinson, PF David Lee PF Al Harrington OUTLOOK: The Knicks are going to hope that they have one more year and then it will all change. This year will not be pretty again with no real true scorer. PREDICTION: 12th in the Eastern Conference.
5. New Jersey Nets: KEY PLAYERS: PG Devin Harris, C Brook Lopez, SG Courtney Lee OUTLOOK: It could be an ugly year for them and once the Moscow Assassin take over Lawrence Frank will be fired plus the team will be brand new in a couple years. PREDICTION: 15th in the Eastern Conference.

MSG Love Affair
Something is bothering me today.
That thing is how every one in the sports media is jumping all over the two performances by Kobe Bryant and Lebron James had in Madison Square Garden this week. Kobe had 61 points which is the high mark at the hollow MSG and then LBJ came two days later 55 points 11 rebounds 10 assists which was the first 50 point triple-double since 1975. Now the media is going nuts over these performances and according to ESPN "Sports Nation" said both of these performances were better than Willis Reed 1970 Game 7 and Reggie Miller eight point comeback with eight seconds left to win. That is insane.
For those who dont know the story of Reed, he was a star player for the Knicks in the 60s and 70s and in the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in 1970 he had a torn muscle in his thigh which kept him out of game 6. No one expected him to play in game 7 at MSG but he came out to start and scored the first two field goals. BUUUT Kobe and Lebron are better than that, get outta here.
I really should have E tell the story about Reggie Miller but since he isnt here so here we go... Miller score eight points in eight seconds to beat the New York Knicks in game one of the Divisional Playoffs in MSG. Just watch the video and you will see that no one since Miller has been able to do that in a game, playoffs or not. But according to ESPN, Lebron and Kobe are better, wow.
Even Michael Jordan's 55 point performance was more impressive than LBJ and Kobe because he did it against a quality team. I could drop 15 on the Knicks defense right now and I will not tell you had a better performance this week because they dont deserve anymore attention than they have already got.

Paving Way for Lebron
I would first like to give a shout-out to my boy Brett who has put out a new blog called Rocky's Rant as he joins the blog revolution.
The Knicks made some deals today which all surround them clearing the way for Lebron James in 2010 or any other free agent that tickles their fancy in 2010 which will be a historic year for free agency in the NBA.
The deals were....
Golden State gets Jamal Crawford
New York gets Al Harrington
Not a bad deal for the Knicks as they get a good post presence in Harrington who helps the rebounding load with David Lee and he will get a daily 15-20 points. Crawford fits nicely in Golden State and gets out of the guard-packed New York
LA Clippers get Zach Randolph, Marty Collins
New York get Tim Thomas, Cuttino Mobley
Clippers may now have one of the best big man combinations in the league in addition might have one of the most physical teams as well with having Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman, and now Randolph. Their guards should not be allowed to shoot the ball just throw it down into one of the three of those guys. The Knicks get Tim Thomas who still has some left in the tank as well as Cuttino Mobley who should give them good minutes.
What this all boils down to is the Knicks have now cleared enough money out of the way so they can bring Lebron James to New York. Granted they would settle for Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, or Amare Stoudamire but they WANT/NEED Lebron James in Knicks' fans opinions. They feel that he belongs playing in MSG and getting the Knicks the titles they havent had for years.
