McGrady Deal would set Knicks up nicely for Summer of 2010

NY POST – The Knicks and Rockets were closing in on a blockbuster deal yesterday that not only would bring Tracy McGrady to New York — but more important, could open up $9.5 million of additional cap space that would give the Knicks a chance to sign two All-Star free agents to maximum contracts this summer.

“We’ve made progress,” a source involved in the talks told The Post, an indication an agreement could be reached today.

The price the Knicks could pay for getting Jared Jeffries ($6.9M) off their books in this Rockets trade is giving up on their disappointing rookie lottery pick Jordan Hill, and possibly a 2012 first-round pick.

Another league source said last night the holdup is that Knicks president Donnie Walsh is still unsure he wants to surrender Hill. Still, Hill remains on the table as talks continue.

The bottom line is Donnie Walsh has to find a way to get this deal done.  Although I’ve always been a fan of his I could give a rats ass about T-Mac, this deal is all about cap room.

Unless you have been living on the Moon for the last 2 years you are well aware that this Summers NBA Free Agent class may be the most talented, and deepest free agent class we have ever seen in any sport, period.  So the importance for the Knicks to shed as much cap room as possible going into this off-season is huge.  As the Knicks payroll stands today they would not be able to sign two max contracts, only one.  Making the chances of Lebron landing in NYC that much less.  If this deal were to get done the Knicks would rid themselves of Jarred Jeffries ugly contract, which would ultimately allow them to sign two max contracts this summer.  Right now I see this as the Knicks only chance of luring Lebron James to NY next season, so to say this is a very important move for the Knicks is a huge understatement.

Cross your fingers Knicks fans……

Do your thing Marv

Utah Jazz rookie Sundiata Gaines, who is on a 10 day contract, hit a game-winning three-pointer against the Cavaliers last night and luckily for us, the best play-by-play man in the NBA was behind the mic. Marv, do your thing…

What’s worse Lebron tea bagging Iverson during warmups or Dallas Clark tossing Manning’s salad on the sideline?

I don’t care how good of friends you are with someone, tea bagging them, putting your cock on their face, or whatever this was is not cool man.  not cool.  Maybe John Amici would let that shit fly but I bet you A.I is planning a drive by on Lebron as we speak for this.  But as bad as it is to tea bag a gangster of A.I’s caliber this may be even worse:

There is hope for Knicks fans…more evidence that Lebron sweats us

lebron-yankee-sneakers1-480x360

LeBron James is wearing a new Nike shoe saluting his favorite New York team — the Yankees, not the Knicks.

On the left shoe, at the toe, the words “New York” are screened in laser navy blue print. It is cast over pinstripes. On the right shoe reads the number “27” over a baseball.

James was presented the shoe by Nike on Friday night before the Cavaliers’ ballyhooed blowout victory over the Knicks in his lone Garden appearance of the season. Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira, who attended the Cavaliers-Knicks game after their championship parade, also were given the shoes by Nike.

James didn’t wear them vs. the Knicks because he didn’t want it to cause a commotion and detract from the game, a source said.

James met with the Yankees after the final buzzer Friday and slapped hands with CC Sabathia during the game. Sabathia, a former Indians pitcher and a purported compadre, predicted James will be a Knick next season.

James said Wednesday he no longer will speak about his free agency because it’s disrespecting his current teammates.

For all those who don’t believe in Lebron coming to the Knicks in 2010, I really think you should start to reconsider.  Either Lebron is going to be playing in New York City next season, or he is the biggest dick of all time and just loves fucking with Cleveland fans already fragile emotions.

Lebron’s friend says the Cavs should be scared

lebron2010

NY Post – One of LeBron’s closest confidants, in response to those who mocked my disclosure Cavs chairman Dan Gilbert is terrified his meal ticket will abscond should the team not win a title, declared to friends, “They (Dan and his entourage; young owners have them, too) better be scared!”

I’ve been saying the whole time that all signs point to NY yet no one wants to believe.  So in an effort to get the rest of the country and more importantly NYC thinking my way let me present my case.

March 4th 2009 -Lebron comes to the garden for a game against the Knicks on.  Before the game Lebron tells the press he has bought a hot dog for every fan in the garden that night, I was there and I can tell you it was the best hot dog I’ve ever had.  Lebron puts an exclamation point on the night by becoming only the 2nd player in history to score 50 points while getting a triple double.  Unfortunately for Lebron the triple double was taken away from him the next morning because his 10th rebound was kind of bullshit.

August 22nd 2009 – Lebron goes on record, seemingly out of no where, to soften the blow for Cleveland.

“My loyalty is to Akron. I’m looking forward to this upcoming season, but I’m looking forward to the summer of 2010, too, to see what may happen. No matter what happens that summer, you know, I’m still here. I’ve got a nice big house here that I’m always coming back to. You know, I love this city and I’ll always give back to this city no matter what my profession; if it takes me somewhere else.”

Once again, I cannot imagine why he would do this if he was not at least STRONGLY considering leaving his hometown.

November 6th 2009 – Lebron comes to the Garden to destroy the Knicks again, only this time it’s not hot dogs, this time he decided to take out a full page ad in the NY Post to thank the fans of New York, and tell them he would be opening up clinics for high school kids in New York City

lebron ad

I know it’s a little hard to read this, but I was hammered Friday night and took this with my phone after I got home….I did my best

November 9th 2009 – One of Lebron’s closest friends tells sources that the Cavs ownership “better be scared!”, in a response to a question about whether or not the Cavs play this year should be a concern for ownership trying to keep Lebron in Cleveland.

I’ve been saying the whole time that Lebron is coming to the Knikcs but no one wants to believe.  I don’t know if people are afraid to get their hopes up or they really believe anyone would actually want to live in Cleveland.  Listen, I don’t want to sound like a prick here, but this is New York City.  Do you have any idea how much fun it is to be filthy rich in this city?  You can literally do anything you want at any time.  Now picture moving to Cleveland and being rich, I mean how many 100K T-Bell runs can you and your boys make before you realize how badly it sucks in Cleveland.   You might be wondering why I’m so confident in this even though everyone else says its not going to happen.  Well the reason is simple, this is NYC, we are better than everyone else and we know it.  I’m sorry Cleveland but you suck and nothing is ever going to change that.  Lebron knows this, I know this, and you know this.  And why the fuck would this guy be buying hot dogs for 19,000 fans, or taking out full page ads in the papers to thank fans of NY?  Do you think he does this shit when he goes to Dallas?  I don’t think so.

Braylon Edwards is a jealous little bitch

Browns Raiders Football

Well, the Browns’ season just got a whole lot better. Their “star” wide receiver was accused of punching a man last night and the victim says it’s all because Braylon Edwards isn’t as popular as LeBron James.

Club promoter Edward Givens filed a police report stating that he was given a black eye outside a Cleveland nightclub last night. The suspect’s name was not given in the report, but Givens had no problem telling the Cleveland Plain Dealer that it was Edwards—and also that Givens’ face was merely a proxy for Braylon’s jealousy of mutual acquaintence LeBron.

Here’s Givens’ side of the story:

“After the club closed, I was outside greeting and saying goodbye to people. Braylon comes up and started saying things, degrading me. He said if it wasn’t for LeBron or the Four Horsemen, I wouldn’t have what I have, nor would I be able to get girls. Everyone knows Braylon has a problem with LeBron. So I had to speak up for myself. The conversation started to escalate. As some of his teammates started to pull him back, he punched me. I have a black eye and a cut. I’m not a violent guy.

“As long as I’ve known Braylon, I’ve allowed him and his friends to come into our events free of charge. Whatever jealousy he has with LeBron, he felt he needed to take it out on me.”

Edwards—obviously amped up after his zero catch performance against the Bengals—then allegedly got involved in another disturbance that police had to break up, although it appears that he was not arrested for either incident. The whole story is a nice little capper to the Browns 0-4 start and Braylon’s anti-LeBron violence can only further endear him to already swooning populace of northern Ohio. I believe that earlier in the evening he also sent a text to Bob Feller telling him to “get bent.”

It’s been a really bad Monday for the Cleveland Browns.  First Brady Quinn gets abused by Common, then Braylon Edwards gets caught acting like a total douche bag.  On top of all that these guys had to wake up today being 0-4, and having Eric Mangini as their head coach which has to be fucking depressing as hell.

So this guy goes to clubs and starts hating on people because they are friends with Lebron?  Listen Braylon you are talking about Lebron James, the best basketball player in the world today.  You, on your best day, are the Cleveland Browns best Receiver so I think it’s safe to say that Lebron is in a different league than you.  What else must suck is that Braylon probably realizes that Lebron is  most likely a better WR than he is.  Basically Lebron is better than you at everything Braylon and I know that pisses you off.  But don’t start punching people because the Browns are a fucking joke in Cleveland.  I don’t care if fucking Stevie Wonder is your QB, when you catch zero balls on Sunday you should not be going out that night in the first place, and you certainly should not be going out running your mouth like you deserve special treatment.

Bottom line is stop acting like an asshole Braylon, nobody owes you shit, especially in Cleveland.

Lebron to the Knicks: One More Year

lebron-james-knicks

SARATOGA SPRINGS — William Wesley, one of LeBron James‘ advisers, attended the first day of Knicks’ training camp to monitor Eddy Curry’s comeback. Wesley, associated with Curry since the center was in seventh grade, formulated Curry’s summer weight-loss plan in Detroit.

Next year, Knicks president Donnie Walsh hopes to host “World Wide Wes,” as Wesley is known, again in Saratoga under grander circumstances — King James’ first practice as a Knick.

In the latest interview, James was asked about his Cleveland loyalty.

“My loyalty is to Akron,” James told ESPN. “I’m looking forward to this upcoming season, but I’m looking forward to the summer of 2010, too, to see what may happen. I love this city and I’ll always give back to this city no matter what my profession — if it takes me somewhere else.”

There are basically two types of people in this world.  Those who think Lebron James will be a Knick next year and those who don’t.  Why don’t you all do yourself a favor and hop on the first side because mark my words this is going to happen.  Of course you can be a douche bag and listen to sports writers who are wrong more than weathermen or you can just look at the writing on the wall.  It gets so much more obvious every single day.  Why do you think the Cavs signed Shaq?  They know they have one year left with Lebron, and if the city of Cleveland is ever going to win any kind of championship that it has to be now.

Move over Ted Danson

c21lebronL

Dr. J had THE FISH THAT SAVED PITTSBURGH, Michael Jordan had SPACE JAM, and Shaquille O’Neal had BLUE CHIPS… then KAZAAM… then STEEL… then the Congressional Medal of Honor.

And now LeBron James, the Hitchcock of the Hardwood, will have FANTASY BASKETBALL CAMP, a Brian Grazer-produced comedy to be scripted by the hip-and-now Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel. According to Variety, the film will center on the antics of “five guys from different backgrounds” who head out to Las Vegas to attend the LeBron James Fantasy Basketball Camp. Once there, they inexplicably get comfortable enough with the once and future MVP to start bothering him with their serious/silly personal travails. In other words, it’s CITY SLICKERS for hoops fans with LeBron playing the Jack Palance role. I hate myself for not thinking of this first.

In other James movie news, he’ll be appearing as himself in the Kris Belman-directed documentary MORE THAN A GAME, which opens theatrically in New York, LA, Akron and Cleveland on October 2nd.
