What are your thoughts on how a city like NY can raise the Knicks back to the days when saying you went to a Knick meant something! Any inside thoughts if LeBron is going to be the next best player in the Garden?

LeBron will stay with the Cavaliers. They have a great team right now and LeBron will get his ring in a year or two. The Knicks have to get rid of half of the players they are overpaying right now and get reliable guys. In 2010, the Knicks will probably get Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. It will probably be enough for a playoff birth but not an NBA Championship.

That's a big we shall see. I think next year if the Cavs don't make moves that do them good and still don't win the big one he won't be that difficult to pry loose. The pressure is on for Cleveland's management. I agree that Bosh is probably going to end up in New York even if the Raptors play to their potential next year. I'm not sure that's a great move for either party. I don't know that he'll make the Knicks much better. He's a jump shooting forward/center on a jump shooting team going to the same. I don't think that just because I want to see him stay with the Raptors and know that he probably won't. Dwayne Wade would be good for New York but they need to make more changes than that for this to be good for Dwayne Wade.

paoxac . . as they say from your mouth to g-ds ears . .but I am afraid for the Knicks to rise to what they once were . .or could be it is going to take a bit more than just Lebron or Wade to come and dribble in the garden! Time to build a good foundation . .. Heres to another year . . and my congrads go out to the La La Lakers! Happy Lotting to you

If their front office can work right, it might not take that long. It's sad that a city with probably the best fan base in the league has had to put up with the schtuff they've gone through the past few years. There is always hope. The Knicks didn't have much of a history to be proud of until the days of Willis Reed. Then they were on top of the world.
