Listen, heres my thinking. Thats BS. If the Knicks are 4th in the running then why in the world was there a meeting about contractual information face to face yesterday in the morning and why would the Knicks contingent(if its still the same contingent as it was) fly out to Ohio again for another meeting with LeBron and why would Mav be flying out to NY on Wednesday(if he still is with this meeting going on tonight). If LeBron had the Knicks in 4th and all these meetings are the Knicks doing, I dont know why LeBron would just go "Listen, if I leave Cleveland, it will be to go to either NJ or CHI, so just dont waste your time." LeBron obviously really, really likes the Knicks, IMO, and I would not be surprised if the Knicks have the best opportunity right now to land him if he leaves Cleveland. The fact that the Knicks are having a 3rd meeting with the LeBron camp, this being the 2nd meeting with LeBron there himself speaks to why these sources could just be people who have an agenda or just whatever or just they are wishfully thinking.
I concur. Plus the report that Lebron wont decide until Wed-Thur.
I can understand LJ's people appeasing NY by listening to their pitch yesterday now that they have Amar'e.... being nice.... hearing what sort of contract they have left to offer, and their vision of the team in 2010 if they max both STAT and LJ.
But to have another rushed meeting tonight, on July 4th?
LJ probably watched Amar'e at the Yank game, and CC called him.... He probably told his peeps to move fwd.... Hence the invite. Contract talks.
LJ has his NIKE camp in OHIO. Doesn't want to spoil it for the kids.
Carter probably has stuff to do with that camp Mon-Tue.... can't get away. Whatever. They also want to let Amar'e have his moment.... He'll fly to NY and finalize the deal.
Thursday morning. When deals can be announced.... Lebron will hold a press and tell the world he is moving to NEW YORK CITY to play for the Knicks!
