The Knicks, who haven't given up on the dream of signing LeBron James, were granted a second meeting with the free agent superstar's representatives late Saturday in Cleveland, The Daily News has learned.
According to a Knicks official, Garden president Scott O'Neil and senior VP of Basketball Operations Glen Grunwald were dispatched to James' hometown and held a brief clandestine meeting with James' reps to make a second pitch to the two-time MVP.
It is unclear if James was in the meeting but it is believed that his business manager, Maverick Carter, and agent, Leon Rose, met with the two Knicks executives on the same day that James spoke to both the Cavs and Bulls.
The timing of the meeting is interesting since it came one day after the Knicks received a verbal commitment from All Star power forward Amar'e Stoudemire. The Knicks wanted to relay to James that the organization is committed to doing everything in its power to surround him with talent.
The sense the Knicks get is that James will likely re-sign with the Cavs. In fact, as recently as Thursday, one Knicks source said it was "very doubtful" that James would sign with New York.
Also yesterday, Joe Johnson announced that he would re-sign with Atlanta. Johnson was considering both the Knicks and Hawks but without a sign-and-trade deal, those teams could only offer $30 million less than Atlanta could.

So Maverick Carter is coming to meet the Knicks? Idk but maybe hearing about Stoudemire coming here changed his opinion about the Knicks. This is good because we all know how close Carter and James are.

Guys...get the booze ready for Wednesday-Thursday, something seems fishy here considering Monday was SUPPOSED to be the day he made his choice but now he's saying Wednesday and ironically Wednesday we get this meeting.

On thursday Free Agents can officialy sign. Keep your fingers crossed my friends.

  1. Knicks fans may want to kill this messenger, but multiple sources still say NY still trailing CLE, CHI, NJ on LeBron's list even w/ Amar'e
---------------

If NYK are behind the Nets with Amar'e then LJ's camp are idiots. Avery Johnson would be a terrible coach for LJ. Harris can't stand him. Same as he had in CLE. Amar'e > Lopez.

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.

According to Alan Hahn(per his twitter), Donnie Walsh said there is no meeting tonight again with LeBron and its just misinformation.
