BrooklynNets
Rookie
Could you imagine all the buzz that will be surrounding the Nets once they're the best team in the NBA and move to Brooklyn?
In addition to the Knicks I also root for the Mavericks. They have won 50 games every year for like 10 years. I will rooting for them in these years playoffs. If they ever went out and somehow traded for Kobe and then were to beat the Lakers, it would be hollow. I don't want them to get Kobe. I want them to beat Kobe. So, in that sense, I hear you.
However, the Knicks have been out of the playoffs for years. They have stunk for years. They now have a chance to get a player who is, by far IMO, the best player in the league. And he is 25 years old. And, it is quite clear that he is one of the best basketball players ever. EVER. IN HIS ABSOLUTE PRIME.
You have a chance to sign a 25 year old LeBron and you are a Knick fan and you are hoping you can't sign LeBron as a free agent? Really?
Larry Bird was 23 years old when he was a ROOKIE in 1980. . Can you imagine a Celtics fan who would have said "I hope we don't draft Larry Bird from Indiana State. Lets draft Purvis Short or Michael Ray Richardson and then we can BEAT Larry!"
The Knicks have a chance at one of the best players EVER @ 25 years old.
And as a fan, you don't want that to happen. I don't get it.
You don't have to worry about Lebron coming to the Knicks because he will be on the Nets by July.
You must be out of your mind. Did you get released from the psych ward early?! Someone needs to get fired from that place, this isn't safe -.-
The thing about that is, the Celtics DRAFTED him.If we drafted LeBron then he'd be our homegrown player.In addition to the Knicks I also root for the Mavericks.

lol at this bandwagon fan.when the nets where winning ecf championships nobody gave a shit about them.they could build the ****ing taj majal in brooklyn for the nyets, and its still wouldn't compare to the mecca.amd that's all that matters.The Nets owned the tri state area throughout the first decade of the 00's and once they get Lebron James, John Wall and a new head coach, they will be sitting on the throne.

I know what you're saying, but I really don't like the bandwagon surrounding he'd give us.So you only want players that the Knicks "drafted" on the team? Well, you won't be getting any new good players any time soon. If you rely on the draft to get you players, the next few years as a Knicks fan will be VERY bleak. Fact is, Bernard King was not even drafted by the Knicks.
If you were the best player in the NBA, which players would you want to have on your team, John Wall and Brook Lopez or Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari?
:agreed: very well put my friendI see what RJ is trying to say. And I HATE Bron Bron right now. I want to see him fail in Cleveland. That being said I can not deny his greatness. If he does sign with this team, we become contenders already. He's that good. If I had the option, I'd want to have a lot of pieces that could take him. But in the end he's a world class athlete, and he is the best basketball player in the world. If he does sign with the Knicks I'd have to deal away with my prejudicies. But if we could I'd love to rebuild like the Blazers did. That's why no matter who we sign, Gallo will be my favorite player. And that is also the reason I love David Lee. Yea I know he doesn't play that great of defense, but look at how hard hes worked. He was a "talentless bum" coming out of college. He could grab a couple rebounds here and there. But look at how much better he's gotten in New York. Building throught the draft def gives you a closer connection with the players. All that being said, if Bron Bron wants to come to New York, we do it, because in the end we fans, and the organization wants a trophy. Lebron can do that.
