Having grown up in NJ, it's much easier being a Nets fan than a Knicks fan. Madison Square Garden has history, but the place is falling apart and need's a major face lift much like the team itself. Isaiah Thomas drove that team into the ground. NJ has been up and down, but NY has been amazingly poor since Ewing left.
The Knicks also bet the farm that they could pull Lebron like the Yankees across town and get anyone they want. Um. They were WAY wrong.
I assure you that Lebrons agent regrets it right now.
Why is that? less money for the agent?
I wasn't paying attention to the whole NBA trade going on the last summer so excuse my ignorance.
Aside from the fact that the Lebron free agency was a massive fiasco that has possibly forever altered his Q rating (as a result cost him millions in endorsements), Miami is a mess and New York is currently playing very very good ball.
Lebron and Amare would have been a better tandem than what Miami puts on the court.
But money is the major issue. Lebron saving Knicks hoops would have made him a billionaire; a sports icon that we havent' seen since the heyday of MJ...instead he decided to be with his friends in South Beach and it's simply not a good combo. lebron and wade do almost the same exact thing and fill the same exact role and they know they made a mistake. They can be friends the rest of their lives but I assure you they wont' be teammates for more than 3 years. Lebron will get out when he can.
