If there's no lockout, whats the chance Lebron just picks up his option for an extra year and become a FA same time as Melo ?
If Walsh does sign anyone, hope he works the contracts out so he finds a way to be able to pick up CP3 or Deron for 2012 season... I honestly think both of them will be leaving their teams
Deron to a Texas team, and CP3, hopefully to us..

The whole point when the Class of 03 made their deals was to become free agents this summer before the new CBA. That way they can cash in on a long term deal that will most likely be worth more than if they waited until 2011 like Melo did.

Gonna suck when Melo hears, "We'll offer you a max contract...worth of $10M"

Obviously you missed the point of my post.
Lebron says "Cavs I'm gone to Chicago. I want my extra money and don't want to leave you with nothing. Make a sign and trade happen with Chicago."
So for a money=money deal something like that would have to happen. That's all I suggested as a possibility. Great contribution.

Sources have said that Melos thinks Lebron will stay. Him Bron have been talking heavy lately...I don't believe it tho, I still think lebron will come to Chi!

So... with Curry, he has an option, but he picked it up for next year. So his season is not over yet, when can we trade him... draft night right?
since you bring curry up, that sounds about right.
Sometimes there are some loopholes that GMs find to make it work out anyway. But most likely Curry would be traded on draft night anyway.

giving them Deng is worse than leaving them with nothing.

“…None of it has gone unnoticed at 2 Penn Plaza. In fact, just as much as the franchise is preparing for a billion-dollar pitch to get LeBron, there is just as much of an emphasis on the plan without LeBron. And here’s what appears to be the most significant principle of that plan that Knicks fans should know: there does not appear to be a Wait-Til-Next-Year plan.
While no one should expect that the sage and calculated Donnie Walsh will cover his eyes and throw cash at whoever walks through the door, it is likely the Knicks will be extremely aggressive this summer in an effort to build a contending roster, with or without http://sny.stats.com/nba/playerstats.asp?id=3704&team=/www.theknicksblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png")">http://www.theknicksblog....ages/external.png") no-repeat scroll right center transparent;" rel="external">LeBron James. It may not come via free agency, either. According to several sources, the Spurs may be downplaying trade rumors involving Tony Parker, but they are clearly ready to consider moves. The franchise committed to Manu Ginobili and have George Hill as a built-in replacement, which has made Parker expendable. But at what cost?
The Knicks would love to get a deal done before July 1 as an attention-grabber for free agents, but it might take the rights to http://sny.stats.com/nba/playerstats.asp?id=3956&team=/www.theknicksblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png")">http://www.theknicksblog....ages/external.png") no-repeat scroll right center transparent;" rel="external"avid Lee in a sign-and-trade to get the Spurs talking. If that’s the case, it couldn’t happen until after July 1, because, as a one-year contract player, Lee can’t be signed to an extension…

i think lee would rather go to san antonio than toronto. i think this has more of a chance. But still i don't see anyone helping us out because everyone knows every move we make is in order to get lebron. i just hope that other GM's feed into the lebron to chicago stuff.
and yes i still think we are getting him and Bosh. all of this stuff is being leaked and the media is being played. unless Bosh won't go to NYC under any circumstances, which i guess is possible.

[h2]Jeter, Jay-Z not recruiting James to N.Y.[/h2]
http://search.espn.go.com/andrew-marchand/
NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks might want the Yankees to help recruiting LeBron James, but Derek Jeter doesn't see the point.
"It wouldn't make sense," the Yankees captain told ESPNNewYork.com.
Knickspresident Donnie Walsh wants as many New Yorkers as possible to helpconvince James to choose Madison Square Garden when NBA free agencyopens July 1. James is a Yankees fan, and has a special pair ofYankee-styled Nikes.
"If there's Yankees that want to help us, we would involve them," Walsh told the New York Post on Sunday.
James' good friend Jay-Z echoed Jeter's sentiment on recruitment.
"That's his decision," the hip-hop mogul and part owner of the New Jersey Nets said in a Rolling Stone interview.
"We'refriends -- we've still gotta hang out! I don't want to convincesomebody to do something, then have to see him and say, 'Uh, yeah,we're 4-30 ... sorry.'"
CC Sabathia is also friends with James, but admitted he didn't know what he'd say to persuade James to pick New York.
"You don't have to sell winning in New York," Jeter said.
Whenit was pointed out to Jeter that since he has won in New York, Jamescould find out about how special it is, Jeter still didn't budge.
Jeterhypothetically compared it to if he were going to be recruited by oneof the Los Angeles teams and Magic Johnson called him.
"If I weregoing to another baseball team, how would a basketball player help?"Jeter said. "I don't play basketball. I have nothing to do with that."
Unaware of Walsh's comments at the time he spoke about James, Jeter said he doubted the Knicks would ask him.
"I don't see how it would work," he said. "It is completely different."
Jeter, who was a standout basketball player in high school, knows James a little.
"He'sa nice guy," Jeter said. "He's a big Yankee fan so I've gotten to meethim. I probably think of him as a player like everyone thinks of him asa player -- he can do anything."
thanks captain
but i know what he's saying. it really can't be a major factor. he isn't signing up just because Jeter says he should, and you don't need to sell winning in NYC. people know what it's like, just look at the parades.
i went on ESPN NY and of course they have a nice one sided propaganda filled article about how lebron wouldn't make more money in NYC. i'm starting to enjoy the hate. it's sooooo strong

The part about waiting another year, obviously, doesn't make any sense at all. But are you really saying that you would prefer Chris Paul over Deron Williams? I agree they are both leaving. If Deron wants anyone to notice him he has to get out of Utah. But aside from wearing really tight suits I can't think of a thing Chris Paul does better than Deron Williams.Originally Posted by YEEUPP

Deron is probably my fav PG but I think he would go home before he came here.. Dot mean I wouldn't want him in NY..
San Antonio are looking for a big .. Were looking for a PG, D Lee makes alot of sense.. If we do get Parker how can we get bosh and James , wouldn't we be just like the bulls.. Needing a sign and trade ?

I don't think LeBron and Parker would fit together. He's not enough of a shooter.
I think Deron Williams proved he was the better PG this year in pretty much every way. I don't really get how he could be worse in this offense.

Deron would kill if he played for Dantoni
I don't think he proved it just because they beat an overrated Denver team that was falling apart at the seams for two months without Karl on the bench. CP3's taken crummier teams further into the playoffs. Deron wouldn't get worse but I think Paul would just become even better than he is. In a running, 12 second offense I'd take Paul. Bringing the ball upcourt a lot faster, in and out of defenses faster and gets to the rim faster. Deron uses his body and size to overpower other guards when you wouldn't necessarily need that in a D'Antoni offense.

"Deron uses his body and size to overpower other guards when you wouldn't necessarily need that in a D'Antoni offense."
You would in D'Antoni's defense. And I think he would be able to change his offense to fit a different system. He could go faster.
But it doesn't matter yet anyway.

Deron is fast enough

The funny thing is, CP3 plays in one of the slower paced offenses in the league. Not to mention Deron is a better shooter, which makes me think he can do just as good, if not better than CP3 in a fast paced offense.
