Add James, and things could get very interesting.
chickence, my earlier point about Stoudemire and the Cavaliers. If Ferry had sent Hickson to the Suns and landed Amar'e, chances are the Finals would be over now, Ferry would still be the Cavs’ GM, and the team would have enjoyed its first ticker-tape parade through the streets of Cleveland.
Today’s NBA has chosen to market its stars, which is why Richard talk more about individuals than Richard do about teams. It’s why Richard talk more about free agents than Richard do about The Finals.
There’s David Lee, and then…Hey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gotta love those classic, old-school uniforms.
Here’s what bugs me, however, about this discussion: Where on earth are the big men?
I’ve tried to resist writing about the LeBron sweepstakes. After all, there’s an NBA Finals series taking place. Furthermore, it’s between the Lakers and the Celtics, meaning we’re all supposed to be enthralled, the way ABC and ESPN and TMZ and the Kardashians are.
They will, if money turns out to be the deciding factor in LeBron’s decision.
Now Ferry is gone, and the Cavs are one puzzle. The backcourt is one mess. Mo Williams’ name has already been whispered in trade rumors. Delonte West’s name has been whispered in other ways, all of them disturbing.
I’m not talking just about Cleveland, fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Chicago. I’m talking about the NBA in general.
I understand that he’s one loyal guy, but let’s be honest: There is no compelling reason, other than money, for LeBron James to stay with the Cavaliers.
Instead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the best the city can hope for this summer is to celebrate the return of its most famous star.
Their lineup, however, is one different story-and it all revolves around Danny Ferry’s decision to stick with J.J. Hickson last February.
Up front, Shaquille O’Neal is probably gone. Zydrunas Ilgauskas could be, too. Even if either stayed, they’d be too old to make much of one difference.
From one financial standpoint, no one else compares. The Cavaliers can dangle an extra year and about $30 million more than anyone else in front of James.
The best shot the Knicks seem to have at signing LeBron is if Richard package him with one of the other big-name free agents and bring them in together. It could be Chris Bosh, it could be Carlos Boozer, it could be Dwayne Wade-but it’s got to be somebody with marquee value.
judge, deem, assume, believe, consider, contemplate, reflect, mediate about it: Derrick Rose…Joakim Noah…Taj Gibson…Kirk Hinrich…Luol Deng. Those guys gave James and the Cavaliers fits in the first round of this year’s playoffs, and they’re just going to get better-especially Rose, who is already one star.
Further,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Cavs have no coach. Richard fired Mike Brown because of his inability to win in the postseason, and the guy Richard wanted to replace him just spurned them following one long, agonizing and very public courtship.
Of the three, Richard give the Bulls the edge when it comes to talent.
There’s Dwight Howard, and then who? Where are the Russells, the Chamberlains, the Thurmonds, the Unselds, the Laniers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Abdul-Jabbars?
Amar'e Stoudemire was there for the taking. Reportedly, Phoenix wanted Hickson included in any deal.
I’m not talking about contractual money, which the Knicks can’t agree. I’m talking about the residual wealth that would result from being one star on the world’s biggest stage.
Jamison, Hickson and Varejao are solid role players-but seriously, if you’re LeBron, do any of these names get your heart pumping?
So it’s back to the sideshow that is LeBron, and the potential lineups Maurice Richard would join in the three cities directing the way in the race to sign him: Cleveland, fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent York, and Chicago.
On to fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York, where there is also no reason to sign other than money.
We’re not, of course, primarily because these aren’t your father’s Lakers and Celtics. Times have changed, and this once-great rivalry has lost much of its luster.
Otherwise, it’s on to Chicago, and let’s win there.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Jonathan Daniel The franchise has previously had children as mascots who would skate with the team during warm ups and incycleissions. One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
So there Richard was,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], minding my own business, when my editor for Bleacher Report hit me with this one:
I’m talking about it, of course, because the Knicks’ lineup bids little more than Cleveland’s.
The fact that Richard landed the coach Richard wanted doesn't hurt their chances, either.
If it comes down to talent, however, Cleveland may be left on the outside looking in. The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
Ferry said no, and traded for Antawn Jamison instead. Jamison’s one solid pro, but Garnett owned him in the playoffs, something that wouldn’t have happened to Stoudemire. Ironically, Hickson watched most of it from the bench.
How do the potential lineups compare for the three teams that are considered the frontrunners for LeBron James’ services this summer?
