Over at ESPN, Mark Stein examines the five most likely destinations for Lebron James this season. He elaborates in depth, but here are the five teams he lists:
Five Destinations For Lebron James
Your favorites:
1. Cleveland
2. New York
3. New Jersey
And then, two dark horse teams:
4. Miami
5. Dallas
And of the Knicks, he had this to say:
Dismiss the lure of Madison Square Garden and the Mike D’Antoni-Donnie Walsh partnership at your own peril.
MSG will forever be a basketball mecca, with or without its forthcoming expensive renovation, because Jordan declared it so. The Knicks also happen to have a coach who has undeniably strong street cred; D’Antoni is admired by just about everyone he’s worked with on Team USA. For all the valid questions about what the Knicks will be able to put around him, after stripping their roster all the way down to create maximum cap space, D’Antoni and Walsh are going to have a legit shot at LeBron.
Perhaps I’m a hopeless (and gullible) romantic, but I even believe that the prospect of being the guy who resurrects the Knicks and MSG appeals to LeBron almost as much as the aforementioned Cleveland-curse-lifter scenario.
Some great stuff from Stein, so check it out here.
