Make or break for T-Mac.. He's playing with very solid players in New York (assuming he's really healthy to play again) in 1st-time All-Star David Lee, Slam Dunk Champ Nate, Gallinari, etc.

He has a lot to prove now that he's in the twilight of his career. As a fan who used to love his play in Orlando, I hope he at least redeems himself in New York.

I think in the end though, these teams (Knicks and Bulls) creating all this space, wont get any of the top top free agents. I think Johnson, Boozer and Bosh will be spread through out these teams, but what does that really get them? Into the 7th or 8th seed?

So true, unless you land Lebron, D Wade or Amare, your going nowhere in either conference.

Nope, he's now a Celtic.

The 2010 x-factor's are Bosh and Amare.

I think Lebron and Wade stay with their teams. I believe Bosh leaves the Raptor's and ends up (1. Chicago 2.New York or 3. Miami). I am not sold on Amare opting out with the money owed however, labor contract ending in 2011 may make him consider opting out.

Johnson, Boozer and Gil (via trade) and others will be nice pick ups but must be combined with a super star to have an BIG impact.

In the end, all this prolly isnt going to matter. The top seeds in each conference are going to be at the top for awhile until Kobe retires or Lebron changes teams. Miami just doesnt have enough pieces regardless who they pick up in the offseason. 2 players cant do it all themselves.

True. A few upper echelon teams will rule the roost until a decent team lands a stud or up and comer steps up.

If Cleveland doesnt resign Big Z Im not impressed w/ the trade.. Jamison plays no defense.. scorer.. big deal.. He would be matched up w/ Pau or Odom and would get taken to the hole.. Big Z and Shaq out there together is what beat us when they played us.. Our bigs are used to over powering w/ thier size.. we couldnt do that vs those 2 Behemoths..

Lot of hype about this one.. Will be great (and expensive) for them if they get Z back.. If not, downgrade in how they match up w/ the Lakers..

Bodie has spoken..

 

[LoneWolf]

I hope Z does not report to his new team, and re-sign with Cleveland as a free agent ('Zo did it before, even Allen Iverson retired to get out of Memphis).

The Wizards have no use for him. He's like Zo and Miami, he won't play anywhere else.

 

[ProgMatinee]

not a big fan of these style of trades, where they acquire someone like Big Z only to buy him out.

This happened to the Nuggets when McDyess refused to come to Denver in the Billups/ Iverson trade and the Nuggets definately were willing to keep him but he acted like he would rather retire.

I am glad though if the Cavs do get big Z. We'll see, I think other teams will make an offer so I guess he can chose a different team if he doesn't want to play behind Shaq.

I think Denver will make an offer to him.

If the Cavs still don't win the NBA title with King James, Caron Butler, Shaq & Mo Williams.. Do you think this is gonna happen?

 

[ProgMatinee]

unfortunately yes.

Butler ?????

I don't think Lebron will go to New York, they are too far away from seriously pursuing a title even with LBJ and another super star.

If he leaves Cleveland, I think Heat, Bulls or (heck) Clippers have a chance since they have better pieces to compete than New York. They are all big markets why not?

 

[LoneWolf]

@Darkseed - LOL, I meant Antawn Jamison.

Nope, even if the Knicks get a guy like Bosh, Amare, Johnson, etc.......I still wouldnt see them having a better chance at a title than Cleveland. Thats what he wants, is a title, he's going to make a ____ load of money wherever he goes, so I dont see New York using "their a big city" mentality to get Lebron, if they dont have better pieces than Cleveland, which they dont, he wont go there. The coach makes a difference too, everyone knows D'antoni teams dont play D.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Cavs get waxed by a poor team w/ Jamisons 1st game as a Cav.. 0-12 shooting.. 2 points.... lmao..

We'll take him in Chicago.

Its one game Bodie. Everone has bad games even awful ones.

Didn't Kobe have like 5 points the other day before he started sitting out a bunch with the ankle?

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Can't I enjoy their loss?..

Heres to more poor nights!!!

Its a long shot but I hope so
