gift_of_game Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 ^if we went by sheer $ alone (as in pera-pera lang ang laban), the Cavs have the biggest chance of signing the King since they can outbid anyone for his services. any max contract from any other team tops out in the 120+ mil/5 year range (under present league rules and the CBA). on the other hand, the Cavs---if they decide to pony up the dough---can come close to coughing up a package in the 140+ mil/6 years range. ultimately, the choice to be made may rely on which club has the pieces in place to help him compete for a championship. assuming that Ferry doesn't make any earth-shaking moves over the next few, LBJ's as good as gone. and it will be the two NY area teams competing for his services (or at least, that's how it looks right now). I'd say that the Nets probably have a better chance to get it done given the players they have (Devin Harris, an old VC, some promising young guys) and the flexibility that management has on its hands. the Knicks just have way too many misfit/overpriced pieces right now that I don't really see them moving forward without Donnie Walsh holding a couple of fire sales. but we'll see how the new regime handles its business and maybe, just maybe, Mike D'Antoni can make bball in the Big Apple fun again.

mazinger Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) what a mess isiah thomas did to the knicks........ :thumbsdownsmiley: Edited July 9, 2008 by mazinger Quote Link to comment
gift_of_game Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 that's true master B as there has been talk of reworking the current CBA in the near future. just not too sure if owners will let that one pass though since it's one of the few leverages small and medium market teams have when resigning their own FAs.

bubuy Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 i think they should just increase luxury tax from the current dollar for dollar to 1:1.5 or something.. hopefully to prevent the big market teams from overspending, well except maybe NY. :upside: Quote Link to comment

denimhead Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 knicks value comes from the Garden .. imagine that big property in the middle of Manhattan .... property value alone might account for 1/4th of the whole teams value .... Quote Link to comment
denimhead Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Tuloy na po ba ang lipat ng New Jersey Nets sa Brooklyn??? Athough close proximity po ang New York and New Jersey mag kaibang state sila dba? So hindi po valid yung 2 teams ng NY city sa NBA for the past decade, until mag move sila dun lang magkakatotoo..... Speaking of storied franchise nasa NY po yung most storied American Sports Franchise, ang New York Yankees, and it rivals Manchester United in terms of worldwide appeal. Peace :thumbsupsmiley: actually new jersey is a funny state ... the southern part identifies itself with philadelphia .. tas the northern part identifies itself with new york ... so in all aspects the nets are a NY team .. their fans are from the same area .. their market share is part of NY .... the football franchises ...NY Giants and NY JEts play across the street from the Nets' stadium ... and teven in hockey the NJ Devils also take a share from the NY market...
