Uh, not so much. When Kobe's $30 million contract is eating nearing half our cap by itself in a couple of years, get back to me. |
Kobe = Rings + $$$

| Quote: | 'Tony Soprano' Stars In Movie LeBron Watched During Knick Presentation
http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/49cf02d7863bcf4bc02774b36b7d61ec-getty-82996009ae007pistons_cavs.jpg
James Gandolfini, star of the cable television series "The Sopranos," appeared in a short film shown to LeBron James at the start of the Knicks' presentation to the free-agent superstar this past Thursday.
Perhaps for the last time, Gandolfini and Edie Falco reprised their roles as Mr. and Mrs. Tony Soprano.
The plot was written so that Tony Soprano hadn't been killed off in the final episode after all. He was wearing a beard and living with his wife in the witness protection program. Tony told Carmela he had an important friend coming to town who needed a place to stay. The friend's name was LeBron James.
Carmela found the perfect location for a man of James' stature in midtown Manhattan, at a location known as Madison Square Garden.
The look on James' face indicated that he was immersed in the show. The Knicks knew that James was a fan of the hit HBO series. |

LOL this is pathetic. The Knicks might as well just get down on their knees one by one and blow him. I hope he doesn't sign with the Knicks just because of how idiotic the Knicks would look. |

if he signed w/the knicks, there'd be a honeymoon period, i'm sure. but it's after the honeymoon. dude has to AT LEAST make it to the finals. he has that pressure, regardless of whateve team he ends up on.
if lbj ended up in ny, just image the backlash if lbj doesn't make it to the finals after this fa season

|
|
| Quote: | Cavaliers Parody Knicks, Heat In Video Made For LeBron
In an animated video the Cavaliers showed LeBron James in their meeting Saturday, everything from Pat Riley's hair to James Dolan's reputation as a heavy-handed owner was parodied.
In one scene, an owner named James Colan continuously chides a general manager named Denny Welsh for speaking out of turn.
"Be quiet," the character repeats, "you're not authorized to speak."
The feature has James walking through his own life, running into billionaire Warren Buffett who tells James that he made his fortune in Omaha, not New York or Los Angeles.
The Buffett character tells James: "You don't choose home, home chooses you."
The story ends with a 75-year-old James telling the young James of present day: "You've always made the right choices and this time will be no different."
The cost to make the video was $300,000. |

LeBron needs to stay in Cavs so he will be able to use the no-quality-support excuse until he retires.
Once he teams up with an all star, he's running out of excuse and LeChoke is gonna lose all endorese. |
