...Lebron is not expected to be a Knickerbocker 'til 2010 season pop. A lot of us in the East Coast think he's a gonner. The Knicks have plenty of time/money to bring in the right pieces around Lebron too. Cleveland's in trouble. lol
...the Lakers have a great shot of repeating but it will be very, very difficult. You Laker fans have to understand that the key for the championship repeat lies with Phil Jackson coming back. There is speculation that he may ride out into the sunset. Then what???
I understand that 2010 is Lebron's free agent year. I still think he may bypass on the NY deal. But, they do have the most money.
Phil has to come back in order for us to repeat. Jenie Buss isn't letting her man go anywhere. He'll be sleeping on the couch is if tries to bounce.
Let's not forget about Orlando. The have a good chance of getting back to the finals just as anyone else. They have a good team. They need to not depend on the 3's so much, but their right there.
