Reaction to Lebron potentially becoming a Knick

Since becoming a more functional team the New York Knicks have their focus set on future goals. In recent weeks they pulled off a 4-player trade. Sending Mardy Collins and Zach Randolph to Los Angeles in exchange the Knicks received Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas. This move was done after careful deliberation yet I don't feel was smart. Nevertheless, the Knicks are finding ways to win behind new coach D'Antoni. Now they have their eyes set on one of the biggest stars in the NBA. With the contract a lingering question for Lebron James in Cleveland all of a sudden now a team wants to stake claim to him. Hold on a minute, the superstar has made no commitments to leave any time soon.

For Lebron to be apart of the Knicks organization for some reason doesn't seem right. I know New York is making strives to reaching a new level of success, but they are no where near a championship caliber team. That's who King James wants to represent so for him to already be a near definite for the Knicks is preposterous. Last night in a classic bout in MSG which the Cavs came out on top Lebron dropped 26 points like it was nothing. Much jubilation was in the air in the Big Apple with all the rumors about Lebron James becoming a free agent on July 1, 2010 with him being ripe for the picking. Spike Lee was present as usual for the game which resulted 119-101 Knicks loss. He displayed his approval for the potential acquisition by wearing a pair of Lebron's new basketball shoes.

Being such a long time off from free agency I don't know why the Knicks are concentrating so much on the potential deal rather than making the playoffs their no. 1 priority. They have got off to a fairly good start with a 7-7 record. Still the franchise has much work to be done before earning the title of a contender again. Adding a few more bigs can help give the team a big lift, enough to clinch the playoffs. At the moment they sure aren't worthy enough to fit Lebron into their lineup. Restructure and leadership is what New York needs. Having a proven new coach definitely provides a fresh beginning. In two years, no matter what is offered his way Lebron James should remain a Cavalier.
