Lebron James: where will he be next year?

Everyone from one corner of the NBA world to another is talking about which team will pick up Lebron James. I think the attention is swaying most to side heavier to the New York Knicks than any other team now. The Miami Heat among other contenders have showed interest in him. At the latest in New York the Knicks are trying to swing a mega deal to invite in Amare Stoudamire, Chris Bosh, and King James. That would be quite the buyout of new contracts. Personally I'd like to see Lebron stick with the Cavaliers.

I see Cleveland only getting better with the main attraction staying put. They managed a few good deals in obtaining key acquisitions in overlooked talent, Anthony Parker and reeling in Antawn Jamsion. To left go of Lebron, the Cavs are looking past at least 24 points per game, 8 rebounds, and 5-6 assists per game from their superstar. I'd take a chance on other players where interest may remain and work out a trade. Too valuable too lose is what fans will agree upon in Cleveland.

Right now the Knicks are waiting to hear back from Lebron. That may be a while. He's in no rush to make a decision it appears. Scouting other young NBA talent is what teams rebuilding are doing in the off-season yet it's in New York where they wish to pull the true blockbuster deal. Dwayne Wade is encouraging I'm sure for his team and would be lucky to have strong co-captains beside him such as Lebron and Chris Bosh. I don't think the move will happen any time soon. The Knicks will be speculating for a while and scourging around until a final decision is made and something works to their advantage.
