Probably the biggest croc of shit i ever heard.

If this turns out to be true, LeBron is the biggest cock smoker in the NBA and I officially hate him. But as i said above, probably the biggest load of shit i ever heard, so hes still a mad dog.

why would he be stupid enough to do that, cavs fans would be furious

by **Heiks** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 12:16 am

How could someone decide that 6 seasons early? That's bull-shit.

by **Riot** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 1:13 am

A lot of things can change in 6 years. I highly doubt he goes to the New York Knicks but it is really too far ahead to predict. Cavaliers should focus on building a winning team around him so they can convince him to stay forever.

anther worthless rumor from new york.

by **Indy** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 1:29 am

Hey, I can be a New York reporter too!

"LeBron's future son to join Knicks in 2026!"

LeBron 'swears' he plans not to wear a rubber next time he is "gettin' down with his boo" and high level source has given us the information that it will be a boy by the name of Jerious James. Jerious will command a high salary, but based on Isiah Thomas' math, they should have the cap room to sign him in 2026. Isiah commented on the situation "This is a happy day for the Knicks franchise, we plan on building around our future franchise cornerstone, Jerious, for the next 20 years and by that time we will have a team that is perfectly tailor made to compliment him" Jerious could not be reached for comment at this time.

It's a very realistic proposal, as it's been noted in several places that Lebron's deal with Nike has added bonuses if he's playing for a big-market team i.e. the Knicks.

What is this shit?!
Even lebron won't help the knicks,they suck so much it hurts...
and if he'd do that wade will be officialy the best player in the game,cuz' kobe will be old and shit and no-one is goo when in the knicks,look at rancis and marbury...

by **runthestreetz** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 5:37 am

i don't give credence to stuff like that

of course brons got that rumoured deal with nike in NY, and he aims to be a billionaire.

but 6 years is long time, a LOT can change in that time. what about injuries? (don't forget Sports Illustrated currently trying to fry/jinx Bron, Melo and Wade all at the same time.)

Most idiotic post ever.

In regards to this, I can see something like this happening, though I have no idea how this article could be credible this far in advance.

My respect for LeBron is reaching lower and lower proportions after that stunt he pulled in Rochester.

by **dada** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 7:06 am

I dont see whats the big deal if he switches cities, so many players do that. Yes Cleveland fans would love to see him be a Cav for life but boohoo if he isnt, live with it. Going to the Cavs at the time he was drafted wasnt necessarily a dream move for any rookie out there.

That said, the chances of him joining the Knicks is just as good as him joining any other big market team. He could go play an away game in NY today and if someone said something he didnt like he may decide never to join that team in his career. Cmon, 2012? You dont have to put much thought into figuring out they are reporting out their anus.

New York? Come on, we all know Bron would look much better wearing number 23 in purple and gold. :cheeky:

The guy tattoos a Nike slogan on his leg and you guys are surprised he'd go where the money's at?

Yeah you're right, its not like he's making max money.

I don't think anybody here really believes this report, so nobody is surprised.

by **---** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 9:50 am

players such as Vin Baker and the selections of Rendaldo Balkman

Rendaldo is probably the high-level source

by **funk99** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 10:20 am

That is ages away. But he'd go there just for the money. The cavs would want him to be a cav for life but i dont think thats gunna happen

by **-BHZMAFIA-** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 11:19 am

Am I the one that said it seems like every players suppose to go to the Knicks, but 90% of them never go? I don't expect this crap to happen, especially since its six seasons ahead. What if the Cavs win like 3 or 4 championships between those 6 years, then will he still try to leave?

by **Dro** on Sat Oct 21, 2006 12:19 pm

I don't expect this to happen, because it will affect his legacy. When you think of the best players of all time, who are 3 main guys who stand out? Michael Jordan, lifetime Chicago Bull (the Wizards stint...it never happened). Larry Bird, lifetime Celtic. Magic, lifetime Laker. Now Cleveland isn't as prestigious a city as Chicago, Boston or LA, but it will do

Classic

Is it true that James' Nike deal doubles to $200mil if he goes to a big market city? If so, theres 100mil good reasons why he would leave...

Anything is possible but it seems way too early for any kind of confirmation that LeBron intends to opt out and join the Knicks. If his intention was to leave Cleveland it seems odd to sign any kind of multiyear deal; it's not as though the Knicks will be a long way under the cap in a few years' time. It's also worth noting that Vescey's report claims LeBron will opt out after 2011/2012, which seems unlikely since his contract expires in 2010/2011. If the rumour is bogus, which it certainly seems to be, it's a particularly poorly constructed one since it seems little research has gone into it.

Again, that's not to say LeBron could never leave the Cavs but the whole idea of him deciding to join the Knicks in 2011 or 2012 and signing a four year extension in the meantime seems a bit farfetched.
