…… I’m not even sure they know how fucked they really are. They’ve basically fallen to the back of the pack in the Lebron race to teams like Chicago, Miami, Cleveland, and my dark horse Washington. The appeal to play in New York isn’t like the Yankees. Not even close..

The Knicks have room for two max contracts and a fan base that wants something now. Unfortunately, it would behoove them to not do a DAMN thing this year if they don’t get Lebron. They aren’t getting  D. Wade. Bosh wants to play with Wade or Lebron, and everyone else out there won’t help you win a championship. They are in the running to sign Joe Johnson. That’s great. Joe Johnson and A’mare Stoudemire (who will resign with Phoenix) isn’t going to get you shit. All other combinations out there, aren’t going to get you shit.

There really isn’t much hope here. At the end of the day you get a sense that the Knicks just aren’t carrying enough clout with MSG and the Big Apple as their big sell. I think the Knicks would be making a huge huge huge mistake if they signed players not named James, Wade, or Bosh to big contracts. It’d be Allan Houston all over again. Their best course of action is to run a shit pie team out there, draft well and go after Carmelo and somebody else.

Either way, when Lebron inks elsewhere it’s going to be a sad sad day in New York.
