Basketball: Lebron Off to the Knicks? Major Trades Shake Up the League!

The National Basketball Association could be in for a shake up when LeBron James comes of contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the end of the 09 season. It’s no secret that James wants to be the greatest basketball player to ever walk the earth and to do that he has to win a championship.

This could become a reality with talk that he is being sought after by the struggling New York Knicks franchise and is looking even more plausible with the November 21st trade of Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Los Angeles Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley. A couple of days earlier the Knicks also dealt their top player in recent seasons Jamal Crawford to the Golden State Warriors for forward Al Harrington leaving only the bench warming Stephon Marbury still at the Knicks with a sizable contract to get rid of. Joe Dumars seems to have played his cards right though as Marbury's $21 million contract becomes void at the end of this season also. (LeBron James)

So how does trading pretty much all of the Knicks frontline players' away help LeBron win a championship? He can't do it with the likes of Nate Robinson, David Lee and Chris Duhan alone can he? No he can't but the Knicks will have freed up so much cap space with the departure of Marbury and the recent trades, they can afford at least one other top 30 player. Not coincidently Dywane Wade is also of contact next year along with Chris Bosh who all signed three year contacts in the hope of at least two of them joining each other at the same franchise. Right now, this looks highly likely in New York. German former NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki is off contact at that time too and has surely had enough of his up and down Dallas Mavericks.

Will LeBron's championship dream become a reality in the near future? It's highly likely and just a matter of time. Which other NBA superstar joins him at Madison Square Garden in the Big Apple remains up in the air.

LeBron at the Garden would really be something. Although I have heard some talk that he might go to the new franchise in Brooklyn. I forget if the Nets are supposed to be moving to Brooklyn, or there's a brand-new team that's going to be located there. One of the owners is a rap star who's supposed to be friends with LeBron. In any case, I think LeBron wants to play in New York, and it will probably happen.

Good article. MJ is/was my favorite and James will be next to him, but even though James is only 23 i have a bad feeling that he will end up like Malone,Stockton,Barkley,Kemp etc. Guys who didn't win the Championship! KG and Allen barely did it. My opinion is that he needs to change the team, asap.

It will never happen because after this year they will throw the city of Cleveland in as a signing bonus, along with a zillion dollars to keep him in Cleveland.
