Again, I don't think the talent in Cleveland is awful. They aren't the Lakers (or Celtics, or Magic), but they have a pretty solid group of roleplayers, lacking only a 2nd "big name" player. That's a pretty big piece, sure, but they've tried to bring in guys to help them, most haven't panned out.
There are lots of reasons for him to go to the Knicks, but I think it's far from a sure thing that they'd be able to field a team better than the Cavs are today. They've got
some young guys, none of whom are certain to be a #2 guy on a great team, and they also don't have their lottery pick next season. What they
do have is cap space, but that doesn't always work out for you either.
