According to http://lebronjames.com/ it's the bulls.

Can't blame him, who wouldn't want to play with Derrick Rose? Best PG for the next 10 years.

With their hang times combined, we'll see double alley oops and unstoppable air time.

How much you gettin for steering people to that site?

Do the dot game, his eye is shaped like the bull's bull logo eye. you move your cursor to activate the dots then hover over the orange one to keep them in place.

The same guy who took the Cavs to the finals with Eric Snow at point couldn't get the Knicks to the playoffs with Bosh/Amare?

While the original point was a joke, there's a huge difference between the East in 2007 and 2011.

In 2007 the Cavs played a Wizards team missing its two best players, a mediocre Nets team, and a good but old and far from great Pistons team.

In 2011 he'll have to play All Star teams in Miami and Chicago, an aging but good Celtics team, a Hawks team that isn't winning a chip but can wear you down in the first or second round, and a first round team that is at least decent, especially if he doesn't get the #1 seed.

Regardless of where Lebron goes, he's facing the good teams in the East and a dominate Lakers team in the Finals.

Born and bred in Chicago, and comments like this, just make us look bad.

It's just your typical PUI (posting under the influence).

I thought so. Sorry for asking, but I've heard crazier things today. I had to make sure.

The country is in the worst economic state it's been in most of our lifetimes. The same kind of tried and trusted people were making bad investments and misjudging markets to get the place like that in the first place, let's not act like it's a perfect science to this.

Don't let that get in the way of perfectly good cheerleading for NY.

Was going to answer these posts, but thankfully I'm not the only one with a shred of basic economic understanding...

Um, no. Not even close. Just because you're in finance doesn't mean you're one of the jackasses on Wall Street/in big banking that's cheating, screwing over their employees and giving themselves golden parachutes. I can assure you that no Wall Street CEO's were consulted for that research.

Thank you. There is a huge difference between financial analysts, specialists within a particular financial field(like sports, advertising, sales, entertainment, charities) and BANKERS :

I mean good lord. Yes, Dolan walked into Lebron's office with Bernie Madoff and the former CEO of Lehmann Bros

I can absolutely tell you why Dolan believes Lebron will earn more in New York.

Dolan owns the basketball team in New York.

har dee har and a yuck yuck, but you ignored half of the statement for the sake of your joke. I'll spell it out: can you outline the details of his presentation?

It's pointless. No one knows how accurate the report is. You cannot prove it one way or the other.

for which the rebuttal is...

Which is really what all the Knicks fans in this thread have said. That the people who know about this stuff have mixed feelings. It's the non Knicks fans who have tried to act like they know that New York won't make him more money.

And it's not even about being a Knicks fan. It's about being a fan of informed opinion. I don't know how Lebron's financial potential shifts with a move to New York, but I know I don't know. People are saying stuff that basically amounts to "he already has a sneaker deal in Cleveland, you think they're just going to give him a bigger one because he's in NY?" or some variation of it. It's just shocking, sad and funny that people are comfortable speaking with that level of ignorance on a topic.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

It always cracks me up when people who don't have millions of dollars act like they know the ins and outs of how big money works. Not that Lebron is even big money. He's more like medium money. Dolan, Prok and Bloomberg are big money, and they hire tried and trusted business specialists to know how to irrigate the flows of money depending on the details of the resources.

When people argue against it, they literally display no knowledge on the subject, citing anecdotal and peripheral information mostly gleaned from shoddy internet sources. I don't think there's a single person on this board who can explain how or why Dolan believes Lebron will earn at least 30% more in NYC, or why a championship would be worth 60mil more than in Cleveland. Nor can you give a detailed rebuttal of that reasoning.

If anyone can, please, please put that info up here, so the armchair business men have something as the base for their sarcasms.

As soon as you put up info that shows any Knick in getting a 30% increase in their worth after going there, lol.

You internet bumpkins...NY'ers know everything worth knowing. EVERYTHING.

You're directly contradicting what I just said. I know that I'm not a financial expert. Please read above post and you'll see that your sarcasm doesn't fit, despite your efforts to shoehorn it in. We all don't know.
