They're both the same frame, Gasol is 7' 250, Garnett is 6'11" 253 and Garnett is clearly the better player than Gasol. And what the hell does Webber being a "losing player" have to do with whether or not he's the most skilled big man since Dream? Get outta here with that nonsense trying to condition the choices.

What about you're ridiculous assertion that the Magic aren't a good defensive team, when in fact they are the BEST defensive team?

I didn't say they weren't a good defensive team, but it's not like shutting down Gasol was something they had much hope of doing, especially with Kobe dropping 30 every night.

You wanna cite WHY the are the best defensive team? That based on points allowed or what? Cause I can tell you right now they aren't.

On topic: I picked Jersey. Jersey covers everything except being able to give him a Team USA member right away. However, with the first draft pick(possibly) and Devin Harris, the Nets could wind up in a very favorable situation regarding sign and trades. I could see them packaging Lee and Harris in a sign and trade for someone awesome. Also, not getting the first draft pick could be a blessing in disguise. Without the pressure of having to pass on John Wall, they could wind up with the top PF in the draft, have him be a BEAST and with Harris, Bron, Draft Pick and Brook, they'd have a serious, serious squad from jump.

Plus, that owner is so rich, I could see him wooing Lebron with visions of grandeur. "You want to be a billionaire? Allow me to teach you...bwah ha ha ha ha"

So yeah, I think Jersey. Shoot, if I were Bron, I might go to Jersey/Brooklyn. In two/three years, you might be having your cake and eating it too, getting what you could have gotten out of Chicago and New York(manhattan).

I picked New York for the same reasons TMagic said. NY also has a pair of 2nd round picks. I also expect them to trade or buy a first round pick. They're not in a bad position at all.

I could see: Rodriguez, Douglas, Gallo, Chandler, Walker, House (D'antoni loves him) all coming back. Throw in a couple of rookies and that's enough to have a decent supporting cast. Then of course we don't know what happens to David Lee or Eddy Curry. There's still a chance Chris Paul could be made available as well.

Also, those guys didn't have the size/bulk to play center like Gasol does now, except if they went with a small lineup. Gasol can play the 4 or the 5 equally well, depending on the matchup.

Webber mentally week because of a mistake he made when he was 20? Because 20 year olds have everything wire tight at all times.

New Yorker tweets on Prez Ruben Diaz Jr.'s page: Change boro name to LeBronx for LeBron James!

Yes, somehow that is actually a real article, a real story the DN felt it had to report on.

Doesnt "Le" means "The" in some language???

Either way this is stupid and like a quote in the article says, "this boro is bigger than one person" its soo much history involving "The Bronx"

Nobody is saying that.

If Lebron wants the big city life then moving to New York, Chicago, or LA would be the smart move. However, you guys aren't using that line of thought; you're claiming that if he goes to New York he'll somehow become a much bigger star like it's 1935 and people outside of New York have to wait 3 weeks for news.
