He should have his own TV channel NOW...

I want to see his primetime special "LeBron of Love" where 30 GM's compete for LeBron's services while under the same roof.

Knick fans who are counting on LeBron James to join the hapless team after his contract with the
Cleveland Cavaliers expires next year had better have a Plan B. The hoops star's mother, Gloria,
told Page Six it's not happening. "He's a hometown boy," she said. LeBron grew up in Akron, Ohio,
but his home now is Cleveland. The Jameses were at the Monkey Bar for the book party Graydon
Carter threw for "Shooting Stars" (Penguin Press), the story of LeBron's team at St. Vincent-St. Mary
HS and their coach, Dru Joyce II. -- NY Post[/code]

will LBJ be a black stereotype and let his mom decide for him?

The team's restricted free agent situations (David Lee and Nate Robinson) remain unresolved and
as we near the weekend, it may move into next week. The way I understand it, Nate has to wait on
David. In fact, from what I've been told by multiple sources, Nate would have signed a one-year
deal weeks ago if the Knicks wanted him to sign. We've suggested here that the reason the team
put Robinson on hold was because of their pursuit of Sessions or another guard. I'm told this isn't
entirely accurate. While it is true the team has spent the summer seeking upgrades in the
backcourt, what has held Walsh up for most of the second half of the summer (after the Jason Kidd
flirtation ended) is Lee. His agent, Mark Bartelstein, has scoured the league looking for workable
sign-and-trade scenarios. They were not looking to accept a one-year deal until all possibilities were
exhausted, which is about where we are right now. -- Newsday [/code]

Ramon Sessions will make $3.9 million during the 2010-11 season, which tempted Donnie Walsh to
deviate from his cap space strategy.

"Probably for a night, yeah," he said. "But then I thought it out, looked at my numbers and thought,
'No, I don't think we should do this because I don't think this will help us as much as I'd like. It
might this year, but in the long run it may not help us as much."

Walsh made it clear to Sessions' agent in August that he would only be able to sign the point guard
if he was able to clear another salary for 2010 off his books.

Minnesota ended up signing Sessions to an offer sheet. It is hard to believe the Wolves keep Jonny
Flynn, Ricky Rubio and Sessions long-term.

"At some point I'll check with (David Kahn)," Walsh said. "My feeling is he won't trade right away.
He'll probably wait a while."[/code]

and our 15th man on the roster (once Lee and Robinson signs) is my n*gga Buckwheat from our summer league roster

[code]
Donnie Walsh announced Friday that forward Warren Carter has been signed by the Knicks as a
free agent. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Carter, 6-9, 220-pounds,
averaged 5.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 13.9 minutes as a member of the Knicks entry in the 2009
NBA Summer League presented by EA Sports last month. The Dallas, TX-native spent the last two
seasons playing overseas in Spain and Turkey following his four-year collegiate career at the
University of Illinois.[/code]

:agreement6:

You and I were on the same boat as to Carter. Every SL game he played he was all over the court. He reminded me a lot of Balkman with an actual J (not that "J" Balkman).

He's high energy and plays D...a non-guaranteed invite, how can you go wrong?

New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations Donnie Walsh announced today that
free agent guard Gabe Pruitt has been signed to a contract.

Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Pruitt, 6-4, 170-pounds, has career averages of 2.0 points and 7.4 minutes in 62 games over two
NBA seasons with the Boston Celtics. The Los Angeles, CA-native was selected by Boston, following
his junior season at the University of Southern California, in the second round (32nd overall) of the
2007 NBA Draft.

Pruitt averaged 2.1 points in 15 games as a rookie in 2007-08, but was inactive for the Celtics
during the playoffs and NBA Finals. He averaged 2.0 points and 7.8 minutes in 47 games last
season and appeared in four games for the Celtics in the first two rounds of the 2009 NBA Playoffs.[/code]

hmm, maybe Pruit and Carter just got non-guarantee invites to training camp

unless they got a 2 for 1 trade coming up

Born_Loser said: hmm, maybe Pruit and Carter just got non-guarantee invites to training camp unless they got a 2 for 1 trade coming up

im figuring they are "non-guaranteed". both are worth the shot. maybe we catch lightning in a bottle somewhere. doubtful, but it doesnt hurt to bring these guys in.

^
plus it dont hurt both are not even in their mid-20's yet

I'm cool with Carter, but Pruitt was a good training camp invite/pick up. Always liked his game.

Knicks bring in G/F Sun Yue for training camp invite,

oh well, guess i'll watch the Jets since my G-Men don't play for another 3 or so hours

[code]The Knicks have signed point guard Sun Yue to a partly guaranteed contract.

Yue's agent, Charles Bonsignore, told the New York Times of the signing.

The 6'9" point guard was drafted by the Lakers in the second round of the 2007 NBA Draft.[/code]

it's official now...maybe more international next year?

Wow... good news out of left field. Been on duke. Sad that LA cut him, but they have so many guards.

I think our PG situation is as set as it will be. He's def a poor Chinese man's Shaun Livingston/Nick Calathes, but dude could have a nice niche in the system, plus he has height, quickness (not necessarily speed), and can see over most defenders. He's raw but who's to say that he can't make strides. He is the starting PG on China's national team... and he's only 20 or so. I can def live with this signing... :dancingcool:

Eddy Curry is back at the MSG Training Center, we're told, after completing an offseason
committed to conditioning and nutrition. Curry has been on his own since the start of
September because both trainers, Tommy Weatherspoon and Jerry Powell, had contracts with
him that expired on Aug. 31. The finished product will be officially unvieled on Sept. 29, the
first day of training camp, but teammates are curious to see him run in pre-camp scrimmages.

Alan Hahn crossed paths with Danilo Gallinari at Madison Square Garden and the second-year
forward reported that he is feeling 100% healthy.

Gallinari struggled through his rookie season with back and leg pain from a bulging disk. A minor
surgical procedure was performed to relieve pressure on the nerve causing the condition.[/code]
