Lebron has shown that he can lead a team into the playoffs. This would be a huge signing. Offtopic: According to espn.com, the Knicks are planning on putting Marbury on waivers by the end of the week. Can one theknicksblog experts please explain what exactly this means? If another team signs him, would they still have to buyout his contract for the full $21 mil as some commenters on espn.com suggested? If so, why didn't the Knicks trade him for a 5th round draft pick, and offered to pay his full contract? I'm sure teams would've bitten. Wouldn't that have made about 100% more sense?
