For those who missed Tony Rice Balls’ interview with former NBA standout and friend of TKB, Eric Snow, it’s well worth the listen. 
I could write a whole post and quote him, but this is why we love digital multi-media. You can listen yourself.
He told Tony that he believes Lebron to NY is “50-50″ which means something to me because other reports have been less than positive. Lebron and Snow were teammates in Cleveland.
19 minutes in:
“…It wouldn’t surprise me either way if he stayed or left. As long as he didn’t sign the extension, it has to be a 50-50 chance…It’s still his decision and you can’t hold anything against because him because I think he’s done more for the city of Cleveland than they’ll ever do for him right now…”
E-Snow, who we look forward to having more on the show, has a book coming out soon about leading high-level performers. We’ll be able to snag some copies as they become available.
It was a big week for TKB Radio as earlier Tony wrapped with Kenny Anderson about Brandon Jennings.
And wasn’t Richard Jefferson sure J. Kidd was signing with the knicks.
I think it’s 50-50 only IF the Cavs don’t make it out of the conference finals.
So no A.I. its time to focus on Eddy he looked good his first game back and if he plays enough mins we win tonight Brook Lopez and guard him.
“which means something to me because other reports have been less than positive.”
So if the opinion isn’t positive it doesn’t mean anything to you? 50-50 isn’t exactly positive, isn’t that neutral? It seems like if 10 people say he isn’t coming people want to ignore it, but when they find someone less convinced either way they twist it to mean yea I think he’s going to sign in NY. LeBron says he’s not going to talk about next summer anymore, I wish the media would follow suit.
The Nets get their first win today.

How many of the next 10 the Knicks win?
I think they win 5 of the next 10…If E-City gives us 12-15 ppg…yeah I know I am pushing it. But teams have scouted for the Du-Du / Lee / Jared factor.
If we see less of them I think it would be possible only if we beat New Jersey tonight…
With this schedule coming up….I am still not sure why they didn’t get A.I in here except for Dolan killing the signing…
Thoughts?
3-8 I think we take down Boston, Sac and NJ
They’ll probably go 2-8 (hey that’s an improvement over 1-9 the 1st 10 games), but my gut is telling me 1-9. The best that could be expected is 3-7, with wins against the Nets and Sacramento (although they’ve been playing much better lately) those other teams would have to collapse which is less likely for the ones that are on their home floor.
Isaiah should have been their draft talent scout and thats it; we’d have had Jennings no doubt..I hope the Nets spanks our Azzez 2day….The team and the admin are a bunch of coochies
I hate to break it to everyone but the Knicks are getting the Free Agent scraps unless Gallo, Chandler, and either Hill or Douglas has a great 2nd half.
Right now the supporting cast looks so bad that even IF (very big IF) the Knicks move Curry/Jeffries and have enough space for 2 MAX contracts that’s still not enough to win a championship.
It’s way more likely that Bosh goes to Cleveland or Miami, Lebron, Wade or Bosh goes to Chicago etc…
Either one will move to a team that is one major piece away from a championship (like Chicago) or one will move (most likely Bosh) to where one of the other two are.
The idea that one of these guys is going to come to NY to be part of a rebuild is so stupid, I can’t even believe it’s being discussed. We couldn’t get Kidd and Hill to come here and they are a year or two away from assisted living.
Our best hope is Amare or Joe Johnson. No one will want Amare nearly as much because of his tendency to get injured, his bad eye, and his lack of defense (something the Knicks don’t care about). Joe Johnson would be a nice pickup, but he’s clearly not a max player. He’s a #3 on a championship caliber team.
