Here Comes the 3 Horse

by Tommy Dee on June 29th, 2010 at 7:55 pm

Just listening to 1050 ESPN Radio and they reported Broussard and Stein saying “Lebron leaning towards Cleveland.”

Got it.

  • TJPry

    by then end of the night espn will be reporting lebron is leaning towards signing with Olympiakos

  • donnie walsh

    Broussard’s sources just reported Lebron is signing with the Flint Tropics…more details to follow

  • AlexMSG

    When pressed further, Chris Broussard finally admiited his sources to be Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck.

  • itzyung1

    Oh My God ESPN…FIRE THAT IDIOT..
    I Can do what he is doing….Look

    This Just In Sources Close To Lebron’s Hairdresser’s With Knowledge Of Her Thinking Says Lebron Actually Prefers Boobie Gibson Over Dwayne Wade.

  • Starks

    Knick fans, those of you who panick with every BS rumor that comes out…I have only seen a few here, Tommy D included that actually are not worried and know what the real deal is…..

    now do you see the likes of Chrissy B. and shills like him have no idea, they are speculating at best just like fans and the rest of the media…it has been very well known in over the last 14+ months that LeBrons top choices are 1-NYK 2-Staying in Cleveland….his preferences is to go to NY because it would mean a very real BILLION over the next 5+ years….yes BILLIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN…..

    thats what people have overlooked this whole time, talking about the fans, LeBron and NY combined = more money then people count, GLOBAL BRAND MONEY.

    Like I have been saying, no way he goes to Miami, no way he goes to CHI because CHI has a limit to his fame and money, in NY there is no limit. matter of fact all he has to do is win 1 maybe 2 championships and he will be golden… easily done with him and another stud player in the mix, something he has never had….

    Trust me on this Knick fans, dont panic, you do not know me from a hole in a wall but trust me when I say LeBron will be a Knick.

  • brookdon

    I personally wouldnt mind him staying in Cleveland. Anything but Miami or Chicago……

  • Mucha

    LOL

  • dino of syracuse

    Wow, I heard that, too…but with Starbury’s, Shanxi Zhongyu, as a darkhorse!

  • JeffM729

    LeBron stays in Cleveland, but signs with the Browns as a tight end.

  • Infidel55

    Everyone knows that he is going to Spain to play with Rubio.

  • clyde fan

    Lebron coming to NY to play for the Gauchos.

  • brookdon

    Last 24 Hours

  • feramorz

    What a clown.

  • bartnyk

    Ok Chris Paul is the best PG in the NBA and LBJ is the best player so the only way some of you would move Gallo is if it guaranteed us one of them, here’s why that makes NO sense.

    Derron Williams is probably the second best PG in the NBA can we trade Gallo and EC for D Will?? NO because hes not good enough to trade for a guy like D Will or Brandon Roy or lots of players because he’s not that good period.

    To say there is no way you move Gallinari unless its for CP3 or LBJ is ridiculous because Gallo is not enough to even get some of the second tier guys in the NBA.

    You can’t even trade Gallo for Brandon Jennings or Brook Lopez.

  • grahambo86

    Seems like JA Adande isn’t sold on the Knicks being shut out:

    “Time 2 log off twitter. Ignorance level rising. Give up $10M/yr for a ring? Mad. Sq. Garden +Wrigley Field overrated? #cmonfolksgetreal”

    People are calling MSG overrated and he says get real..lol

    ESPN is outta whack!

  • JaymanJD

    To me what is the point in staying in Cleveland. I get it he is a home town hero and that is meaningful especially if you can bring a championship there. However, Financially that team is in a bind unless they could somehow sign a trade Jamison or Mo williams away. MAybe toronto fearing they get nothing would take Jamison in exchange for bosh. Other then that the Cavs have the least roster flexability of all the teams. I think if Lebron does decide to stay in Cleveland he signs a 3 year deal. But that being said why sign a 3 year deal and go through cap hell with the team wasting the better part of your youth only to leave 3 years older and probably with no titles. If you start getting up there closing in on 30 those multiple titles you are talking about start becoming a pipedream.

    Lebron should wait and see who wins the cap spaceathon and then evaluate the situation:

    Scenerio 1:
    If Miami, Chicago, New York, and the Net are all able to sign 2 max free agents the decision should be based on who has the best pieces to compliment Lebron’s game and who will be closer to a championship in 2 to 3 years.

    Right now in this scenerio Chicago gives you the best shot. Rose, Noah, Deng, Taj Gibson is a good core to start with. THere is really no bases for believing the knicks are better at this point. Miami has Wade and Beasley but not much else. And the Nets do not yet have enough cap space for two free agents.

    Scenerio 2:
    If any of the teams is able to have enough cap space to sign 3 free agents one would be a fool not to try to make that work. Think what the knicks did with three star players in Frazier, Pearl, and Willis. 3 stars is better then 2 alway look at Boston. So Who ever does that gives you the best chance to win.

    In this scenerio it seems Miami may be the only team with a legitmate chance of accomplishing this. Miami simply has to get some one to bit on Beasley. Now Beasley has issues but there is no denying his talent and he is very young. If Riley can get assurance that Bosh and Lebron will team up with Wade I think he does it. Now the Knicks could do it if they were willing to package Curry with either Gallo or CHandler. We know they would probably do it with Chandler but why would any team do that when they know the knicks are desprate and could possibly given in to giving up Gallo.

  • jg1170

    If you think all this speculation back and forth is bad?

    In 1 day 3 hours and less than 40 minutes and it’s gonna get worse.

    And expect MSG to add to it, 12:00 AM Thursday “Knicks Night Live”.

    What are they going to say in that 1/2 hour that hasn’t already been said?

    Are the Knicks gonna make a live pitch on TV being that it will officially be FA signing season?

  • akdrum

    remember – its not about the best players available but the players that play the best together…
    LebRON IS OVERRATED…if he came here it would be like THE SHOW entourage…no way…see ya…
    wade can’t win without shaq- Bosh is another No D Lee- give me guys that are hungry no baggage- no family member sleeping w a teamate-players w the eye of the tiger and you’ll see and be happy- bRING IN THE GREEK GUYS!!!
    Oh…I actually believe the rumor that Chandler is being shopped and Dolan wants to clean house….that pot bust was a big no-no…

  • MrDbo

    Everyone is wrong. Lebron is going to Own, GM, Coach and Play for the expansion/return Providence Steamrollers. You heard it here first!

  • PipeDreamin

    HOW IS THIS GUY STILL REPORTING FOR ESPN?!?!?

  • jg1170

    @MrDbo

    LOL @ the steamrollers.

  • Mucha

    Adande is even worse than Broussard.

    He’s the face of stupidity and intellectual mediocrity. Literally. When I first saw Broussard and Adande on ESPN I was like “Daymmn! Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne!”

  • Sergio

    Chris Broussard makes me miss Peter Vescey. Where did ESPN find this idiot? He’s just HORRIBLE! He has no concept of the salary cap at all.

  • Mucha

    I mean I don’t know if Adande’s worse than Broussard – but they are both terrible regardless

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    come on yall
    yall lettin these fools play yall an then get upset.

    they have a job to do there job has nothing to do with facts or truth
    it’s all what they are thinking just like how i type my thoughts..

    they just trying to earn a CHECK

  • LB2NYplz

    these rumors dont even phase me

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    espn reporters are the looney tunes of reporting

  • losknicks13

    If Lebron doesn’t sign with the knicks I hope that Lebron ends up in Cleveland. That way he can be stuck with a mediocre team with a lifetime assistant as a coach, while the knicks build a championship team and we can bounce the Cavs out of the playoffs every year.

    All everybody says is that he doesn’t fit here or he doesn’t fit there, it doesn’t matter he will go where he wants to go and more power to him. The knicks have put themselves in a position to improve and at this point after 10 yrs of crap an improvement is all I can hope for.

    Chris Broussard? What a duff how did this guy even get into journalism. Sources? I wish we can could find out who these sources are because every day its a new source I’ve seen better sources from TMZ at least they get proof. Please no JJ last time we had a JJ we had to give away 2 first rounds picks just to get rid of his contract

  • MrDbo

    I get that they have a job to do, but they are starting to look very silly. I have never seen anything like this. Guys acting like they know Lebron, speak to him/sit inside his head, say he is definitely going to one team, just to do a complete 360 the next day. This just feels like amateur hour…The national media looks incompetent and trying to milk this for all it’s worth.

  • Hydr0

    Quick Question:

    I know that the projected salary cap is 56.1, but does anyone know when the official number will come out? I assume it must be before July 8. Anyone know the exact date? Just curious

    Oh, and one thing all these guys have going for them is if Lebron does decide on the Knicks, they can all say that it was a surprise and an unexpected move. It’s just set up that way.

  • clyde fan

    With each rumor I am actually gaining confidence that the Knicks have a great shot.

    I think I would be more worried at this point if these “reporters” were saying the Knicks were a lock.

  • cms9675

    I think everybody is beginning to see what this is becoming and I think jg1170 is right it is gonna get worse. Way worse. Not because msg will do their little lebron please show, but because at 12:01 everybody will be rumored to be speaking with everybody at the same time. Doesnt matter if you are standing right next to lebron or wade or bosh etc. there will be some report out there that at that very moment he was sitting down with some owner of some team hammering out details. By the end of this week we will all wish this over. If you think the where’s Bret Favre going thing was bad then you just wait. I personally hope the knicks go after bosh and Gay. Leave the rest of the NBA to slobber over lebron while they go in the through the back door and steal a couple prizes. Just do it quick, because im tired of every time i look for some coverage of the knicks his damn name pops up. Go Knicks!

  • mustarda

    somebody has to tell him this “sources” don’t exist, this is guy is a threat to society!!!

  • clyde fan

    I just got a feeling that it’s going to be either the Knicks or Nets in the end.

  • brookdon

    @ Hydro

    July 1-7 is a time period inwhich the league calculates the Salary cap for the next season. The official number comes out July 8th, the first day players can officially sign a deal.

  • CircleLimit4

    New conspiracy theory:

    Lebron and his crew are trying to make New York seem like the least likely scenario so he won’t be booed quite as much when he leaves Cleveland and chooses NY. Cavs fans will be like “Oh well at least he didn’t make a dream team in Chicago or Miami, he went to the lowly Knicks.”

  • bb_dot

    maybe this is the strategy. Once you mention every possible team LBJ could go to as a “lock” at some point in your reporting, you can then later claim you were right…

    I always thought and still think that LeBron has the best overall (business/long term success) options in NYC and will end up here. If he doesn’t see it that way, so be it. If he follows the advice of his posse or prefers a ‘dream team’ setup in Miami over the challenges in NYC, he’ll be better off not playing here anyway. I wont be too depressed at that point…

  • jg2112

    …. “AND, any the real reason he is dissing Cleveland is because Donyell Marshall didn’t got signed. So World Wide Wesley is working to get a package of LeBron, Donyell Marshall, Boobie Gibson and Peter McCoey (as the teams personal waterboy) to any team”.

  • bob go knicks

    has it been proved that hes wrong?or do you want every reporter to say hes going to the KNICKS?

  • Ftingue

    This is ridiculous

  • Hydr0

    thanks
