LeBron James is going to be a free agent in 2010 when his contract expires. The New York Knicks are making big changes by trading their two biggest franchise players,Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford to make space and attract King James over to New York in 2010. Is it possible? Will LeBron make a move to Madison Square Garden?
The probability of him moving to New York is about 60%. Reasons for a possible move, 1.Knicks under new coach Mike D' Antoni look like they ready for change to work towards a team that can win "multiple chanpionships",which is one of the key criteria LeBron is looking for in his team. 2. LeBron will be the franchise player of a reputable organisation and will expect a higher pay.
However I do feel that LeBron should not move to New York. Quote from Charles Barkley "It will be more significant if LeBron stays in Cleveland and wins a championship there than in New York as he is born in Cleveland".
Well,then what would make the King stay? Firstly the Cleveland Cavaliers have to show that they are a serious title contender and would have to make it to the finals again this year. Secondly, no slip ups in the team(no injuries or game deciding mistakes). Thirdly, increase his pay.
