Numerous reports (including CBS Sports.com) have NBA superstar LeBron James heading to the New York Knicks.
On Thursday, James is expected to announce his decision where he will play basketball as he has been going around to various NBA teams recently.
James is a free agent and there has been a lot of speculation on where he will wind up for the 2010-11 NBA season and beyond. Many felt he would team up with Dwayne Wade and/or Chris Bosh, both of whom are free agents.
Bosh is reported to have signed a deal with the Miami Heat and will be a teammate of Wade for the next five years. Former Phoenix Suns' power forward Amari Stoudamire signed with the Knicks recently and many feel James will do the same to help bring the Big Apple its first NBA title since 1973.
Either way, it would be nice to see James make the announcement and get this over with already.
Granted, James is a phenomenal player and the poster child for the league but has not won a championship in his seven years in the NBA. The only visit to the NBA Finals in 2007 for James and the Cleveland Cavaliers resulted in a four game sweep loss against the San Antonio Spurs.
The call is either for James to remain in Cleveland or go to New York City.
Anything else would be a surprise it seems and the Knicks would definitely benefit with both James and Stoudamire on the roster.
Stay tuned.
Miami bound!
