Hahn: LeBron James will announce his decision from Greenwich, CT.

PrintUpdate (3:09): Just remember that sources and media outlets all have agendas. A lot of what we have heard and will hear is deliberate deception on the part of one or more of those parties. This is a massive, complicated exercise in marketing. We won't be sure about anything until it's done. For example, Steve Adamek is already denying Frank Isola's post from 5 minutes ago (Isola too). I'm going to settle down now, and y'all should too.
Update (3:05): Frank Isola just twat:
Can't confirm this but a Knicks source claims the location may be Allan Houston's house. Wow
The "can't confirm" is crucial, but uh...yeah.
Alan Hahn just answered (worth the subscription!) one of many questions regarding tomorrow's announcement:
Multiple sources told Newsday that LeBron James' one-hour special on ESPN, called "The Decision", will be broadcast from a studio in Greenwich, Conn.
This comes on the heels of some suggestive posts twat by Chad Ochocinco and Jared Dudley about James' destination. Who knows what to make of any of this? My best guess now is that LeBron will be a Hartford Whaler by week's end.

LOL, it’s crazy isn’t it? We’re going to go from Eastern dogs to contenders in a New York minute. I can’t wait! (And if I’m wrong, the tequila shots will taste that much better)
LOL
I meant “Eastern dogs to Eastern contenders,” though if we are contenders for the eastern crown, it’s not far fetched to think we may be TITLE contenders in the near future. Make no mistake, if we have LBJ and Amare, with Gallo, TD and Chandler (not to mention anyone else that comes along for the ride) we will be top 3 in the east.

okay
There is NO WAY the location is Allan Houston’s house. Why would LBJ do this whole 1-hour special thing just to completely destroy any sense of suspense?

Houston can sit in a wheelchair at the three point line

Provided, of course, that Toney Douglas is playing defense.
Ok sooooo
I don’t know much about cap and all that stuff, so how much will the Knicks have if they get “That Guy”? What do people think they will do to fill out the roster, they still need a C.

"He needs to pitch in a higher league, if there is one. Ban him from baseball. He should be illegal."
—Tom Kelly, manager of Minnesota Twins, after his team faced Rivera
I read someplace Barron passed on the veteran's min
But you’d think the Knicks wait to make that offer after the payroll is filled b/c veteran’s min contracts can exceed the salary cap. So who knows what the deal there is.
Also anybody know what’s up with the bi-annual exception? Is that the same deal as the mid-level as far as needing to be over the cap to access it?
Magette passed the physical
they say… but the paperwork didn’t get filed before the contract moratorium started on the 1st. Apparently it will be done on the 7th …. Jerome Jordan will be a Knick…..
They’ll have 7 roster spots filled and (virtually) no more cap space. Add in hopefully three rookies and that’s 10. So after that, a couple more minimum-salary signings? Do the Knicks somehow lose their MLE for this off-season?
No MLE for us
It counts against your cap, if you are under the cap…so in order to sign a 2nd Max level FA, we need to renounce or decline the MLE.
Basically, only teams that start the Offseason over the Cap actually end up using their MLE. Everyone else pretty much declines it so they can spend their “under the cap money” in whatever way they can.
the question is
do we trade up currys contract and surround him with felton, ridnour, miller. or do we try to score next free agency and just sign some poo talent.

Bulls sign Boozer...
to 5 year 80 million contract. How much cap space does that give them?
no flexibility
they wont have money to resign rose, noah, deng and so forth. I think it is a last ditch attempt, wouldnt be wise to jump on that. It does make chicago better tho, but boozer is overrated! David lee wouldve been a much wiser sign
Yeah I wonder if playing for D'Antoni hurt Lee's stock
People assuming he’s got inflated numbers or something
i believe lee is waiting for the three to sign, he will be the best on the market at that
he will be the best on the market at that, people will be kissing his ass begging for his services. I thinks its smart. Most educated people will look at his pre dantoni numbers and see that the talent is there.
He shared the same options with all those other star players though
Miami spent their cash, Chicago signed Boozer. A few other teams with space going into the offseason like OKC and the Wizards spent it at the draft. I don’t think he wants to be a Clipper and it wouldn’t make sense anyway. All that’s left is hoping for a sign and trade to Cleveland or maybe Phoenix if that’s still viable, but I don’t think so. All he can do is become a Net. He’s got pretty much no leverage now.
Enough to get LeBron
I believe, still not so sure about the cap and everything, they may have to trade away a few pieces.

Pretty ambivalent at this point
This guy is self-aggrandizing to the point that I won’t be disappointed if he signs somewhere else. By doing this 1 hour special he either slaps cavs fans in the face, or stirs up the pot only to announce the expected, unexciting result. Either way, he’s a pretty slimy guy unnecessarily promoting an already globally famous brand.
Although the knicks would become competitive again, his signing here would dilute the fanbase and make ticket-purchasing nearly impossible. If we can win championships without him i’m all for it

Not sure I agree
I kind of see this as LeBron playfully yanking ESPN’s chain. And yes, it would suck for Clevelanders if he was to leave, but Cleveland screwed up the team. They lost Boozer, they overpaid Varajao and other pieces, they chickened out on getting Amar’e and they failed to pull off a Bosh sign and trade.
LeBron wants to win a championship and he’s got to hitch his wagon to the right tractor. And the frenzy is going to happen no matter what he does, so why not go with it and have fun with it?
i was gonna do a fanpost later about that
How we are going to be a hated team for a long while, while i personally can care less. Comes with the territory, only one team can win every year, and that leaves plenty of people to be pissed about it. It doesnt matter what team he goes too there will be hostility, there will be hatred.
People love to hate, HATE HATE HATE!!!! 
I'll
bet you Knickerbockers fans are getting excited now, eh? In the City that never sleeps anyway, some 15 million Knicks fans in New York and its suburbs will be up until 9:00 p.m. EDT Thursday night hanging on LeBron’s every syllable. Good luck to you.

do you honestly believe LeBron will be the first ever super star to willingly sign with the Nets as a free agent? In order for the Nyets to make a “splash” this new management group needs to put its money where its mouth is for a few seasons before any max player will take them seriously. This team is slightly better than the Cavs were the season immediately before LeBron arrived. No way in hell he will go through that all over again.

With those two guys (Jay and Prokohorov) everything is image. Of course they project confidence after the meeting, what elser are they gonna do?

And if image matters…not such a hot outlook for the Nets
too much uncertainty
he is 25, he doesnt have time to take a risk like that, 2 yrs before brooklyn, new coach, no GM, a brand new owner. their roster isnt that exciting, no allstars. Just quality role players, maybe lopez does get that much better, or maybe he becomes a okafor! solid but never dominating.

And in the end
If LeBron chooses NY, it’s not because the Knicks are the best team or the richest team, or NY is the only place in the world worth living in. It’s because the Knicks have shown good judgment as an organization over the last couple of years and seem to know what the fuck they’re doing. Their cap position is excellent and they have some good young players with good attitudes.
Maybe New Yorkers are arrogant about their city, but it’s just pride. And the Knicks aren’t the Yankees drawing free agents in with that ‘Yankee Mystique’, the chance to win a ring, and an unlimited payroll. They’re just a team in the NBA with the same salary cap as everyone else, that plays in a city that loves basketball.
You have to remember though
this guy was living in Cleveland. I mean almost any city with an NBA team would be a step up. Hopefully it’s not too much of a leap to NYC.
Does anybody
Honestly not want LeBron on the Knicks? Not “well we’d still be good without him”, straight out not want him. I seriously don’t get that logic-he’s back to back MVP for Christ’s sake, who cares what he does off-court (most of which I believe gets overblown about him being egotistical). Anybody not want him here? And…why?

i mean, he does come across as kind of a punk
but yeah, it’s really about basketball, isn’t it? hard to say no to an instant mvp candidate on your roster.
at the same time, i’ll really enjoy rooting against him if he spurns the knicks.
Exactly
you gotta think basketball fist. You can’t expect every NBA player to be a model citizen and get along. Hell, LeBron makes a fun atmosphere on the court. I just get the feeling people pick apart a basketball player when he should be judged by his skills on the court, and nobody can match LeBron right now.

Probably
but doesn’t he hate Boozer? Or was that the organization? I guess it throws them back in the mix, or is the mix over.
KEEP LEE!!!
That was my question! Haha
I think LeBron decided already, so it’s probably just an indicator of them knowing they’re out of it and signing at least one FA
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

I think so
I don’t know. I always felt the Cavs screwed their best chance at a championship by losing Boozer. I could imagine LeBron being pissed at Boozer… or at the cavs for losing Boozer. I always wondered about that.

to see the “FUCK LEBRON” messages from fans of all the other teams that don’t get him (hopefully not us). They’ll vehemently deny that they wanted him, say he’s a dick, but they’d call him a saviour if he did come. Sometimes I think we’re the only sane fanbase.

Also under the assumption LBJ signs here,
and barring a sign and trade with Cleveland where Lebron gets a max 6 year deal. How does everyone feel about paying Lebron and Amare around 190 million while the Heat are paying 250 for Wade and Bosh?
Kinda is though, depending on the next CBA
Another thing, how much higher does the salary cap get next year when the NBA is banking the kind of revenue that amasses when the league’s biggest star hits the league’s biggest market?
And while people insist on bitching about the Knicks with Amare
Wade isn’t exactly a dude with a clean bill of health his career.
Bosh is just healthy cuz he doesn’t go for contact anyway

Good choice
Jim Gray is the only thing more obnoxious than the events surrounding Lebron’s free agency
One front-office executive whose team made a presentation to LeBron James told Yahoo! Sports that he believes James is choosing between Miami and Cleveland. And yet, if James wants to deliver the biggest kick in the gut to his hometown, he’ll pick the flat-lined New York Knicks. Whatever the decision, he’s made clear that the teasing and tormenting of the loser isn’t his concern. Yahoo! Sports

I might be missing something but that wouldn't work
Warriors are above the cap and Randolph makes like 2 million or something. Let’s say Lee makes 12 mil in year one of his new deal, the Warriors would have to also send back 10 million in salaries with Randolph, which would make signing Lebron impossible.
if he was gonna take less I think he'd rock with MIA

I don't think he'd want to go to Miami if he was only gonna want the minumum...
due’s gonna make at least $500mill off the court. I dunno that his NBA contract really matters.
And unless he kills someone, does some dirty thing in Colorado to a white woman, or has a dogfighting ring..I dunno that he’ll not get those endorsements.
KEEP LEE!!!
Randolph is tailor-made for SSOL
young, super freak athlete with tons of potential to pair with Amar’e isn’t a bad back-up plan …
Funny that Randolph was “untouchable” when Suns were trying to make a trade with GS for Amar’e but now they’re willing to trade him for DLee.
It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
Lets not start
sucking his dick just yet……I have to admit it is intriguing that he’s flying to CT, but he does have Melo’s wedding this weekend in NY. Also supposedly he has parties on Thurs and Fri night to attend for the wedding party. He’s prob going to boys and girls club in CT because its a neutral location near NYC for the wedding. Imagine the frenzy he would cause if he flew into JFK for the press conference (and wedding).
I hope he is a Knick next year tho….but this is getting crazy, so many rumors…Imagine how tense some of us feel and he’s not even our player…Cle fans must REALLY be going through it….
It kinda sucks reading some of the CavsInsider posts
cuz they seem “shocked” disallusioned at times yet on James Twitter he compliments them (or posted for James). But it could also be part of the game

its defiantly playing way to big a role in all this
and its resulting in more shit flying around than the monkey cages at the zoo
Reading
this, it appears that Donnie buckets has at least 3 Sign and trade deals on the table for Lee.
Wonder what the other 2 are, if Randolph + filler is one?
KEEP LEE!!!
Miami would have to trade Beasley to make LeBron work under the cap
but wouldn’t that leave the Heat with 4 players on the roster ad roughly 500k in remaining cap space? How do you fill the remaining 11 slots with that?
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
According to the four-letter network
MIA would just “go over the cap” to sign rookies, D-leaguers and vets looking to pick up a ring for the min.
It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
Well they got 3 rooks so they would need about 8 vets so sign for the minimum
that isn’t championship level depth. Miami is better off keeping the dynamic duo and use the remaining money to fill out that roster with actual quality depth like the Lakers have.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
true
but depends on those vet mins.
The Knicks would be in a similar situation if they get HWSNBn, tho we got DWTDD, Gallo, Chan and Walker..still need some depth.
I’ve been nominating Kurt Thomas and Jason Willimas/Skip to my Lou…of they sign for that.
OF course, Eddy Curry could finally prove his worth. If that fat fuck is a post up monster like he was what seemed like forever ago…well,……

I still don't see LeBron going to "Wade's Team"
Which the Heat are. If LeBron goes there, he’s “joining” DWade. I just don’t believe it will happen.
I think they all would get the same max
so if Wade and Bosh get the max, still the same.
But if HWSNBN goes there, he’d get a bit more without them having to do anything.
KEEP LEE!!!
I'm not good at crunching numbers
But I’m going to go with conventional wisdom, and say LeBron does not want to be the Robin to anybody.
and what is the situation with lee and releasing him if we sign bron
can we do a sign and trade to get randolph and company before getting lebron with the salary cap at 58.xx?
or get lebron and still be able to use lee as sign and trade?
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
Unless we can unload Eddy Curry
and/or he only wants like $9mill in 2010, then no.
GS is over the cap, so its gotta match.

right lee would have to take a salary in this coming year of about 8 mil and dont see that happening.

With Amar'e signed at 16.6 and the cap at 58m how much money do the knicks have to spend?
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
we have used roughly 35.2 mil of the 58 right now
amare (16.6), curry (11.3), gallo (3.3), wilson (2.1), toney (1.1) and walker (0.85)
are we sure amare starts at 16.6 i read somewhere it was 17.2 first year, either way i guess not a huge difference
Amare's starts at 17.2 pretty sure
he’s been in the league longer then the 2003 guys, who get like 16.6.
I think/hope the maxes don’t change.
With 22mill left over, we can now get HWSNBN for his max at 16.whatever, then got about 5mill left over.
KEEP LEE!!!
and if they could nab Travis Outlaw (who I've heard NOTHING about so far..dammit)
I’d have a strong long lasting hard on.
KEEP LEE!!!
so for the gstate trade it would depend who comes over with randolph then
depending on what lebrons year1 pay could be (16.6 to 17.2 mil?) could maybe do it with randolph and azubuike, but other fillers with bigger contracts may not work
thats a rough estimate but according to hoopshype’s salaries but its possible, will be very tight leaving us like 30k under cap
you do realize that do that lee would have to sign for the salaries your bringing back, basically, right? you think lee is going to sign for a starting salary of 6-8 mil?

Is Anthony Randolph really better than David Lee?

I think this - except "they" want Lee
If he who should not be lame walks, you keep lee and get someone with Randolphs Potential for backup – he’s Long, gets blocks probably COULD do 15 10 and 2 with 1.5 st and 1.5 blks per, that’s not bad. Hey if Amare is better eating forwards on offense, we need to enforce on the other end and letr amare do what he does best
i dont think hes anywhere near the player lee is right now
but he is a bargain at 1.96mil in 2010-11 and 2.3ish in 2011-2012, i guess the thinking is if there gunna let lee walk get something cheap that can help and with our depth anthony randolph and most of those fillers would certainly help
he's 20 years old
4 inchies taller, and basically has the same skill set as Lee, except a bit more of a developed jumper already.
More of trade on pure potential. Randolph’s really outweighs Lee’s.
Only problem is I hope Pringles would use him.

Camby type maybe – I haven’t seen much myself, but his numbers stack up well for being something special very soon – anyone no how’s his defense?
Was watching some highlights to familiarize myself with the guy
A young Camby running wild (and with a jumper, and who can cross guys over) did come to mind. Though, half his blocks seem to come when he turns it over on the perimeter and hustles back on D.. I don’t know how to interpret that as a sign of defensive ability

always a plus for big – this would give us 3 long dee specialists for the C spot and I would rotate this position since they’ll get the dirty work – keep em fresh and healthy
his skill set
will be complemented tremendously in this offense, it would be hard for DA to not use him unless his minutes would be lessened b/c of an Earl Barron signing…

Anthony Randolph and Ronny Turiaf for lee
Has anyone noticed the ESPN Bottom Line that says Bosh & Wade have agreed to take less money?
I bring it up for a few reasons:
A. this bullshit that Miami is the supposed ‘frontrunner’. They are absolutely NOT.
B. The line right after the ‘less money’ comment says the Heat and Raptors are working on a sign and trade for Bosh.
What does that tell you guys? I’ll fucking tell you what. If Miami and Toronto are are working a Sign and Trade, then that means not only is Bosh NOT signing for less than the max, he is signing for his Toronto Max (an extra year and $30mil extra!!!!)
It is BEYOND laughable to me that these points are being completely ignored.
Also, Boozer to Chicago..yes, good for Chi… as long as they don’t expect LeBron to sign. Remember when Boozer left Cleveland after they declined his 4th year Team Option so he could sign a major contract a year earlier than anyone else? Yeah, that was the year the Cavs needed a PF in the worst way to compliment LeBron James. Do you honestly think he has forgotten that?!?!
Yet I hear NOTHING about the Boozer, Cleveland thing other than “Boozer played 1 year with James in 2004”.
Seriously. Embarrassing reporting.

CCF you are spot on
one short day to daylight and agree with you here. I know we talked about this in another post, but, i understand his toolness outweighs his physical tools. This has been a bad 3 ring circus. I didn’t think much of Amare before he came here, due to his trash talking before the Laker’s series he couldn’t back up, but I’m liking him better and better. I keep wanting to look at the sunny side of things, but everything just comes across as self-serving and irresponsible propaganda.

and also that shelly chick on the superteam(wack ass name btw)… “its a huge possibilty. never say never”
does that even make any sense.. saying its likely to happen followed by a dont give up hope, theres a small chance it can happen still cliche?
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
I'm right there with you
I told my brother Ron today on the phone to stop watching and listening to everything ESPN is reporting. Him and I are like everybody else, drained from all theser numerous rumors…just pick a damn team and call it a night.

not really
He’s a fool, all ny has to do is feel burned and we’ll burn him every time he comes to NY, he’ll hate the garden and the garden will hate him. Also cleveland and chicago will hate him so basically he’ll need bodyguards everywhere he’ll go because he’ll get hit wit everything from bottles to popcorn

I'm dubious
regarding its validity.
Not on his blog, and dude said he was checking out three hours ago. Kind of a rogue Tweet.
If it’s true, then fuck everything.
Remember that LeBron is the horse
Not Hahn and, despite certain resemblances, certainly not Broussard
Lets Hope
It’s not a valid tweet…or twat or twit, once this LeBron thing is over, I never want to hear anything about Litter, I mean Twitter again…Go Knicks.
ESPN is talking like Bron to Miami is a done deal.
If this is true, I now hate the Heat more than I hate those old gimps in Boston. I hope a nuclear bomb drops in the middle of AA arena or the TD Garden when these two teams play. There’s no God if this is true.
Never underestimate the power of a neck brace and wheelchair. In Donnie Walsh I trust!

pdiddy tweets lebron is a knick
is it my imagination, or are all media sources saying lebron to miami, and all celebrities saying lebron to NY.
lol.. all this miami shyt is creating a wave amongst the viewers
i mean, i do believe that it could happen. but imo the knicks have more of a shot than wade bron and bosh to take say a 4-5M dollar pay cut.
With the bulls anouncing defeat in the lebron scenario, and the cavs not signing bosh(or anyone else for tha tmatter) the knicks seemed to gain too much ground and could possilby have lessened the viewers for tonights debacle press conference.
I mean, i too am speculating here lol.. but shyt.. the media could be surging this miami thing to bring back a lot of unknown factors in where he will sign. instead of most ppl thinking the knicks. Of course..this could be a far fetched analysis of a knick fan.. but it makes sense to me..and thats all that matters!
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
I would prefer him to other places than Miami.
Those three together would really piss me off.
Darrelle Revis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.
Not sure if this means anything...but...
its interesting if its true. Got it from a yahoo msg board. If you go to the site and look up the property…he is right….hmmm..
"Lebron has changed the mailing address for his home in Bath, Ohio for correspondence and tax billings to Chicago as of today. Read into that what you will. Check out the Summit County Ohio Auditor’s site for Rachael Investments, the 4157 Idlebrook address. That’s his current home. Look it up for yourself at this site: "http://fiscaloffice.summitoh.net/index.php/property-tax-search" target="_blank">http://fiscaloffice.summitoh.net/index.php/property-tax-search"
Please stop posting this everywhere.
