Free agent developments. Mega team in New York?

While it once looked close that Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh would come to Miami, that looks distant now. Miami is in trouble of not getting any of those players now. Lets look at what is close to certain, and then go to the less than certain.

Dirk Nowitski

It looks like Dirk and the Dallas Mavericks have reached a max deal that will keep Dirk in Dallas for the next 6 years. He is expected to sign July 8, the first day players are allowed to sign.

Joe Johnson

Johnson has reached a deal for a maximum contract with the Atlanta Hawks which he will sign July 8. In my opinion he is not worth a max deal, but thats up to the Hawks.

Amare Stoudemire

Stoudemire has reportedly reached a 5 year, $100 Million deal with the New York Knicks. Stoudemire is trying to bring Lebron to New York. There are also reports that the Denver Nuggets might orchestrate a sign and trade to send Carmelo Anthony to New York in return for Eddy Curry and Danillo Gallinari.

Dwyane Wade

While a few days ago it seemed certain Wade would stay in Miami, it now looks like he and Chris Bosh will head to Chicago. Wade had two meetings with Chicago and said he will do what is best for his children. If thats true, he will go to Chicago because he is trying to battle for custody with his estranged wife, who lives with his children in Chicago. Chicago is also Wade's hometown and where he grew up.

Chris Bosh

If Lebron now is leaning towards playing with Stoudemire over Bosh, Bosh goes where Wade goes.

Lebron James

There is no way the New York Knicks mega team with James, Carmelo Anthony, and Stoudemire gets down. That would mean they would have to sign 12 players to play for the lowest salary level because those three will go over the cap by themselves.

Seems like Carmelo will be a nice carrot to dangle in front of the NY fans if they miss out on LeBron. I think what's more likely than the super team is that NY gets LeBron or Wade, Amare, and then Tony Parker comes over when Eddy Curry's contract expires. Team them with Gallinari, Bill Walker, and Toney Douglass and you have a shot at the title for the next 7 years. Gallinari in particular will seem like a totally different player with all the open three's he'll be taking.

I watched pretty much every Knick game on MSG last year and I can tell you that Gallinari is the real deal. He's going to be great with Amar'e kicking the ball out to him for open threes. There won't be a mega team though. Best chance is signing Lebron along with Amare(who's already committed) and wait until Curry's contract comes off the books next year and sign another good player. I don't think he's coming though. :(

I'm sorry that you wasted a year of your life watching them throw games. Carmello in New York matched up with Amare would be dangerous though
