Miller Concerns Walsh

Donnie Walsh's plans for the 2010 offseason is clear to many. He has Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James in his sights, and it's been debated whether he will come to the Knicks or not. Former Indiana Pacers superstar Reggie Miller said recently in an online question and answer session that James won't be coming to New York. He said the Knicks should get two other quality free agents.

While some executives don't take opinions that seriously, Walsh apparently did. Walsh wanted to know if Miller had any inside information regarding James' decision. Walsh contacted Miller, and Miller told Walsh that he knew nothing and what he stated was his opinion. That gives the Knicks some life, as Walsh has been clearing the roster of bad contracts past the 2010 season in order to free up cap space to obtain his services, hopefully along with another.

For now, the debate will continue on James' decision in the 2010 offseason. I think he'll come to the Knicks because there is a lot to accomplish being in New York. New York is the biggest sports market, in addition to the fact that the Knicks have been starving for a championship for almost nearly 40 years. It'll also benefit his endorsements, especially Nike. Coming to New York will benefit James better than staying in Cleveland or going somewhere else.
