Latest LeBron-To-NYC Plans - Zap Zach, Give Gifts

... has a chance to opt out of his Cavaliers contract in 2010, Berman suggests making salary cap room by trading away Zach Randolph and his $17.8 million contract that runs through 2011. And it doesn’t have to be just Zach that’s zapped from the roster, as Berman says removing Eddy Curry or Jamal Crawford could also put the Knicks under the cap. But if MSG management can’t make this happen, some fans hope to sway LeBron with their own greenback grass-roots campaign. A new website, New York for Lebron , is trying to raise funds for a noble cause - buying LeBron gifts so he’ll ...
New York Fansite to Lure Lebron James
Cavaliers Court —
... In an effort to to lure Lebron James to opt out of his contract in 2010 and come to the New York Knicks, a fan has created a site requesting donations for the cause. The money is said to be placed in an account and will be used to purchase a welcome gift basket for James, including his own suite at Yankee Stadium, a Ferrari, and additional salary. ...

Just set up a voting system for all season ticket holders, hire someone desperate for a job in an NBA front office and have them present options to the "board". Okay, that probably wouldn't work. But that doesn't mean Knicks fans aren't willing to take matters into their own hands when it comes to improving the team. Via SBB, comes the website "NYC for LeBron", a site dedicated to raising money -- from fans! -- to bring LeBron James ...

I hope all of you had a relaxing Easter weekend. It isn’t every year that one can couple said holiday with March Madness - it felt like a version of Thanksgiving, though supplanting football with a bevy of college basketball games. When Easter falls in late April, we get some regular season baseball; but that’s not as fun. Can you believe baseball begins tomorrow? Though only a couple of days, the Red Sox and A’s will be duking it out overseas while the rest of the league wraps up grapefruit ball. Another thing I can’t believe is that there will be baseball played here in a matter of days. It’s very un-warm out ...

Former Clevelander behind 2 LeBron James to the Knicks websites: You can’t trust anyone in Cleveland
Hail Mary Jane —
Cleveland has definitely had their share of disappointment and betrayal over the years. Just ask Carlos Boozer, Jim Thome and Omar Vizquel. This one takes the cake though. Apparently a former Cleveland resident is petitioning to have to LeBron James play for the New York Knicks when he is a free agent in 2010. He did this by making two websites to try and entice LeBron to New York.
The websites are nycforlebron.com and nycforlebron.net. They’re goal is to make LeBron want to come to New York. Not a bad idea as far as Knicks fans are concerned. LeBron would fit in perfectly there ...
Former Clevelander Behind ‘NYC for LeBron’ Campaign
SLAM Online —
by Marcel Mutoni
Holy traitor, Batman!
You know about the infamous NYC for LeBron website - an absurdly silly attempt to bribe James to come to New York once his current deal with the Cavs is up in 2010 - and now it appears that someone who used to work for the Cavs may be behind the whole thing.
Perhaps more troubling for nycforlebron.com is that Earl Patton, the Cavaliers director of basketball administration from 2001 to ‘06, appears to be a part of the group that founded the site. He denied involvement when reached by phone last ...
Early pitch: Sites try luring LeBron to NYC, Knicks
Randball —
In perhaps a sign of things to come as the rich get richer and sports fans get more desperate, two web sites attempting to lure LeBron James to New York when he becomes a free agent in 2010 have popped up. The differences between these and some sort of fan dream site are, well, many (and are highlighted in bold). From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Traitorous former Clevelanders appear to be behind two Web sites recently launched with the aim of enticing Cavaliers star LeBron James to play for the New York Knicks when James is a free agent in 2010.

... So does D’Antoni, who will have plenty of time to cozy up to James this summer when Team USA reconvenes in Las Vegas for training camp in late July before leaving for the Olympics.
“I respect coach D’Antoni for what he does,” James said. “He’s an unbelievable coach, and what he’s going to do for this city is going to be great.”
And definitely don’t read too much into this.
Dwyane Wade checked in too:

... a surprise to the audience. Given that Mike D'Antoni made Steve Nash into an (undeserving) two-time MVP, perhaps he will make Duhon something better than serviceable. But really, it likely doesn't matter. Though I tire of the constant class-of-2010 speculation--after all, not every team can sign LeBron, Dwyane, and Bosh, and we are, you know, two years away still--this seems like a maneuver meant to position the Brickers for a run at one of those ballyhooed prizes. There's even an unaffiliated website. ...
