NBA thoughts...

Congrats to Melo and La La getting murrred up last Saturday in the NYC-
I know how you were feelin', and the wife looks da' bomb.


Among those in attendance at the wedding were Lebron James (who was booed by New Yorkers), A'mare Stoudemire, Chris Paul, the Kardashians, Spike Lee,  Luda, and a slew of other celebrity and power New Yorkers. With all the attention on the Miami Thrice, it seems as though Chris Paul had to take some of the spotlight concerning a possible New York connection. According to the New York Post's Marc Berman, attendee Chris Paul(notes) made a pretty interesting speech at the ceremony- 
During Carmelo Anthony's wedding Saturday night at Cipriani's on 42nd Street, Chris Paul, the superstar New Orleans point guard, predicted a future Knicks Dream Team. [...]
According to a person who spoke with wedding attendee Amar'e Stoudemire(notes), Paul made the reference during a speech of a potential union of himself, Stoudemire and Anthony, saying, "We'll form our own Big 3," Paul allegedly said.


 So there you go Knicks fan, its possible, but then again you have Donnie Walsh and this story-


The Knicks now can chase superstars who actually want to play in New York: Carmelo Anthony(notes) in 2011 and point guards Chris Paul(notes) or Deron Williams(notes) in 2012.
As reported exclusively in yesterday's Post, the Knicks' insistence on no more than two guaranteed years for Felton at $15.8 million has given them the cap-space flexibility to offer one maximum contract for 2011 and another one for 2012, Knicks president Donnie Walsh told The Post yesterday.



Sounds like a good thing right? Then Donnie drops this, completely ruining all chances of a decent Knick rebuild and subsequently making my stomach hurt from laughing so hard- 



A reunion between Isiah Thomas and the New York Knicks is possible, according to Donnie Walsh.
Walsh, the Knicks' president, said Thomas will be on his list of candidates if he is given the go-ahead to hire a general manager.
"With other people, yes, Isiah would be under consideration from me," Walsh said in a telephone interview Saturday. "But that's a situation the owner would have to be involved in."
Walsh said he hasn't hired a general manager for financial reasons. If Knicks owner James Dolan allows it, he said he will eventually do so. [...]
There is little question that Dolan would be willing to consider rehiring Thomas, who served as the club's president and eventually head coach for 4½ years. The two have maintained a close relationship since Thomas was fired by the Knicks in April 2008."




Laughable








And secondly- I will always watch Lebron for his highlights, but can't root for him to win a 'Chip. Which really makes me wonder if the Lakers and Heat are in the Finals next year, who do you root for? Lebron or Kobe?
