NO SECRET....

I've said it long ago, a superstar is all this team is lacking, period! Although Hell Week has started off 0-2, and despite the organization's bumbling of the Marbury situation, I am confident this team is "constantly" improving, and should get their first taste of the playoffs this year.

If the core continues to develop their game individually, and, within the D'Antoni system, once we land an SUPERSTAR, sky is the limit. Mark my words......

I only hope I am financially capable to witness the re-emergence of the Franchise, first hand, when it happens.

BERNARD DREAMS OF GARDEN'S FUTURE KING 2/05/09 NY POST

Reached at his home in Atlanta, King, who watched Bryant's historic night on television, told The Post it would be "phenomenal" if the KnicksNew York Knicks can sign King James in 2010.

"The Knicks need a superstar," said King, the Brooklyn-born forward who is still a big Knicks fan. "They should always have a superstar like LeBron. Being in New York, the biggest media capital in the world, it would be phenomenal. It's something I would love to see. The Knicks deserve to be mentioned in the top echelon of the league. LeBron would be a perfect fit in the offense because D'Antoni would love to run with him."




***************************

Let's just hope karma doesn't derail the potential of a superstar coming to the club in 2010. Obviously, the league is privy to the way the organization treated Steph, and although he was a perennial malcontent, he did not deserve to be ostracized like that.

He did everything they asked of him in the off/pre season, they should have given him enough rope to hang himself, but the organization jumped the gun, which has transformed him into sort of a "martyr" in the eyes of many around the league.

That being said, the current cast of players on this team are primed for championships, we just need that "ONE" piece. Hopefully, time will grant the organization clemency, and All Stars will once again gravitate back to the biggest Basketball stage in the world.

STAR IS NOT KEEN ON GUTTED TEAM 2/05/09 NY POST

The Knicks traded away their two leading scorers, frantically trying to clear salary cap space for the 2010 free-agent class that is headlined by LeBron James and includes Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. King James offered them both a tantalizing reminder of what they're chasing, and a warning of how not to get him.

"It all depends on what type or caliber of players you have. And if you're a team that you feel is trying to build toward the future, then I definitely would," James said. "If I was in that position and I felt like our team was geared toward the future and not the present,

I'd try to put myself in a position where I at least had a chance to get a big market player.

"But you don't want to just trash the season you have, and disrespect the players you have on the team. . . . It would be a tough decision for me if I was running a team."
