Amare Stoudemire, LeBron James

Based on all the rumors- the best case scenario left?

In looking at all the rumors- and honestly- based on what we've heard we can all be sure of one thing, no one knows anything for sure yet.

But if the latest Amare to NYK rumor is true I think the best scenario we have left now (including where other players go) is LeBron and Amare to NYC, DWade stays, Bosh is the lone man to end up in Chicago and the rest of the players return to their hometowns (ok maybe Boozer to Miami and teams up with DWade... but thats not the scariest thing we can imagine...)

This would bring the East back to the 90's- NYK, Miami, Chicago (and ok, add in Orlando) rivalries renewed.

Otherwise thinking of the potential teams/players LeBron could end up with, pretty much any of the top FA's, no matter who the Knicks fill up the roster with we will again play second fiddle to wherever LeBron goes.

...and as most of the true Knicks fans, tough to say David Lee is not part of the ideal play right now...

Vegas Odds on the Big 5 Free Agents

With the 2010 Free Agent buzz dominating all NBA discussions, Vegas has jumped in with their opinion on the top 5 Free Agents:

LeBron James

Cavaliers -150
Bulls +125
Knicks +250
Nets +400
Heat +600
Clippers +1000

Dwyane Wade

Heat -400
Knicks +500
Bulls +500
Nets +1200
Clippers +1200

Chris Bosh

Knicks +300
Bulls +300
Heat +300
Rockets +300
Clippers +800
Wizards +800
Nets +1000
Raptors +1000
Cavaliers +2000

Amare Stoudemire

Knicks +220
Bulls +220
Heat +220
Suns +500
Nets +700
Clippers +1500
Cavs +2000

Carlos Boozer

Jazz +300
Bulls +300
Heat +300
Nets +300
Knicks +700
Cavaliers +1500
Clippers +1500

These odds allow gamblers to put their money where their mouth is, while also splashing a dose of reality into all the speculation out there.

Vegas is again shifting on LeBron, this time with the Bulls inching closer. Wade staying in Miami is as close to sure to a sure thing as you can get at -400. While Bosh, Stoudemire and Boozer still seem to be anyone's guess given how contingent they are on where LeBron lands.

We'll continue to update any changes, which are sure to come as July 1st arrives and the official recruitment begins.
