What Free Agents Could Realistically Come To NYC This Summer? Part II - Buckets Over Broadway - Buckets Over Broadway - A New York Knicks Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> In Part I of this, I looked at what each team (that will have $) has to offer to this summer’s free agent crop.  In this section, I’mna go from the team to the player and try to understand a bit more what they want.  You may think, “Duh, what they want is to win and make buckets o’ money.”  However, the truth is that, while none of theses guys are selfish, a lot of the determination comes down to ego.  I’d initially assumed that if the Knicks could free up enough cap space (which they now have) that they’d have a shot at getting any two big names, like LeBron James and Chris Bosh.  Then I read this article in mid-February on ESPN.com about interviewing Bosh:

Bosh revealed that he’s not necessarily interested in playing anywhere that he’s not the clear-cut franchise player.

“That’s a good question,” Bosh said when asked by ESPN The Magazine’s Ric Bucher if he’s bothered by the widespread perception that he’s determined to follow either LeBron James or Dwyane Wade by signing on with one of the teams they choose starting July 1.

“It’s funny you say that, because I was thinking about it. I was just looking at what people say and it’s like, ‘Chris is going to go here and play with him or this, this and that.’ I’m like, ‘Wait a minute.’ I feel like I should be built around. And maybe that’s just my ego talking, but I feel that I’m a very good player in this league and I’m only going to get better. So … maybe we should be getting somebody [in Toronto].”

Bosh would probably be outta Toronto in a sec if one of the three teams in home state Texas were in the running
