@pareng wenong, tingin ko mas kailangan ni Marbury ng bigger stage para sa malaking ego niya...pwede siguro sa Nuggets, Lakers, Heat at Cavs..

2010 vision: Projecting LeBron James' destination
LINK
Boy, oh, boy, are folks in NBA front offices everywhere salivating. The free-agent market will do that to a general manager. Not this summer's free-agent market -- duds abound there -- and not even next year's. No, teams are lathered up for 2010, when Joe Johnson, Amare Stoudemire, Tracy McGrady, Michael Redd, Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade will be contract-free.
But those will all be consolation prizes (even Wade). That's because the top name on the list is the league's biggest -- LeBron James. And get this: When the summer of free-agent love rolls around, James will be but 25 years old.
Every team has LeBron fever. That was evident on draft night last week, when the Nets dealt Richard Jefferson to create cap space in '10. Other teams drafted players who could help lure James. Some, though, have no cap room (the Celtics and Lakers). Some figure to have no chance (those in small markets like Indiana and Minnesota or out-of-country markets like Toronto and those coached by Larry Brown, like Charlotte). In the end, only a handful of teams will have a shot at LeBron. The likeliest to land James:
Nets. After trading Jefferson, they drafted a nice haul of Brook Lopez, Ryan Anderson and Chris Douglas-Roberts. They'll have money, they have James pal Jay-Z as one of their owners, and they're moving to Brooklyn. The Nets are in prime LeBron-landing position.
Knicks. New York will have to protect its salary cap room, but the presumption is that if James is going to leave Cleveland, he will do so only to save the Knicks (and bump up his endorsement dollars in the league's biggest market).
Cavaliers. James has said he doesn't want to leave Cleveland, and the Cavs, by league rules, will be able to pay him more than any other team. Cleveland also will have the cash to bring in another top-shelf free agent of James' choosing.
Bulls. Is there a better place for a fella who wears No. 23? The Bulls drafted James' friend Derrick Rose, his ideal point guard.
Heat. The phone call is not hard to imagine. Wade says, "I'll stay in Miami if you want to join me. We've got Michael Beasley. South Beach, too." James says, "Hmmm. What's Pat Riley's number?" Just like that, the Wade-James tandem is born.
San Antonio. If it's a championship James wants, helping Tim Duncan close out his career would not be a bad idea.
