Pistons' best move: Wait for LeBron and others in 2010

[obie7661]

...It could become the most talented free agency class ever in professional sports in that there will be five players -- LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson -- with already one NBA championship, two NBA Finals, four U.S. Olympic team invitations and 16 All-Star appearances among them and not one of them will be older than 30 in 2010.
If that doesn't whet the appetite, then there will be an available 32-year-old former league MVP (Dirk Nowitzki) and a just-turned-31 Michael Redd, one of the game's deadliest perimeter sharp shooters....

Heck Cav's need to resign him or it going to be long season's a head. Cleveland got to win something.

How in the heck does Darko Milicic make the list of best 2010 free agents?

And does Detroit really think Lebron would go there if he left Cleveland? If he leaves Cleveland it will be for bigger markets like New York, LA, or maybe Chicago.

Saw a piece on ESPN that said that New York Knicks and NJ Nets were already jockeying their money to be ready for the LaBron 2010 lottery. That would hurt !

That would be devastating!

NJ is who scares me. Lebron is friends with Jay-Z. There is talk of moving the team to Brooklyn.

NJ has gotten rid of Kidd, Jefferson, and Vince Carter will be next to free up some money.

With good reason. They have set their sights on Lebron and will be one of if not the major player in the bidding wars.

Be very scared.

The CAVS need to win it all or come realy close if they have any chance of signing Lebron again. The trade of last season was good, but they still need another player that is a top scorer. Getting Redd would be awesome and I think the Bucks might be open. It would be nice to have a true point guard, but college ball isn't turning out many quality points anymore. Most are more like versitale two guards, which is exactly what West is. A West, James, Redd combo would be great! I worry about Z's age and that might end up being a problem.

They better do something drastic with trades or the free agent market or he is definately going to leave.

It would have been nice to get Jamison but he just signed a 4 year extension with the Wizards.
