Time to Stop the LeBron to New York Talk NOW

It could be that I am a huge Cleveland sports' fan, so I may be just basing this on my opinion. But I do think that the mainstream media wants to see Cleveland sports fail. Maybe it is because the city has the best fans in the world (in my opinion), maybe they just do not like the Buckeye state, or it could be that the Cleveland curses continue (The Drive, The Fumble, The Shot, etc.). But you would think, that even if there is a bias against Cleveland sports, there may be some common sense. But no.

Take, for instance, the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Now, I love reading it, but sometimes I think they buy into the mainstream media's view that Cleveland Sports are bound to fail. I love Paul Hoynes, but he has bought into the believe that CC Sabathia will leave the Indians at the end of the year to play for the Yankees. Now, it seems they are buying into the whole LeBron James to New York theory..

Besides the question of whether the writers for the Plain Dealer buy into this nonsense, my question is: it is newsworthy? Surely they have something better to post than a website made for fans of the Knicks, not the Cavs. Instead of talking about the playoffs, they talk about a website that is trying to pry LeBron to the Knicks when his contract is up...

Ok, sorry to the delusional Knicks' fans, but it will not happen for several reasons:

1) LeBron is from Akron. He has said he loves the Cleveland area, and that is why he is building a huge mansion.

2) LeBron has stated his desire to bring a championship to Cleveland, and he knows that he could be Mayor of Cleveland or Governor of Ohio if he helped to build a Cavaliers' Dynasty. If he left for more money and fame, he risks losing his reputation, and no guarantee that he will succeed elsewhere.

3) The Knicks are terrible, they have been for several years. They are over the salary cap, and already have to pay a luxury tax. What makes people think they will be able to afford LeBron down the line? Even if there are expiring contracts in the future, the team most likely (based on past and present tendencies) to overpay for over the hill players. Why would LeBron want to go into a no-win situation like that? I'm sorry, but he has a better chance to win a championship with the Cavs than he does making the playoffs with the Knicks.

I will post more on this..if you read Brian Windhorst's blog (on the side) or read his columns, you will realize that he is pretty good at what he does, and he has talked before about how journalists (or pseudo journalists) do not really understand the salary cap in the NBA, nor do they really understand LeBron, his desire to win in Cleveland, or his contract..I'll talk more about Windhorst in another blog.

Here is a question again..should the Plain Dealer cover a website that is made for Knicks' fans, and clearly will only make Cleveland sports' fans more upset about its history?
