Conspiracy Theory
James for three, Wade for three and Anthony for three? What's the big deal you ask? Well, how about where's the commitment?
James, Wade and Anthony are the present and future of the NBA. (or until O.J. Mayo shows up)
What happened to wanting to be able to retire for the team you were drafted by?
Are these guys that money hungry and have that much clout to demand and get only a three-year deal?
Bird, Johnson, Robinson...the list goes on and on of players who stuck by one team in basketball, and whose jersey hangs in the rafters.
I'm guessing the only reason the current three-headed monster want a three year deal is to play together. Maybe the Knicks, but who knows.
These guys came into the league together and were instantly engulfed by success.
The organizations were reborn under their draft choices, and Miami was the first to win a championship.
Maybe these guys want to dominate daily, challenge the 72-win plateau set by the 90s Bulls and go down in history as the greatest TEAM ever.
Everything I read points out that the Knicks organization/team (although it's the joke of the league now) is the place to play.
But why would these three guys want to do that.
I know there are certain limitations on contract size depending on years played and age, but in three years these guys are going to be about 25-27-years old.
By the time James, Wade and Anthony turn 35 they might have close to eight titles.
Then who would be the greatest of all time?
Would it, could it still be Jordan?
