to join the Miami Heat but his decision doesn't command who will be raising a championship banner this season.With all decisions made and rosters being set for 2010-11 I think the Lakers
will once again win the NBA Championship. Phil Jackson perhaps the greatest coach in sports history's job was made easier with a few underated off season moves. Steve Blake, Matt Barnes and veteran center Theo Ratliff are perfect additions to a Championship team.Yes Lebron, Wade and Bosh
will be a traveling circus all season but can they bring drama to the post season where they will have to go through the Boston Celtics? 
The Celtics have added Shaq and Jermaine O'neal to solidify the center postion which was their weak spot in the finals. Not being able to get key rebounds against a surprisingly tough Lakers tandem of big men The Celtics knew they had to get a force in the middle and they don't come bigger than the 4 time NBA Champion 
Shaq. It's going to be a interesting season but things might start looking the same in June.For those who are interested in my honorable mentions I'd like to say in the West look out for
Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. He can emerge as MVP this season and push the Lakers if they steal a few games from championship caliber clubs and get home court advantage in the playoffs for a couple of series. Last year Russel Westbrook showed flashes of wanting to enter the conversation as one of the leagues top point guards and seems ready to go toe to toe with the likes of Chris Paul and Deron Williams.As for the East the Celtics and Orlando Magic will be there to cool down the Heat. Dwight Howard
has worked with Hakeem Olajuwon all summer to work on basketball moves. If Howard can develope some up and under moves he can tilt the power scale all by himself. The Celtics and Magic are stronger than Miami in the post and both clubs will be looking to exploit that fact constantly.Believe me I'm not trying to gas myself up with possibilities but look out for my Knicks. We didn't get Lebron or Wade or Bosh or yata yata yata but somehow we came up with
Amare Stoudamire who has never had a losing season under head coach Mike D'Antoni. The Knicks have sacrificed years out of Knicks fans lives to put a product on the floor that can allow us to stand by the water cooler and not be afraid to admit who we cheer for.I'm not going to go into detail of how crazy it will get in NYC if Carmelo Anthony
joined the Knicks just yet but if it happens...
