Turkeys of the Year: Knicks and Nets

Going to be posting the biggest Turkeys in sports today.

Easy one to start with: Fans/Management of the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets.

The most pathetic part about the management of both these teams is they think they have any chance of luring Lebron James or even Dwayne Wade to New York. I'm sure Lebron is just dying to play on a team with Chris Duhon running the point (who’s shooting percentage is comparable to Michael J. Fox at a gun range) and Eddie Curry now back at center after losing a teenage-eating-disorder amount of weight. He’s like the guy on the cigarette commercials who literally has half a face.

And the 0-14 Nets? I'm sure Lebron would love to team up with the Chairman Yi and Rafer ‘skip-to-my-lou’ Alston over the Cavs roster. The Nets are as far from a championship caliber supporting cast as ANY team in the league.

I guess in this day and age in the NBA when your team can't draft or do anything right, you have to pray for a free agent year like 2010, and sacrifice an entire season to have cap room. If I was a fan of either team, I'd be furious about my team rolling out such a pathetic roster for 82 games at the slim hopes of attracting a superstar. Who in their right mind would pay for season tickets for these two teams coming into the season?
