James will famously hit the free agent market after the season. "I think at the end of the day, a max deal or anything like that doesn't really matter to me at the end of the day. It's all about winning for me," James said. "So I've put myself in a position that when that day comes next summer, I want to win, and if I feel like the team is capable of winning, I'll make my decision like that." If LeBron considers signing with a team for less than a maximum contract, as unlikely as it may seem, the 2010 offseason could change drastically. The Cavaliers can offer James the most money, roughly $120 million over six years. The Knicks and Nets also have the cap room to offer him the largest deal possible, which would be a little less than $100 million over five years.

This is the stage he wants to play on," Sabathia said. "And I think he'll be great here." "I'm trying. I'm trying hard," he said of recruiting LeBron. "By doing these interviews and doing these different things, I'm trying hard."

LeBron James and the Cavaliers played at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. "Honestly? All the press and all the hoopla about free agency that comes in July is starting to bother me," Walsh told the New York Times. "Because there's an innuendo I don't care about the players on this team. And that's simply not true. And this is not a throwaway season, and I never said it was. So no, I don't like it." James drew more cheers from fans in New York on Friday than any of the Knicks. Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Nash Wants Stoudemire In Phoenix
Nash signed an extension this past offseason so that he wouldn't hit the free agent market in 2010. Stoudemire has the power to opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent after the season. "I just want him to enjoy the year," Nash told the Boston Globe. "Get his full health and confidence back and have a great season. If he does that and he's enjoying his game and we have a productive year, we can worry about that stuff after that. But if we worry about that now and don't have a great year, we have our priorities mixed up." Stoudemire has nothing but love for Phoenix. "Ever since I have been a rookie, I have been blessed with great teammates. The city as well has embraced me. I enjoy the city of Phoenix but you never know what the future holds," he said.

I want to make sure we're getting somebody who will give attention to these kids and help them. He's got a lot of commitments."
