Einige Sources sehen Joe Johnson schon sicher bei den Knicks .

Find aber leider keine Quelle mehr
Quelle (NY Daily News)There is a growing sentiment among opposing team executives that at the very least the Knicks will sign Atlanta's Joe Johnson, whose agent, Arn Tellem, orchestrated the Tracy McGrady trade to the Knicks and has been friends with Walsh for 20 years. It's called a "wink-wink deal," and even though it is against NBA rules, the practice does exist and is nearly impossible to police.
"I think that's a done deal," said one Eastern Conference GM.
If Walsh can't land either James or Dwyane Wade but ends up with Johnson, another option is luring Toronto's Chris Bosh in a sign-and-trade. Sources claim the Raptors would be open to such a deal if it included David Lee.

CBSSports.com schrieb:Jackson’s intention to return as long as he’s healthy will have a profound impact on the potential 2010 free agent everyone has forgotten about: Kobe Bryant. The four-time champion decided not to terminate his contract after last season, but the extension he was subsequently expected to sign with Lakers has not come to fruition.
Bryant has steadfastly refused to discuss his contract situation this season, and his agent, Rob Pelinka, did not respond to a request for comment. But until Jackson’s situation was clarified Friday, executives around the NBA had come to believe that it would be unwise to assume Bryant was a shoo-in to re-sign with the Lakers this summer rather than exercise his player option for $24.8 million and join the elite free-agent class that also included LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
“He’s definitely in the mix,” one GM told me recently. “What if they don’t win it this year and what if he’s [ticked] off at Dr. Buss for not re-signing Phil Jackson or he’s sick of playing with whoever and he says, ‘You know what? I’m gonna go put on a New York Knick jersey.’ All of sudden he and Mike D’Antoni hook up in New York and they can talk some Italian.
“Don’t rule him out if LeBron says no to New York,” the GM said.

Jackson returning next season would remove a significant tipping point in Bryant’s decision to leave $25 million on the table July 1 and accept significantly less as an unrestricted free agent. Speculation that Bryant would stay in Staples Center and sign with the Clippers are farfetched, according to sources who believe New York is the only place Bryant would go if he left the Lakers.
“There’s a greater chance he crosses the country and goes to New York than he crosses the hallway and goes to the Clippers,” one executive said. “He can use the Clippers all he wants, but he’s not going to the Clippers -- unless he gets to pick his own coach and GM or something like that. I had no inkling that he would leave the Lakers last summer. Now, New York could be a legitimate option. I wouldn’t rule it out.”

LeBron: 'I Won't Stop' Until I Bring Title To Cleveland
"I got a goal, and it's a huge goal, and that's to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland," James said. "And I won't stop until I get it."
