Ian Thomsen (SI.com) has joined the ranks of the other 253 million people who have published an opinion on LeBron’s next move.  It wouldn’t be a “Chosen city” article without mentioning New York and Chicago.  With regards to Miami (Really!?), I think he makes an interesting point that D-Wade and LeBron will never coexist since they both need to be “Number 1″.  As I’ve mentioned before, I think those two should strongly consider creating an empire together.  He also offers a case for New Jersey (horrible) and Portland (please God no!).

In the end, however, Thomsen became worthy of Kyrandallo.com for going out on a limb and offering the Dallas Mavericks as his “dark horse”:

They are the dark horse, and they should be taken very seriously. They don’t have cap space, but they do have an ambitious owner with a tradition of spending big in hope of winning championships, they have James’ good friend Jason Kidd at point guard and they have a future Hall of Famer in Dirk Nowitzki – and how would rivals match up against a front line of Dirk and LeBron? If James tells the Cavs he is leaving, wouldn’t they prefer to participate in a sign-and-trade to retrieve assets from Dallas instead of enabling James to freely join with an Eastern conference rival like Chicago, New York or Miami? It stands to reason that Cleveland would much rather see James move to the West than remain in the East to haunt them. The Mavs have enough depth to work a sign-and-trade and still compete for the championship next year, especially since they could employ their mid-level exception to fill in with tough-minded role players. I guarantee that Mark Cuban was cheering loudly for Boston Thursday night.

I’ll be the first to admit that LBJ in DFW is probably not going to happen.  In the end, something anticlimactic will probably happen such as a resign with Cleveland.  However, Dirk and LeBron (as MAVERICKS!) in the AAC would be pure sex!

I came across this article (Seriously, read it!) by ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski earlier this morning.  At first, I brushed it off as something that would never happen.  However, before I was finished reading, I realized that it COULD actually happen.  Three of the top NBA players could actually come together to form one of the scariest teams in NBA history.  Gene contends, very simply, that all three of them are already insanely wealthy.  ”How rich is LeBron James? Put it this way: When God needs some walking-around money, he borrows it from LBJ.”  He’s right!  These guys have ridiculous amounts of money.

But…

What they don’t have is much assurance or hope for multiple championship trophies.  King James and Chris Bosh could theoretically never win a championship.  Dwyane Wade (Shaq) may have already got his, but do you really think he’s happy with just one?  Why don’t these guys sacrifice the god-like payday and come together to form an unstoppable empire?  I’d hate to see it happen on account of my Mavericks, but I’d certainly watch every game.  How freaking incredible would that be?

C’mon Mark Cuban, maybe you can make this happen…
