Will he trek out to the suburbs so he can spread his wings in a sprawling mansion, like 50 Cent? Or will he be boring and just get a pad out near the Knicks practice facility in Greenburgh?

We were on the road Friday when the Knicks blew up their nucleus, shipping Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford to the Clippers and Warriors, respectively, in return for contracts that expire in 2010 so that New York can make a run at LeBron. Good news on the jersey front: 22 and 24 are retired – 23 is available.

LeBron visits the Garden Tuesday and you’re nuts if you don’t think he’s looking to drop a half a hundred on Wilson Chandler or whatever inferior defender draws the assignment. This really is shaping up as a terrific sports week: MNF tonight plus Maui action, LeBron in NY Tuesday plus college hoops galore, even more college hoops Wednesday, three NFL games Thursday plus awesome food, and Friday and Saturday wrap up the college football regular season.

Cleveland is totally the new Philadelphia. Titleless and hopeless.
