In all honesty, hasn't LeBron made Cleveland a pretty high market team itself?
Expect them to also be fairly busy this off-season bringing in more help in Cleveland.

Ben Wallace will be traded with draft picks for someone who is all-star caliber before the trade deadline.

B-Diddy in Cleveland could be nice.
Though they need a big man more than anything.

I'm not basketball expert or anything but aren't these guys greats but not "top-5 material". Would you take these guys over Bird, Russell, Kobe, Jordan, etc?

No, and a few of them were traded lol. Like Kidd wasn't even traded to a high market team? lol

The only way I'd consider NY is if they got another superstar there.
Who gives a crap about the market. I fail to see why that's such a big deal.

Jason Kidd is arguably a top 5 point of all time.

Shaq could be considered the most dominant big man to ever play the game above the likes of russell, wilt and cap. Oscar averaged a triple double in his sophmore year in the nba. No other player has done that.

Why do you care so much about new york? Are you wanting to Bandwagon to them if they get stars because the Lakers won't win again or something?

Shaq can you count though? He wouldn't have left if it weren't for Kobe
