It was inconceivable when this NBA season tipped off that there could be another team with more pressure upon it to win than Dwyane Wade's LeBron James-infused MiamiHeat, also featuring Chris Bosh.
But when an owner decides to gut his team's productive and promising starting lineup, mortgages part of his team's future and appears to emasculate the two men he entrusted the running of his team to in order to bring in -- for all intent and purpose -- one player, that team moves to the top of the must-win list.
As a result, that was where owner James Dolan's New York Knicks moved late Monday night when word began to spread that the season-long soap opera about where Denver star Carmelo Anthony would be traded. Anthony's saga was coming to a crescendo off Broadway in Dolan's Madison Square Garden, where Amar'e Stoudemire moved in the offseason and is having a fabulous year.
