what should i use to entice them to come here?
Playing with Justin, with Rob Thomas (who as you say is going to be ridiculous when he gets back), with a pure PG in Malik Boothe (Norm will have no choice but to give him his minutes next year), with a beast of a big man who will protect them in Dele and getting to win and play at home at MSG. B/c fact of the matter is, with a piece or two, this team can go far, no matter who is coaching (see Jarvis coaching Fran's guys).
Throw on top of what Mkras has just said that if they make st. john's relevant again, which is much closer talentwise than our record shows, they will be the KINGS of the city, remembered with the kind of fondness that guys remember Mullin, Berry, Jax --- those guys didn't even win a title, and they are LEGENDS. If you get some guys to go with Malik, Rob, and JB with Dele, Paris, Larry, DJ helpin' out - this team could go far, would be the ONLY basketball team in NYC being talked about since the Knicks suck, and would be able to do so in front of all of their friends and fam from NYC. You can't tell me that it wouldn't be a fairytale for these kids to win in NYC at St. John's in front of their home crowd. What's the point of being a legend in Louisville or Pittsburgh when you have a chance to be a legend in your home town of the greatest city of the world?
