What I'm talking about is Lebron's skewed perception of the situation, which is tainted by his arrogance and ego.
Mark it down: if Lebron goes his entire career without a title, he will still be insisting during interviews that "you all have seen what I can do," etc., and talking about how great he is. It's not going to stop him from thinking he's the best player, even though he'll be wrong.
But that's sort of tangential to the point anyway. The point is that because of his ego, I really don't think he's going to even slightly base his decision on the ages of the other good players on the team he goes to. That's not what a dude like "the King" is concerned with.

It seems the crux of the of the disagreement is that I give Lebron way more credit for having a realistic big picture view of things.
Lebron leaving Cleveland, where he as deep roots, for Dallas would be in itself an admission that he needs help. You don't have to go far from that point to assume that he's look at the age of the help.
Time will tell. If he's as egocentric as you say the Knicks are the only play.
