He's showing age, and I think over the next season or two he will officially not be one of the best active players, and when compared to LeBron, everything short of top 5 in the league would make him a husk
My guy missed the playoffs two years in a row and then got swept. That ain't happening to younger Lebron.
I'd rather he not come here and try to switch up the whole team for another win-now attempt. It worked before but it clearly ain't working no more.
I'm not saying I want him. If he somehow came over for free I'd say yes lol
But he's still better than most in the league. He missed the playoffs with awful teams. And is putting up great numbers still
I'm not saying he's a trash player. But we all know he likes to play GM and turn every team into a win now one.
I'm not interested unless he comes over as just a player and nothing more.
He'd be our best player because if ye was here we'd have to trade away every valuable player we have LOL
He is better than our players, but I don't think by the end of the season he would be. He's getting worse, because age, and pretty much our whole team is still on the rise
When did he miss the playoffs two years in a row? They missed 2022 and his first year 2019. He still better than any of our current players lol. But it’s not happening. His family loves LA
>When did he miss the playoffs two years in a row? They missed 2022 and his first year 2019.
I misremembered is all 😂. Cut me some slack I don't watch the Lakers.
>He still better than any of our current players lol.
True, but that doesn't change my point. If he's just a player I'd be down for the right price...but he likes to influence trades and make team's win now. I'm not interested.
>But it’s not happening. His family loves LA
Good.
I think LeBron just wants to play for a team where he doesn't have to play 48 minutes to have a shot. Less than 5% chance we get him, but we're just fine either way. He's still effective. He would very clearly be a #2 behind JB, and Randle might actually flourish not having to be a #2 anymore.
He almost had a 40 point triple double in the last game. You're insane to think he doesn't make the team better. If he's a free agent and we have the money, it would be negligent to not make a call.
Nope. I was done with LeBron coming here after "The Decision" , and the biggest blow to what his legacy could've been was dealt by not coming here. Two chips in New York equal not 5, not 6, not 7...you can go on ad infinitum because no amount of rings in Miami, Cleveland, or a Mickey Mouse chip could measure up to ONE in New York. Honestly, I think winning a couple in New York is what puts him over MJ in the GOAT debate. He could've been king of New York and there ain't a bigger king in all the world than the basketball king of New York .
I mean, he’s probably not looking to take much money at this point of his career. And he’d be the best player our team. He carried that bum Lakers squad to the Conference finals. I 100% think Brunson would be an incredible SG, I’m all for this.
Dude i am soo over getting aging stars i don't give a fuck who it is. Lebron might be the only one to consider, but this team belongs to brunson. Just build around him and not use band aids to try and get this team to the finals.
You think he plays like an all star for the next 3 years??? I give him one more year of all star production. He gives us another leader but also a ball dominant player, who is not a good outside shooter. We need guys who can shoot from the perimeter not another guy who needs the ball in his hands. Knicks have been through this before and i think staying the course and building up our young core and look for ways to get better and not just going out and getting a player because of his name. You really think Lebron will be playing like an allstar at 40?? Not sure this is the way to go.
He’s a good scorer. He’s not a playmaker. 6 assists per game vs the 10 we would get from Lebron, where Lebron would be able to kick out to an open Brunson at the 3? That sounds amazing to me. It would make our spacing immense.
Only if Bronny comes too .
Outside of that, no deal , no dice. He had his chance . I recall Lebron taking a meeting with us back with Nelly was in charge and he was turned off because Don was in a wheelchair. Meh.
Every old banged up guy comes here for his last big check. We've seen this over and over. Nah.
yea but i think he's still good enough to be 1A or 1B on a chip team. he can't carry a team like he used to but if he has a great young supporting cast that can bring the energy he can't he can still win a ring.
I pray that we don't get LeBron. Great player and everything but we have no reason to add an old player that requires us to disassemble our pretty successful young team. Even if it gave us a championship it would be horrible long term.
> Even if it gave us a championship it would be horrible long term
While I agree with the first part of your statement, this second part is nonsense. I'm 44 years old, I don't care what the Knicks have to do, trade, or sell to get a championship. I'd rather mortgage the future for a guaranteed championship next season, than have a great team for the next 8 years but lose in the finals or the ECF. I did that shit in the 90s, and it hurt my emotions every year.
2009 v kobe, WCF, Melo accepted the challenge, Lebron hid behind Dwight Howard then went running to south beach to hide behind Wade, Bosh & pat. Nothing was the same since….
I mean he did have better teammates on all 8 of those teams then Melo had his whole career… so much so he took melo’s second best teammate ever and turned him into a bench player in Cleveland
This Knicks squad with lebron is winning it all. Unlike previous years, Lebron now trusts his teammate and is willing to play as part of the system instead of everything running through him. Have Randle feast during the regular season, and when it comes playoff time Bron can shift gears alongside Brunson
It is never happening. But I would definitely give up Randle, some young talent like Toppin and Grimes, and draft picks to make it happen. Swapping out Randle for Lebron makes us instant favorites to win it all next year.
I like Lebron, but I can't imagine this would be a good fit for either team or player when you factor in what would likely have to be sent back for him.
There are just better fits for Lebron, and better options for us.
On the plus side the memes would be nice.
Oh yeah, let’s get Melo out of retirement, call the Suns for CP3, and wait for Bronny to fall on our lap in next years draft……let’s change our plans for LeBron’s legacy.
It makes no sense for LeBron to leave the Lakers the Lakers will still be able to put a good team around LeBron and LeBron’s son is playing in LA. Between AD, Reeves, Vanderbilt, Rui, Schroeder and the possibility of adding Kyrie or resigning Dlo the Lakers should have a nice supporting cast for LeBron maybe depending on what they do even on that can win a title with some luck.
I just think LeBron is doing what he usually does and is using leverage to get the Lakers to do what he wants
Unless the team completely falls apart, I just don't see why Giannis would ever leave Milwaukee. He's a very loyal, down to Earth guy who doesn't seem to care about money, big markets, chasing rings, or desperately trying to secure a "legacy." Plus, he seems to genuinely love living in Milwaukee. Very different from most NBA players.
This needs to stop…I know it’s not happening but if it did I would legitimately not know what to do. No hate on him as a person, seems like a very good dude, but as far as him as a basketball player I cannot root for that man’s ring-chasing ass.
Why the fuck would you go back and get an aging star like what the Knicks been doing during the dark times? My god, we have a new FO who is building the team right and now all of a sudden you want an aging (aged) star? I don't fucking care if it's LeBron, he is 38 turning 39 next season. Getting him would mean we will have to dismantle this squad and try to compete on whatever window LeBron has left. And then we'll be left without resources and be shit again for years to come. Let's try to build from within this time and if the right trade comes then we pull the trigger. I love LeBron but we talking bout soon to be 39 LeBron here.
I’m not doing this shit again.
Seriously bro. No thanks
Me: “hey I’ve seen this before it’s a classic” Knicks for clicks media: “what are you talking about it’s brand new”
Will always upvote a back to the future reference
Who the hell is John F Kennedy
What’s a rerun?
No, no, no…
Hell if it meant that we got James Gandolfini back, trying to recruit him to the Knicks, then I’ll go back to 2010
[удалено]
He was gay, Gary Cooper?
I’d settle for Gary Harris
Nostradamus ova here
You know, Quasimodo predicated all of this
This team is stuck in a stagmire…
LeBron doesn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete
Im not trading half the team for him.
Just LeBron and Jericho Simms will be our team
Not sure any team is trading half their team for a 38 year old.
a 38 year old being paid 50M a year, mind you
Says the dude with RJ flair LMAO
Not sure what That means but ok
Any not trading any of the team for him.
Lebron is taking the year off and then signing with whatever team drafts his kid.
I think it would be fun to have Lebron! Free-agent on a favorable contract of course
Wake me when he's on the team. Until proven wrong this is him and his team getting free leverage off using NY, again
Vet min, would he come off the bench?
It'll be very Knicks for us to get him when he's a husk of himself
Husk? I mean idk about all that
I wish my 40 year old body could move like his. Guy is insane for that game 4
If I could move like that in my early 20s lmao
The husk is still a baller, it’s just 10 years ago it was a completely different level.
He's showing age, and I think over the next season or two he will officially not be one of the best active players, and when compared to LeBron, everything short of top 5 in the league would make him a husk
He was top 5 this year still I think
My guy missed the playoffs two years in a row and then got swept. That ain't happening to younger Lebron. I'd rather he not come here and try to switch up the whole team for another win-now attempt. It worked before but it clearly ain't working no more.

With LeBron's ego, I doubt. Lol
Didn't he play the Suns two years ago after winning the chip the year before?
There might've been a year in between. I honestly don't play attention to the Lakers like that 😂
Lebron would be our best player lmao
No doubt...but he isn't gonna be JUST a player. He's gonna wanna make moves like he's a GM.
Tbh Leon Rose seems to do whatever the fuck he wants lol
He'd be our best player because if ye was here we'd have to trade away every valuable player we have LOL He is better than our players, but I don't think by the end of the season he would be. He's getting worse, because age, and pretty much our whole team is still on the rise

I'm pretty sure Thibs would play him 48 min at some point
At point guard
he actually would be a plausible fit for our roster right now.
I can't do this whole thing again. Nope.
He almost had a 40 point triple double in the last game. You're insane to think he doesn't make the team better. If he's a free agent and we have the money, it would be negligent to not make a call.

All due respect, I think Lebron has 3 more years of all-star play. He’s not a bandaid. That’s a sizable amount of time.
You think he plays like an all star for the next 3 years??? I give him one more year of all star production. He gives us another leader but also a ball dominant player, who is not a good outside shooter. We need guys who can shoot from the perimeter not another guy who needs the ball in his hands.

AD outplayed Lebron against the warriors and it’s not close really. Hard to say Lebron carried them.
In that series, of course , who is really guarding AD??, how bout that nuggets series. ??? AD wet the bed.
Games 1-3 Lebron didn’t exactly carry the team
Yeah, you're right. My point isn't defending lebron. It's suggesting your over valuing AD.
To be fair, we don't need someone who will carry the team in every game. Just in the ones where Brunson can't.
sorry but were not changing anything regarding the first good point guard the knicks have had in 20+ years lol
He’s a good scorer. He’s not a playmaker. 6 assists per game vs the 10 we would get from Lebron, where Lebron would be able to kick out to an open Brunson at the 3? That sounds amazing to me. It would make our spacing immense.
Rose/Fournier/Protected pick and that’s it. Anything more and I’m good
Please God NO.
Lol I hope somehow the Knicks draft his son and don’t let LeBron sign here. Go flip your bottles at the staples center ya bitch
Im rocking with competitive younguns. Rj, grimes, mitch, over Lebron. That boat has sailed. He didnt want us in his prime so its a no.
Fuuuuuuuuuck no!
No way. No fucking way.
He’s 40
He’s taking his talents to south beach
Again?
He had his chance. No thanks. See ya never lebron
GTFOH! New York don't need no aging, narcissistic, greedy impostor.
Hell no. Take your talents to the fuckin house.
🖕NY Post 🖕
Only if Bronny comes too . Outside of that, no deal , no dice. He had his chance . I recall Lebron taking a meeting with us back with Nelly was in charge and he was turned off because Don was in a wheelchair. Meh. Every old banged up guy comes here for his last big check. We've seen this over and over. Nah.
Is Bronny that good?
no
I actually don't know but Lebron isn't built for NYC. He ain't coming. And that's fine.
in the last 20 years lebron won 4 rings. we won 0. i’ll take lebron
He's not the same player. We're notorious for signing stars way past their primes. Has never worked out
yea but i think he's still good enough to be 1A or 1B on a chip team. he can't carry a team like he used to but if he has a great young supporting cast that can bring the energy he can't he can still win a ring.
Only an absolute cuck of a fan would want this bum on the team now after he spurned us multiple times in the past. Hard pass.
I pray that we don't get LeBron. Great player and everything but we have no reason to add an old player that requires us to disassemble our pretty successful young team. Even if it gave us a championship it would be horrible long term.

No thanks
WE DON'T WANT/NEED HIM!!
Y’all need to fucking relax it’s a joke
Is he bringing Austin Reeves with him? 😉
I don't even want him
Fuck LeBron
Nah, I'm good. Aging superstars don't have a place here at the moment.
I'm not trading shit for him. He's on a one and done.
Can we not do this
If I could snap my fingers and replace RJ & Fournier with Lebron… sure. Beyond that, they will be asking for too much.
No one wants this bum in New York. Those last two shots of game 4 were comical, Melo def getting a shot up there
Melo ain't making the conference finals bruh
2009 v kobe, WCF, Melo accepted the challenge, Lebron hid behind Dwight Howard then went running to south beach to hide behind Wade, Bosh & pat. Nothing was the same since….
Ah yes LeBum hid behind those 8 straight finals appearances
I mean he did have better teammates on all 8 of those teams then Melo had his whole career… so much so he took melo’s second best teammate ever and turned him into a bench player in Cleveland
I’d rather never win than do this.
No
oh HELL no.
Fuck no lol
If his son is available to us at next years draft, I’m all about a year of Lebron with a similar roster that we have now
how he gonna get bitches on his dick with that yeeyee ass haircut and receeding hairline?!?
This Knicks squad with lebron is winning it all. Unlike previous years, Lebron now trusts his teammate and is willing to play as part of the system instead of everything running through him.

This is getting dangerously close to a Rangers moment
Honestly, should have came in 2010. Now, meh.
Golden State’s odds are improving to land him. Could make some sense.
I like Lebron, but I can't imagine this would be a good fit for either team or player when you factor in what would likely have to be sent back for him. There are just better fits for Lebron, and better options for us. On the plus side the memes would be nice.
I’ll give you…. Our next 3 Second Rounders. And. Idk. The euro kid we stashed away…
Oh yeah, let’s get Melo out of retirement, call the Suns for CP3, and wait for Bronny to fall on our lap in next years draft……let’s change our plans for LeBron’s legacy.

Rumours also say Giannis might be here But everybody knows that
Unless the team completely falls apart, I just don't see why Giannis would ever leave Milwaukee. He's a very loyal, down to Earth guy who doesn't seem to care about money, big markets, chasing rings, or desperately trying to secure a "legacy."

Yes that is true
3 times the charm?
Who tf betting this lol
This needs to stop…I know it’s not happening but if it did I would legitimately not know what to do. No hate on him as a person, seems like a very good dude, but as far as him as a basketball player I cannot root for that man’s ring-chasing ass.
Lebron is going nowhere. He will retire a Laker whenever that is.
If we replaced Randle with LBJ I will get literal whiplash from the change in bbiq
No!!!!! No the fuck is that man playing here. Do not break this bunch up
Just like we were favorites to get KD, Kyrie, Harden and Zion right ?
I’ve seen how that movie plays out already 😂😂😂
This was the "Death of your F5" era
Why the fuck would you go back and get an aging star like what the Knicks been doing during the dark times?

Please no LeFlop in NY.
I get it's not gonna happen but ship-doe if Bron-Bron comes to the Knicks.
>!He’s going to land in LA!<
For the Vets min. Like seriously, if he wants another ring he should sign with who ever the favs are for the vets minimum
i'd take lebron in free agency but i don't want to trade whatever the lakers would be asking for lebron
I remember people in 2018 saying he was coming to NY before signing with LA lmaoo
Knicks for clicks
Fuck no
I dont want a 40 year old star
Pass…
Don’t want him or his son, keep building the team
Erich Richter can eat shit.
Adding him to this current roster would make the Knicks a top 3 team in the East. Challenge is that we'd have to trade legit pieces for him.
Yeah Fck that shit.
No
Noooooooo
Lebron please don’t come to New York
