Despite Eastern Conference Finals days away, Knicks being mentioned as LeBron James’ suitor

Questions will continue to be prevalent about what LeBron James wants to do in the future of his NBA career. There are a slew of options that James can choose from, including retirement, re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, or going to free agency.

At this stage of his career, there's absolutely nothing else James has to prove, so playing would just be to continue competing at a very high level.

While he isn't what he once was, and nobody should blame him for that, considering he's 41 years old, he's still a really good player and, on the right team, can still be a very big supporting piece of a championship squad.

It's possible that the Lakers don't want to bring him back, as crazy as that might sound, but the Luka Doncic situation is definitely there. Doncic probably deserves to get his own team, and the Lakers might prefer that.

Searching for potential landing spots if the Lakers want to go in that direction or James believes he'd be better suited elsewhere, the New York Knicks continue to come up.

“Our final choice could be considered a toss-up between several potential suitors for James. Golden State and Dallas present enticing situations, but the New York Knicks offer James the greatest chance to compete for a title among the three teams previously mentioned.

“The Knicks, who are currently awaiting their Eastern Conference Finals opponent after sweeping the Philadelphia 76ers, could greatly benefit from the addition of James, pairing him alongside the likes of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns and company,” Ethen Hutton of SI wrote.

The Knicks having James would be a lot of fun, at least from a fan standpoint. He'd pack out Madison Square Garden every single night, even more than it already is, if that's even possible.

However, from a team standpoint, there's just no reason for the Knicks to even consider this. The Knicks are playing like the best team in the Eastern Conference right now and are just four wins away from heading to the NBA Finals.
