If not for NBA title, LeBron James might already be headed to Knicks

Rich Paul, the agent for free agent LeBron James, said the New York Knicks have contacted him to gauge James’ interest in joining the reigning NBA champions.

During an episode of the Netflix podcast “Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul,” Paul displayed a whiteboard with a list of options and teams that the NBA’s all-time leading scorer could play for after he informed the Los Angeles Lakers that he would not be returning there for a ninth season.

Paul’s whiteboard had 10 teams on it, including the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets.

Another one of the teams discussed was the Knicks, whose dominant playoff run led to their first championship in 53 years and has spurred NBA teams to rethink their rosters this offseason.
