The New York Knicks won their ninth straight game, defeating the Pacers 109-105. Jalen Brunson entered the MVP conversation and became a first-time All-Star.
The team is in second place in the East, half a game behind the Bucks. Tom Thibodeau could coach in the All-Star Game. The Knicks are on a roll, so why ruin a good thing? The front desk has until February to make minor updates to the list. I have 8 deadlines, but none of them are important.
This is a trade that shouldn’t be on Leon Rose’s radar for LeBron James. On Thursday, KTLA sports reporter David Pingalore sent out a tweet that shook the entire NBA landscape. On Friday morning, LeBron’s agent Rich Paul told ESPN that the superstar has not requested a trade and that the Lakers will not trade him before the deadline.
However, Stephen A. Smith doesn’t want to push New York into a LeBron trade. Stephen A. Smith wants the Knicks to trade Lakers superstar LeBron JamesLeBron has a $51.5 million player option for 2024-25, so it’s unlikely he’ll play for a new team next season.
That doesn’t mean he’ll be traded before the deadline, but the offseason could be interesting for one of the greatest players of all time.
It seems unlikely that LeBron will be traded next week, and even if the Lakers are listening to offers, the Knicks have not been allowed any contact.Stephen A. You spend a lot of time dreaming of landing a deal with a star in New York, but you don’t realize how much it will cost you. The Knicks are the hottest team in the league, and trading LeBron would require the organization to uncover assets and disrupt the team structure.
However, there is no guarantee that he will stay until the end of the 2023-2024 season.This is not 2010. Regardless, LeBron is still playing at a high level, but New York is building something special for the future. It doesn’t match the timeline.
As good as he was, the Knicks may look back and regret trading LeBron. Oh, and New York already has stars in Brunson and Julius Randle. Should we stop forcing the Knicks to trade and evaluate their current lineup? I’d rather drive Leon Rose than Steven A.
