Knicks SHUTDOWN LeBron To NY TRADE Reports… | Knicks News
The Knicks clearly have one agenda in mind to stockpile assets build this team the right way and trade for that disgruntled star that they want once they become available however it seems like the media has its own separate agenda because they continue to try to push one Superstar to the New York
Knicks you already know who I’m talking about LeBron James but thankfully a report recently came out suggesting that the New York Knicks were shutting down all of those reports we’re going to break down this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe
Button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started the Knicks are not interested in LeBron James could there be a better way to start off a show than with that new news with that announcement for the last
Few weeks ever since LeBron James came over here and the Pitcher was floating around with him with the New York Knicks towel around his neck there were so many reports suggesting that potentially the New York knck should look at trading for LeBron James is LeBron James sending a
Message that he wants to join the New York Knicks well thankfully after this recent report we can shut it all down shout out to the athletic for giving us the following information despite all the focus on James recent trip to New York where he sent all sorts
Of pro- Nick signals a league Source indicated the Nicks brass has not discussed the prospect of adding James but you know we couldn’t just stop there I had to get a little bit more information about the situation and I’m happy I did take a look at
This first of all again the towel over his neck it sent headlines around the the NBA a towel over somebody’s neck can we think about that for a second a towel of the New York Knicks was over his neck and it turned into a national story you
Got to be a superstar if you’re getting that type of attention for a towel moving on though as the Athletics author explains the Knicks won’t have cap room in free agency to make a run at James if he declines his 51.4 $4 million option and shredding salaries would mean
Parting ways with important rotation players the Knicks view the possibility as a serious setback to their long-term plans I think that may be the first time we’ve ever heard LeBron James mentioned with the phrase serious setback because let’s face it LeBron James added to any team usually mean that team is a
Championship Contender but unfortunately for LeBron James he’s getting older age and father time something that’s undefeated he can still look good and individually he still looks amazing I don’t know how he does it but LeBron James is also known for another thing making other players around him better
Making the team better while he’s been trying to do that he can’t sustain that for a season and it’s clear because the Lakers haven’t done that for a number of Seasons he can look good individually but the ability to affect his team make his team play better it seems like those
Days have passed them by so in my opinion trying to trade for LeBron James who would likely cost you a lot even right now makes no sense because you’d have to give up a lot he’s not the same player he used to be and you likely need
More pieces even after you add LeBron James at this stage in his career that’s why you have to make sure if you’re the New York Knicks you’re looking around the league for other players other opportunities things that make more sense than a LeBron James and thankfully
Leon Rose and the New York Knicks and this new front office they realize that they understand that they know that LeBron James is not the answer not anymore that time for LeBron to be in New York is gone if he wants to come here in free agency or we can steal him
I’m okay with that because I can recognize who he is his skill set his talent and what he’s still doing today but if you’re telling me that the New York Knicks should trade for LeBron James you must be out of your mind no way not
Today who do you think he is Luca Joker no way if those guys aren’t on the table then what are we talking about here LeBron James yes legendary career legendary still himself putting up numbers nobody thought he could do with the Lakers right now but that time for
Him with the Knicks has all but passed him by should have happened 10 years ago if it was going to happen now it’s an after thought please stop pushing this please stop pushing this narrative we don’t need him we don’t want him real New York Nick fans do not want to see
LeBron James in the garden maybe you want to see him as a fan visit the garden and you want to see a competitive game no fault for that but you don’t want to see him wear the orange and blue not now it would be distasteful in my
Opinion for the Knicks to even make that trade imagine the assets the Knicks would have to give up to swing a LeBron James trade and would they be better after they did that in my opinion it would be a big fat no because you likely have to give up Julius Randall Mitchell
Robinson and a couple of other key players that doesn’t make sense if you’re the New York Knicks you’re sacrificing so much in my opinion to get back a LeBron James who in this stage of his career is only going to give you just a little bit of LeBron that you’ve
Been accustomed to watching over these last few years and if you’re getting this much LeBron and trading this much for him does it make sense cuz in my opinion it doesn’t the Knicks clearly have an agenda in mind to trade for a star or Superstar player this off season
That’s why their stockpiling assets that’s why they were careful when they made these trades during the trade deadline to keep all of their first round picks and also keep all of those protected first round picks that they own as well too they did that for a reason because they want to make sure
When that disgruntled star whoever that star may be becomes available that they can go ahead and trade for that player if they want him or they covet him and I also understand that some players if their teams flame out or don’t do what they need to do in the playoffs may
Become trade Targets in the off season I understand that as well too I know how the game works potentially LeBron James could fit that bill I doubt it because I doubt the Lakers would ever let it get that far but honestly you never know
What can happen in the NBA but if I’m a betting man here and I’m putting my money on it I don’t think LeBron James will qualify as one of those disgruntled stars come this off season but there is likely going to be a lot of other stars available some Stars we’re not even
Thinking about right now because it seems crazy to think about them right now but maybe in a few months if their team doesn’t do what they need to do maybe it becomes a reality I would love a Devin Booker I would love a Donovan Mitchell I would love a Luca I would
Love a couple of these other players around the league but the only way we can start talking about them is if their teams don’t show up and honestly some of the teams we’re talking about Cleveland for instance do you have Fai that Cleveland’s going to show up this year
Do you have faith that Cleveland’s going to bring it in the playoffs because I don’t care what they’re doing in the regular season it’s the playoffs for them if they don’t convince Donovan this playoff series this postseason coming off they can wave goodbye to him because
He’s going to leave and all signs are going to point to him coming to the Big Apple him coming to New York and him really coming home joining the New York Knicks that’s a possibility you think if the Suns don’t do what they need to do that Devin Booker’s name won’t be
Mentioned I think you would be wrong if you believe that because he’s been there for so many years he’s a competitor and he wants to win and depending on what the other stars do on that team it could change everything for Devin Booker let’s not weigh that out as well all I’m
Saying is there’s going to be options there’s going to be many options for the New York Knicks this off season all they have to do is do what they’ve been doing be patient wait and see what how many and if that star they want becomes available whoever it may be they
Obviously have their favorites we named a few just now but anything can happen and the player you’re not even thinking about may become available and maybe that’s the new player the New York Knicks want we have to just be patient till the off season and wait and see what happens and who realistically
Becomes available for a trade but as of right now the Knicks have put themselves in perfect position to trade for that star if and when they become available Leon Rose worldwide West Gerson roses they all deserve praise from the entire fan base for the New York Knicks because
We’ve been wanting a team like this a competitive team with assets to boot we have all of that and going into this off season regardless of what happens we’re likely going into next season a better team think about that this team is not even at their apex not even at their
Ceiling they have a ways to go and potentially that ceiling could be the NBA Finals NBA Finals consistently year after year after after year that’s what I want as a Nick fan that’s what I want to cheer for as a Nick fan that’s what I
Want to go see as a Nick fan each and every year we’re on the cusp of that we’re close we are so so close and I can’t wait for Leon Rose and the Knicks to pull the trigger and get that player that we’ve all wanted and coveted for so
Long but thankfully that player is not going to be LeBron James but what about you guys what do you think about the media constantly and continuing to push this narrative that LeBron James needs to join the New York Knicks let me know in the comments Below guys because
Honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans peace
The New York Knicks already have their plan in mind, to ensure they have enough assets available to pull off a massive trade this offseason for a star or superstar player. But that specific player has been extremely hard to narrow down on. If you listen to the media, they have been pushing LeBron James to the Knicks for the last few weeks. It seems that Leon Rose and the Knicks have had enough of that. According to a recent report, New York shut down trade reports for LeBron, siginaling a new chapter of the franchise. Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Good to know
We don’t want him!!!!
Didn't want labron anyway i want mekel Bridges instead
He had opportunity in 2010 but he decided to go to Miami retreated all our assets to try to make a financial room for him and he left us waiting at the altar
No
Great news!! do not want no parts of LeBron James soon as he gets here he gonna try to trade people away cry every trade deadline you do not want LeBron James
UNTIL LEON ROSE AND JIM DOLAN SAYS IT AINT TRUE I STILL BELIEVE ANY THING IS POSSIBLE
I’d take his son before I take Lebron
BRIDGES IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR THE KNICKS THAN COMES LUCA AND THAN COMES DONVAN MITCHELL IF MITCHELL IS PLAYING DEFENSE LIKE THEY SAY HE IS I WILL TAKE HIM IN A MINUTE
That tread would never happen so you don't have to talking about it now
Truly, we don't need LeBron, we don't want him, stay with the Lakers.
I prefer Michael Jordan than LeBron 😂
He dissed us twice in the past and now that the Knicks are close to winning a chip he wants to join us. Hell no!!! We don't need your selfish butt. Stay in La La Land where you belong!!!
I'm sorry but no I'm so glad the new york knicks I haven't said no
Bruh we don't want that bum!!!
Best news i heard keep him away agree 100% Troy
Lebron.had his chance in 2010 its over bro retire you are a great player .you had a great career but we are very close to get this chip .LeBron James pass
Mikal bridges is the only one we need the last piece is missing ..not LeBron sorry
Screw LeBum Games!! We don't want that overrated cry baby on our beautiful non toxic team!
🔥🔥i agree with you, Bro.. Although, if its through free agenxy.. Hell yeah.. Otherwise, Respext to Leon Rose.. As you are governing the Knicks axxordingly 🌞🔥🔥
Hello l knicks fan good afternoon the big super estar the knicks need is LeBron james this option to sign LeBron james is coming free agent this summer the first option the hos draft bronny james. And trade Julius Randle or Michelle Robinson make salary scape contract to sign LeBron the only big super stars can give NBA final championship us
LeBron James And super stars
Leon Rose is using The George Costanza Rule of Opposites. The Old Knicks would back up the money truck to LeBron's house.
The New Knicks no longer take on old players, who want to use New York as a retirement home.
We don't need him he to old
Salute the Knicks recap the media is the cause of this LeBron trade to the Knicks and I know it's not going to happen so I'm not surprised respect one
Trade Mitchell Robinson he is a injury prone Mitchell Robinson can't stay healthy every year he injured
No to Lebron we don't want him he is 39 years old old man he turn us down 2010 we don't want him by
We can't blame LeBron James back in those days because this was garbage
Devin Brooker or Danavan Mitchell nobody else
M Bridges
Having LeBron here would be good because it would bring in other stars. Everybody keeps talking about Micheal Bridges. They’re not letting him go. We are not getting him. The sooner people realize that the better off will be.
💯 I’ve said this before and say it again. It’s like the hot chick that disses you in her 20’s and again in her 30’s and now wants to marry you in her 40’s and cost you money. Hard pass LBJ.
🔥🔥 love it keep him away from the Knicks
Man we have 3 1st round draft picks this year! Let's sit tight and if we are healthy I think we can win it all this year!
They're not going to gut their team for LeBron James. LeBron leaves the Lakers he's going to Mavs or Cavs. I think they want Bridges what cost less and is a J.b guy. Bronson is priority that's where you build around .
Might as well try and trade for MJ,Bird and Magic!
They know what they want to do. Leon gets better each year as an executive. I think in my younger days they made the playoffs 15 straight years and two finals..
Giannis might be the disgruntled star. the coaching disaster, trading away Jrue for Dame and having an old roster, and the flat out underachieving.
We don't need lebron, he's an shell of himself & super over-rated in which he still gets all the b.s calls from the referee's.
Please Troy respectfully do not give LeBron this type of attention he’s a has been already hopefully we can see more important Knicks news and information respectfully thank you Troy
