With a weak roster and Kristaps Porzingis rehabbing a torn ACL, you don’t need Columbo to tell you the Knicks have literally no shot at luring LeBron to MSG this summer.
Earlier this week, a billboard recruiting LeBron to New York popped up directly across from Madison Square Garden.

Can you blame Knicks fans for trying? Dating back to the 90’s, Knicks fans daydreamed about Michael Jordan joining the orange and blue.
According to JR, henny thing is possible, except for LeBron joining the Knicks this summer courtesy of the NY Daily News.
“Nah, don’t think so. Can’t see it (happening),” Smith told the Daily News with a laugh after the Cavs worked out at Basketball City at Pier 36 on South Street. “But that’s cool, though, man. A lot of cities have tried that already with (a billboard). But we’ll see what happens.”
MSG may be LeBron’s “favorite playground” but the window for LeBron to New York died in the summer of 2010. James flirted with New York, he released sneakers in an orange and blue colorway, and even announced “The Decision” less than an hour away from the Knicks practice facility. Still no dice, the Knicks are wrapping up their 4th consecutive season with 50+ losses.
