LeBron Eyes New York Knicks in Potential Final Season

LeBron James has not decided if he will play a 24th NBA season in 2026-27, and a move to the New York Knicks is being floated. ESPN sources say the Knicks would weigh whether it is worth altering a core that is "building together" for probably one season of James, who has ties to the organization through coach Mike Brown, president Leon Rose, and William Wesley. The choice could reshape New York’s roster and the chase for a first title since 1973. Merlin sees the allure and the risk. Adding James would thrust the Knicks into pure win-now mode and, as ESPN put it, "That would make for the highest of thrills if James and New York actually won the title." But grafting a legend onto a young core for a brief run could backfire if injuries or chemistry shortchange the quest.
