LeBron James Says Knicks Title Cost New York a Chance to Sign Him
The superstar confirmed he was prepared to move to New York in free agency if the team had not won a championship.
LeBron James confirmed on Monday that he would have signed with the New York Knicks this summer if the franchise had not captured a championship last season.
According to Yahoo Sports NBA, James was ready to make the move to New York, but the Knicks' recent title triumph ultimately altered his free-agency plans.
The admission completely changes the perspective surrounding James' offseason process and provides an unexpected bright spot for Eastern Conference rivals like the Philadelphia 76ers, who were spared from facing him in a New York uniform.
