LeBron James’ decision will have plenty of Knicks ramifications in their repeat hunt

The entire NBA world continues to wait.

The Knicks certainly aren’t excluded. 

Where LeBron James decides to play next year has massive ramifications across the league — whether it be linking up with Stephen Curry and the Warriors, a return to the Heat or Cavaliers, or a new chapter with the 76ers or Timberwolves. 

Those teams, per multiple reports, are considered the favorites as of Tuesday, with three of them in the Eastern Conference. Even at 41, James makes any team a contender — which means a potential new hurdle for the Knicks and their hopes to repeat as champions.
