If the Los Angeles Lakers eventually make LeBron James available, one of the teams expected to be interested is the New York Knicks. The Knicks, whether they want to add James because of off-the-court reasons or because he's still one of the better players in the NBA, would be wise to show some sort of interest in him.

The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James have been the biggest story in the NBA rumor mill over the last week. His future with the team has been very much in doubt, but there have been no concrete reports about what the future may hold.

If LeBron James wants to add to his NBA championship ring collection, which features one fewer than the late Kobe Bryant and two less than Micahel Jordan, then he must seriously consider splitting from the Los Angeles Lakers.
