For the fourth time in his 23-season career, LeBron James is hitting the open market. And this time, his agent happens to have a podcast.
As such, it was only natural that Rich Paul would address his most famous client’s free agency during the latest episode of Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul. But as he used a whiteboard to dissect James’s potential destinations, he also revealed that the visual aid wouldn’t have been necessary had this past NBA postseason played out differently.
“If the Knicks hadn’t won, there would be no board,” Paul said. “He’d be going to the Knicks.”
That’s not to say New York is now out of contention; Paul also revealed the Knicks have checked in on his star client’s availability.
Still, Paul called attention to the scrutiny James would inevitably face if he joined the reigning NBA champions, especially if New York was unable to repeat with him on the roster.
