LeBron James is not only the global spokesperson for the NBA, but he’s apparently got the inside track on more than a few of the big stories we’re all going to follow this NBA offseason.

One of the more interesting questions yet to be solved is what will the New York Knicks do at head coach, which dovetails into the questions about whether or not Kentucky Wildcats head coach John caliper will try his hand at NBA coaching again. While it seems like the Knicks and Calipari could deb a match, LeBron says it’d be surprising for him to make the leap this offseason.

Of course, we have no idea what Calipari will do and LeBron’s opinion is premature, albeit likely well informed. It’s going to be a story that everyone follows this offseason but if LeBron is right, it’ll be much ado about nothing in the end.
