New York Knicks

Yes…YES! Let’s do this, LeBron. You think LeBron James is one of the most polarizing and maligned players on the planet right now? Well, let’s not only toss him right into the heart of New York City, but let’s also pair him up with Phil Jackson. We probably haven’t seen true hatred for LeBron until we’ve seen him become the new king of New York City.

LeBron could head off to New York, fit himself into the triangle and finally ease the mind of his buddy Carmelo Anthony. It’s not a Big Three like there was in Miami, but James pairing himself up with a player the likes of Carmelo Anthony would be more than enough to have people rolling their eyes at James once again just trying to manufacture himself a ring.

Now, before you think LeBron can’t win with the Knicks, even with ‘Melo on the team, please let’s all remember: LeBron has already won with the Knicks to an extent. Just this month he managed to guide Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith and Timofey Mozgov to the NBA Finals — and they won two games against an unstoppable Warriors team.

Strictly for entertainment purposes, this might be the best move of them all.
