The New York Knicks and the rest of the NBA are keeping an eye on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers after the King accepted his $52 million player option.

The possibility of James finishing his career elsewhere has now become a real possibility, and the Knicks were thrown into the thick of the rumor mill. However, the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy shut down the possibility of James coming to New York anytime soon.
