Knicks Insider Drops Bomb on LeBron James Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For years, LeBron James has been tangled up with a move to the New York Knicks. He's raved about playing at Madison Square Garden, and he even admitted that he was close to signing with them when he joined the Miami Heat.

No, there's no three-team deal involving the Lakers, Heat and Cavs. That account is meant to go viral with falsehoods that closely resemble reality. James began his NBA career in Cleveland, left for Miami, then returned to the Cavs and won a title. He has been with the Lakers since he left the Cavs a second time.
