NBA ratings have been declining since Jordan and you don’t think the NBA would prefer that LeBron, KD, AD, or Zion would’ve ended up in NY? Yall not even making sense
Once again, New York sells out regardless. No star in New Orleans or Cleveland you're risking contraction.
Knicks won 37 games in 03, can't justify that big of a fix. 33 games in 07, I believe the Knicks traded their pick away, but Seattle was moving to OKC and that doesn't do well without Durant. Won 36 of 66, the equivalent of about 45 games in '12 and made the playoffs.
And you're forgetting how bad the media wanted Bron to sign to NY from 08-10 most of his Decision vitriol is him not going to the legacy team to save MSG or chase Jordan's ghost in the house he built.
