Mike Brown has taken over as the team's head coach to replace Tom Thibodeau. Adding a player like James in place of Towns could be the move that powers New York into the NBA Finals. It's not likely that the Knicks will make a move for James. However, it cannot be counted out.

Still, many are speculating or even predicting that James may not be on the team's roster come October. Brian Windhorst said on ESPN Cleveland that the superstar and the Lakers are "beginning to move apart" and that this is the beginning of the end of his time with the franchise (h/t Lakers Daily ).

LeBron James responded to just about everyone who had something to say about him practicing at the Cleveland Cavaliers' facility earlier this week.
