The Knicks are a great team, but they don't have the top end talent to really compete for a title with their current core. If the Lakers decide to start over this summer and build around AD or go fully into tanking, they could decide to move LeBron. LeBron gives the Knicks the playmaking ability that Brunson lacks.
Projected Knicks Rotation
PG: Brunson SG: Divincenzo SF: Anunoby PF: LeBron C: Mitchell Robinson
