The Knicks are targeting Joe Johnson as their No. 1 free agent choice and believe he’s a better fit for the team than LeBron James, according to an NBA source with knowledge of the team’s plans.
“Yes, we think he’s a better player,” said the source. “[Johnson] makes other people better. With LeBron’s people running the lockerroom that hurts the organization.”
Told that James is widely regarded as a better player than Johnson, the source cited concerns about James’ entourage taking over the franchise.
