Paul Silas was LeBron James' first NBA coach and once was an assistant in New York. He said the player and the city are made for each other.
In an interview with FanHouse, Silas said he believes James will depart Cleveland as a free agent, with the Knicks the most likely destination.
"I do believe he will leave,'' Silas said. "What he really wants is to become the first basketball billionaire. So, I think that's very difficult to do in Cleveland. So, I think we're looking for him to go to New York or New Jersey or somewhere like that.''
Silas called New York the most likely destination followed by the Nets, who are expected to move to Brooklyn in 2012. But Silas, an assistant coach with the Knicks from 1989-92 and with the Nets in 1988-89 and from 1992-95, said "Brooklyn still isn't'' Manhattan.
