The Garden will almost certainly eventually be relocated, but there's no way in hell it would just be demolished, not replaced, and every existing MSG event stuffed into Barclays Center. For one, the owners of the respective arenas are rivals. For another, Barclays Center was built as a basketball arena, not a multiuse arena.
LA has multiple arenas too. Not everything is in Staples Center. And the NY region is larger with more teams and more events.
The existing arena is actually the 4th version of MSG. One day there will be new version, somewhere else.
