Which Franchise for Kevin Durant?

The Knicks, in particular, have recently shown renewed ambition and competitiveness. With a talented core, an Eastern Conference Finals appearance, and management eager to make a big move, they could offer Durant an attractive project. A few years after the Nets, he could experience New York’s other franchise.

According to well-known journalist Brian Windhorst, “Kevin Durant is interested in joining the New York Knicks.” This statement sheds new light on ongoing negotiations and opens the door to a potentially impressive trade. Durant’s interest in New York is no longer just a rumor and could materialize quickly.

For now, nothing is confirmed, but it is known that the Knicks tried to make a move for Durant at the February trade deadline, without success. It seems natural that they would try again, this time with more motivation after the recent disappointment.

If this scenario is confirmed, it would shake up the NBA balance. The Knicks would instantly become one of the teams to watch in the East, while other franchises would have to rethink their plans with this new powerhouse. The draft and free agency period promises to be exciting to follow.
