Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant ‘never promised anybody’ that he’d play for the Knicks

Error 0:

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant believes the media hyped up the thought of him coming to the Knicks last summer.

There was an abundance of highly-touted free agents in the NBA last summer, including Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, and Kemba Walker. It was almost like watching a reality show unfold when ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski took to Twitter to announce the new deals on June 30.

But arguably the biggest name in free agency was superstar forward Kevin Durant. Many believed this even after he ruptured his Achilles in the NBA Finals while with the Golden State Warriors.
