The New York Knicks and their fans have suffered through a 2014-15 campaign with very few bright spots, but Frank Isola of the New York Daily News is here to shed some optimism with just two words - Kevin Durant.
Namely, that the Knicks are a legitimate option for the Oklahoma City Thunder megastar when he hits free agency come the summer of 2016:
Phil Jackson and the Knicks have until July 1, 2016 to get their house in order and here’s something Jackson and the legions of long-suffering Knicks fans — are there any other kind? — can latch onto: The Knicks are in play.
“No question about it,” says a person close to Durant. “Kevin loves Carmelo (Anthony). It could work in New York. But never rule out the Thunder.”
Isola added that Durant chatted with Anthony for an extended period before Wednesday's Thunder/Knicks matchup, adding some fuel to Isola's report.
Regardless, it's still too early to make too much of this, especially with many other teams and cities likely to have their own crop of Kevin Durant rumors as he gets closer and closer to being on the market.
