When Warriors superstar Kevin Durant played Oklahoma City for the first time early in the 2016-17 season, then Thunder center Enes Kanter was the only former teammate to give Durant beef – trash-talking him from the bench.
Now Kanter hopes Durant, a free agent in 2019, will forget the incident.
The Knicks center will do everything he can to recruit Durant to New York next summer, although Kanter himself is also a free agent. Durant signed a two-year deal with Golden State on July 1 with an opt-out after the first year.
“I’ve been hard on him the last two years,’’ Kanter said on Sirius XM Radio.
