Are the New York Knicks guaranteed for Kevin Durant? Not until the two-time NBA Finals MVP officially signs the dotted line in July, but even for that, there is another team in play, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.
Stein said the Los Angeles Clippers are a “dangerous threat” to the Knicks to sign Durant. This is a franchise with enough salary cap space to sign a maximum free agent, and while that could be Kawhi Leonard or another top name, the Clippers possessed one of the NBA’s most intriguing young cores in the 2018-19 season.
