New York Knicks: Injury changed Kevin Durant’s free agency, says Jalen Rose

The 2019 offseason did not result in a king’s ransom for the New York Knicks. Long speculated targets like Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard signed elsewhere, leaving the Knicks with approximately $70 million to spend elsewhere on the roster.

Preceding events could have changed New York’s outcome, though, according to ESPN analyst Jalen Rose, one they were apparently unhappy about.

On Saturday, at a Puma event in Brooklyn, Rose spoke on the Knicks’ free agency with Durant and Irving:

“So the Knicks, of course you want to sign KD, of course you want to sign Kyrie,” said Rose.
