Superstars joining the New York Knicks went from realistic to a dream, after speculation grew for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving‘s potential arrivals, only to increase the link with the crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Nets.
With those lingering franchise disappearings, there was still marginal hope for Kawhi Leonard, as the New York Post previously reported that the Knicks plan to make a push. Yahoo’s report on Leonard opting out of his contract with the Toronto Raptors at least opened up the possibility, even if this decision was one year in the making.
