Since arguably the 2018 offseason, the theory of Kevin Durant playing for the New York Knicks floated around. He joined the Golden State on another contract, with a player option for the 2019-20 season. Crossing age 30, though, there would be no surprise if he opts out before July 1.
Despite all the talk with Durant and the Knicks, what if the two-time NBA Finals MVP doesn’t actually have interest in playing for them?
An old clip of Durant saying he will “never” play for the Knicks recently resurfaced. It was recorded two years ago and likely means nothing in 2019, but any clues towards the upcoming offseason drama are not worth forgetting.
