The New York Knicks are on the right path forward. General manager Scott Perry has changed the narrative surrounding the Knickerbockers. The team has been building towards 2019 free agency for the better part of two years and Kevin Durant has always been a No. 1 priority.
Some will argue that the team was gearing up for all of free agency rather than simply focusing on Durant. Of course, the Knicks could never explicitly say they were targeting Durant because of tampering rules, but it’s clear that he was the undisputed top target on the market (at least until Kawhi Leonard‘s ridiculous playoff run).
