Durant is expected to be dealt this offseason from the Suns, with ESPN listing the Knicks among five teams who have registered interest.

More on this storyline
The Knicks were interested in signing Durant in free agency in 2019, but he chose the Nets instead after tearing his Achilles with the Warriors. Durant’s father, Wayne, was reportedly pushing him to join the Knicks at that time. -via New York Post / June 11, 2025
The Pat McAfee Show: “I think there’s a very good chance that Kevin Durant is traded before the NBA Draft.. Giannis is in the process of figuring out exactly what he wants to do” ~ @Shams Charania #PMSLive -via Twitter / June 11, 2025
Once he is traded, Durant will be eligible to sign a two-year contract extension on July 6 worth as much as $112 million. If he were to wait six months after the trade, he could sign a two-year extension worth up to $124 million. -via ESPN / June 11, 2025
