The New York Knicks will always be in the mix for a blockbuster move, but they simply won’t accept a particular deal involving a key player of theirs to bring Kevin Durant on board this summer.

Last summer, the New York Knicks heavily invested in improving the roster. They acquired Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges at a steep cost. They also re-signed OG Anunoby.However, Tom Thibodeau’s team appears to be one star-level player away from being the leading candidate to secure a championship.

According to Shams Charania, Durant had an interest in being traded to the Knicks at the deadline, but the Suns opted to hold onto him.
