Durant considered the New York Knicks a possible destination. However, the Knicks decided not to pursue a trade for him.

“Durant’s list of preferred trade destinations contains three teams,” Stein wrote. “Yet it almost had four. The Stein Line has learned that the Knicks also would have featured on that list but were ultimately omitted when New York made it clear that it has decided against pursuing a trade for the NBA’s No. 8 all-time leading scorer.”

The New York Knicks made it clear that they won't be pursuing a trade for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant this offseason, but he reportedly would've welcomed the opportunity to be shipped to the Big Apple.
