A new twist in the current bidding war for Kevin Durant, as informant Shams Charania revealed that the New York Knicks and KD had mutual interest, an offer was made, but the Phoenix Suns clearly rejected it.
"There was mutual interest between Kevin Durant and the Knicks leading up to the trade deadline. The Knicks made an offer for Kevin Durant... Obviously, there was no trade; we will see what happens in the upcoming weeks."
According to the Burns & Gambo show, the Suns are not interested in Karl-Anthony Towns in any trade offer for Durant, but they believe OG Anunoby or Mikal Bridges could seal the deal.
Should the Knicks make another offer to try to sign Durant this offseason? Several prominent Knicks fans are not very enthusiastic about the idea.
Words from Shams Charania
Shams' report on the Knicks' interest in KD comes just a day after he mentioned that trade talks will intensify in the next two or three weeks, just before the NBA Draft on June 25.
"The talks will begin to intensify over the next two or three weeks. I've been told that the Suns will work with Durant and his business partner Rich Kleiman on a trade. There is expected to be a strong market for him, with between four and six teams seriously interested," said Charania.
