People in here hating on the Knicks is wild, I don’t even like KAT more then KD & I wouldn’t even do this trade. Plus we NYC, we don’t do sloppy seconds, stay over that way my G, we good on you. You chose BK & now look at you, if he had picked right, we woulda made the finals if he & Kyrie was healthy.

No contending team should want Durant, guy can’t lead a team through a one way exit cave.

No disrespect to JWill, but this will be the last time I watch these ESPN first take clips. Those other 3 on the set is anything to say the lease slim…I can find my updates and analysis somewhere else and will. Gtfoh

Paying $55,000,000 for a 37 year old guy who can’t make the playoffs even with Booker by his side would be absurd. Anybody who takes him is either mentally disabled or laundering money.

Teams aren’t willing to give away their whole team for one player anymore. Especially an aging player.

June 17, 2025 at 10:56 pm
I don’t see all the noise with Durant. He great but he’s not the same player, has injuries and is just getting older to demand everything to go with him it isn’t a good move, just ask the suns.

I can see DBook prob pushing for suns to go get Kat from knicks that’s his best friend

That’s not a good move for KD or the Knicks. I think he makes a better fit in SA.
@marcusspain1032
June 17, 2025 at 11:04 pm
Look I will not be surprised if no teams have interest in KD… he not willing to be a leader at this stage in career, he got the I just wanna hoop mentality, and idk if his stats are enough for a team to say let’s bring him in, his approach to the game may not be what the teams are looking for

😢I ageee its a very smart and an intelligent move to pass on the KD trade. KD is over hyped period as good or great of a player he is
@reedickyaluss
June 17, 2025 at 11:15 pm
Because hes going to be 38. What do you have to give up to get him? It’s not worth it.
