Knicks rumor: New York Knicks have no intention of trading Kevin Durant, people familiar with the matter say

Despite the many speculations about the New York Knicks, there are rumors that they do not intend to trade Kevin Durant.

Rumors are everywhere about the New York Knicks, the team is still looking for a new head coach, and many believe that management will make some big deals. Some reports suggest that the New York Knicks are interested in reaching a deal with the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Kevin Durant. However, a person familiar with the matter poured cold water on this statement.

Although there are many teams rumored to be interested in acquiring Durant, according to Newsday Sports' Steve Popper, the Knicks don't seem to be the case. Popper does claim Durant has gained a lot of attention in the trading market; however, his sources suggest that the New York Knicks are not one of them.

"By the way, although Durant's coaching selection is in progress, league sources revealed that despite reports that - Durant's career is a brilliant one - the Knicks are not one of the teams that intend to bring in Durant."

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith recently ranked the Knicks as one of the teams he is most likely to get Kevin Durant through a trade. Even if that's not the case, there are still many other teams that may be interested in bringing in the 36-year-old striker. As for New York, management may consider other options, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. The

trade will not be held until the end of the NBA Finals. So, only time can tell us how the New York team plans to continue building a roster. Meanwhile, the Knicks are in deep rumor that they may poach Jason Kidd from the Dallas Mavericks as their next head coach.

Once the head coach is determined, the future direction of this team should be clearer. But before everything is settled, the Knicks will almost be involved in all kinds of rumors.
