Even if you suspended disbelief enough to think Phoenix would take this deal, who is supposed to play when KD inevitably misses 15-30 games?
You just traded away 3 rotation players who average ~90 MPG combined as Knicks. Then you want to add picks on top of that.

We don't have $31M of filler to add to Josh Hart
ESPN trade machine says it works if you add Mitch and a few others. Only Hart is a starter.

I thought that was pretty obvious....
I think with this exchange we can lay rest to the notion of mutual interest between Knicks and KD....he literally called the guy delusional when he suggested he'd end up here. Forget about this route. This is for me as much direct confirmation as possible that the report saying KD didn't want to go to the Knicks was actually accurate. And don't take it personal guys....KD just wants to play basketball and be left completely alone---this is just not possible in NY, you will have some drama accompanying you. IMO that's probably the biggest reason he'll rather look at some smaller market teams.

I’m sure he doesn’t know ball.
“Back at the NBA trade deadline, there were multiple teams that pursued Durant in a trade, and there were some teams that there were also mutual interest. Those teams included Houston, New York, San Antonio, as well as Miami. So expect those teams to be back in the picture for Kevin Durant. I would expect others to jump in the fray as well.”
