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.

The New York Knicks head into the offseason with relative uncertainty, despite having one of their best seasons in recent memory. For the first time in 25 years, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and were even favored to make the NBA Finals after defeating their rival and the defending champion Boston Celtics.

The New York Knicks are reportedly out of the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, but that doesn't mean analysts are stopping their ideas of getting the Phoenix Suns star back to the Big Apple. Bleacher Report writer Grant Hughes named Durant as an ambitious trade target for the Knicks.
