Durant and New York have an interest? The Suns have no intention of asking for Towns, which can help the team form the new three giants

The Knicks, who are only two games away from the finals this season, fired coach Thibodeau not long ago. This operation has indeed caused confusion among fans. However, for the Knicks, whose lineup is currently in a more complete position, if they can really change to a more enlightened coach, it is not that they will not have the opportunity to break through the bottleneck and thus attack the finals stage in the next few seasons.

Recently, according to famous reporter Shams, Durant and the Knicks are interested in each other, and the Knicks want to recruit his partner Brunson to compete for the championship. However, the Suns don't seem to be interested in Towns. For the Knicks, who already needs a big man with the ability to attack, if they can't move to Towns and get Durant in the trade, the team can make the team a combination of three big players, including Brunson, Towns and Durant. And they just happen to be overlapping in the forward position. If one of Anunobi and Bridges can be used as the main bargaining chip and traded Durant, then the New York management should not miss this opportunity.

In fact, neither Towns nor Brunson are the kind of superstars who can lead a single core. For the Knicks, they need a player who can help the team score points at critical moments. Although Durant is old, his ability to attack and control the critical moments of the game are undoubtedly better than these two. This season, Durant can average 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 43%. If he and Towns can partner in the inside, it will indeed cause great defensive trouble for their opponents.

If the Suns don't want Towns, then if the Knicks want Durant, they will definitely have to return one of Bridges and Anunobi. If one of them leaves one, it will make the Suns' lineup more balanced, so it depends on how the Suns will ask for the New York management. Not long ago, they just officially announced the joining of the new coach Ultra. In addition, there is a recent news that the Suns do not want Bill to return next season, which is enough to show that the Suns are preparing to start reconstruction. Therefore, while the Knicks are giving their players' chips, draft picks are absolutely indispensable. It is meant to impact the current Knicks. As long as the Suns management does not make a big name and ask for a lot of money, they can indeed try to chase Durant and make him form a three-big group with Brunson and Towns. In the eastern part, the Celtics are likely to encounter a drastic lineup change this summer. The only possible threats to the Knicks are the opponents Pacers, Cavaliers, and Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals (provided that Antetokounmpo does not leave), and the 76ers who are strong outside and do the middle. If Embiid and George still cannot guarantee their attendance, they are indeed not the Knicks' opponents. So if you really have the chance to get Durant, the management shouldn't hesitate. The peak of KD is not left. If you don't take this opportunity to strengthen, once this window period passes, the Knicks will have to put a big question mark, let alone win the championship, or even whether they can enter the Eastern Conference Finals.
