The Phoenix Suns are actively seeking to trade Kevin Durant after acquiring him from the Brooklyn Nets in February 2023.

Durant has shown a consistent interest in joining the New York Knicks, a desire that dates back to his 2019 free agency when he opted for the Brooklyn Nets.

However, any potential trade for Durant would require significant roster changes for the Knicks to accommodate his hefty $55 million salary.

To balance the salary cap in a trade, the Knicks might need to part with either star player Karl-Anthony Towns or multiple high-level rotation players.

This could involve trading away key players like OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson, which raises concerns about the Knicks' depth.

Currently, the Knicks face depth issues, and trading multiple rotation players could leave critical gaps in their lineup.

Windhorst emphasized that the Knicks must evaluate whether acquiring a player of Durant's caliber would position them to compete for a championship immediately.
