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 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.

But a league source said that despite the Knicks being listed the team was not interested in making a trade for Durant, who is entering the final year of his contract after playing 62 games and averaging an efficient 26.6 points per game.
