However, it seems that there may be a few other teams that are leading the pack for Durant's series. Knicks insider Ian Begley threw some cold water on the trade rumors involving New York and Durant. Begley shared the update on social media.

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.
