The New York Knicks are exploring significant trades this offseason, especially following their loss in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Indiana Pacers. Reports suggest they have their eyes set on acquiring superstars like Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Insider Shams Charania revealed that the Knicks attempted to secure Durant mid-season, potentially offering Mikal Bridges, alongside injured Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby, for the star forward.

As the Knicks assess their roster, they might need to contend with other teams like the Houston Rockets and the Minnesota Timberwolves in their pursuit of Durant. A hypothetical lineup with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Durant could make the Knicks a formidable playoff contender, despite the depth issues posed by the potential trade.
