The NBA Knicks made an offer in the middle of the season to trade star Durant, and the American media broke the news about the reason for the failure

The Knicks lost to the Pacers in the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Championship Game and were officially eliminated this season, after which the team announced the expulsion of head coach Thibodeau, and now it is reported that in fact, before the midseason trade deadline this year, the Knicks had offered to trade star forward "KD" Durant who wanted to come to the Suns.

ESPN's Charania broke the news that the Knicks had explored the opportunity to trade Durant before the midseason trade deadline this year, and the Suns were also interested in a trade, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.

Although Charania did not disclose the trade package, local Phoenix reporter Gambadoro said that the deal did not go through because the Suns were not interested in Knicks center Towns, and Yahoo Sports pointed out that if Durant were to be traded, Towns' salary would be the easiest to match.

In the end, Durant stayed with the Suns to play this season, but the Suns have the highest salary in the league, but only 36 wins and 46 losses missed the playoffs, and it is widely believed that Durant will leave this summer, and it is currently rumored that the Suns have lowered the offer to trade Durant.
