Knicks coach David Fizdale insisted he did not pay attention to the status of Durant's contract.
"Not even a little bit, I do not even like to say it when it's not about anything, because it's a killer," Fizdale said, "I was watching a movie about him. the other day, and the guy is so efficient, he's a special player, but no, I can not talk about those other things. "
Fizdale said his immediate goal was to prepare his team 1-4 to a row of killer opponents. Stephen Curry. Klay Thompson. Draymond Green. And yes, Durant.
"Oh boy, I do not know if you can describe the challenges," Fizdale said of the Warriors, "I like the opportunity myself, that our young guys are fighting the garden champions, it's a great opportunity for us, they can play for free and nobody expects us to do anything against them except for me. "
The Knicks are expected to have enough space available this summer to pay for a free agent such as Durant if he goes free, as many people think. But would Durant leave a team on the verge of winning his third consecutive title, N.B.A. championship for a franchise that held the O'Brien Trophy in 1973?
"He is one of the top two scorers in the world," said Kanter, Durant's teammate in Oklahoma City, who will also be a free agent next summer. "He's an amazing guy. A very good cloakroom guy, a very good friend. Obviously, this is a two-time final, M.V.P. You can not say enough about the guy. He definitely earned that respect for himself. "
But does he want New York for himself?
"Dude, I have no idea," Kanter said. "I'm not in his head. But one thing I am right now: I'm worried about the Knicks.
After an entertaining start to the season, rich in comebacks, the Knicks suffered their worst loss of the season on Wednesday, beating 110-87 in Miami.
