5 reasons Kevin Durant should sign with the New York Knicks

1. Building His Legacy 

Durant’s potential move to New York could cement him as one of the all time greats. Both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have shown the ability to put forth MVP quality basketball. At the moment Westbrook (28.64) and Durant (28.46) only sit behind the reigning MVP Stephen Curry in terms of player efficiency. By striking out on his own Durant would be distinguishing himself from his current running mate and become the cornerstone of his own franchise.

In New York Durant would be entering a situation with a solid foundation already set in the form of Anthony and Porzingis. Yet these two players represent two completely different ends of the NBA spectrum. Porzingis is an exciting new prospect, whose potential ceiling is as lofty as any rising star in the league.

Anthony is a veteran and perennial All-Star who is ready to shoulder the burden and expectations that would come with joining forces. Durant would embody the bridge between these two players, bringing the undeniable star power that would take the Knicks to another level. Durant would be the perfect player for Carmelo to pass the torch to in New York, and Porzingis’ presence will ensure a bright future as well.
