Crazy Details REVEALED About Kevin Durant Joining the Knicks… | Knicks News

Many people in Kevin Durant’s Camp wanted him to join the New York Knicks in 2019 and it just came out that his agent Rich Kleinman was one of those people so we are going to talk about this and break down why the New York Knicks are better off that this did not

Happen so let’s just jump right into the video guys what’s up welcome back to Nick’s digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to waste no time because we need to talk about this we’re sick of the being the rumor mill Channel we’re getting into some different stuff hope

You guys like this cuz in an interview with the boardroom Rich Kleinman Kevin Durant’s agent and manager told KD to set the record straight that he wanted him to join the Knicks and W KD said is you definitely did more than anything and then later mentioned that his dad

And aunt also wanted him to join the Knicks and on top of that he also finally set the record straight on saying the Knicks aren’t cool but we’ll get into that a little bit later because as we know Kevin Durant’s dad wanted him to join the Knicks which did come out at

The time from Brandon scoop B Johnson but not too many people believed it was true it was in a Bleacher Report article written a couple years back now what was said is that Kevin Durant’s father met with the New York Knicks brass in 2019 and attempted to persuade his son to

Abandon his plan to sign in Brooklyn to become a Nick meaning one ktie already knew he was going to Brooklyn and also Bondi then said that he obtained a copy of K knock the hustle a book by Matt Sullivan which details the clandestine meeting Durant was unaware that the

Meeting took place and was angry that his dad did that because he didn’t want his pops screwing with the plan Wayne Pratt Kevin Durant’s dad allegedly met with Nick’s Executives Steve Mills and Scott Perry thank God they’re still not which consult or which constituted a violation of the NBA’s tampering rules

Who cares tampering is basically legal or you lose two second round picks to land the best playing guard in the Eastern Conference if you know what I’m saying Pratt is a lifetime Nicks fan who felt rant was selling him short signing with the Nets rather than the Knicks and

Then reportedly told KD this is the mecca if you want to do it do it big if you want to be a New Yorker be a Nick now look Wayne Pratt has spent more time in New York than Kevin Durant has we’re not going to get into Kevin Durant’s

Relationship with his dad because it’s complicated where Nicks digests KD never played for the Knicks and are very personal to their family and I don’t feel like talking about that but what we will say is that Katie’s dad Wayne Pratt has a house out in Long Island that is

Sunb for him and that is where it all went down that is why Kevin Durant Steph Curry Klay Thompson Andre Gala and Draymond Green were known as The Hamptons five because the four of them who are not KD met KD in the Hamptons and basically persuaded him to join the

Golden State Warriors Once Upon a Time now KD went back to Long Island back home with his dad who he trusts who he’s very close with to basically make his free agency decision though his mind was already made up on joining Brooklyn now here’s the deal Kevin Durant was going

To announce his decision at 6 PM the day of free agency he was not going to waste a second he was instantly going to sign he knew his move he knew he was going to be a Brooklyn Net we didn’t know where he was going but it came out that he

Would announce it on the boardroom now I don’t know how WJ found out but W found out and then what w tweeted out is that Kevin Durant intends to join the brook Nets when free agency begins and I punched a wall that is a true story I

Was I just graduated high school and I was Furious beyond belief the team that has no fans got Kevin Durant and then they got fans and well then they lost all of them and the Knicks are good and better than the Nets ever were so what

Are you gonna do that’s how life goes but look the Knicks obviously made the right call not signing Kevin Durant though it wasn’t really their decision though James Dolan may or may not have prevented the Knicks from giving Durant a Max contract I can I refuse to believe

That is true I think the Knicks offered him one and then just wanted to save face and instead looked even worse because before Leon Rose came into play James zlan was still involved with the Knicks Leon Rose comes in he like yeah you’re not touching anything you’re not doing

Anything you’re letting me do the work I’m gonna make this team good and that’s exactly what Leon Rose did and he was right to do so now I understand how much we all wanted KD at the time I did I would still love for Kevin Durant to be

On the Knicks why because he’s good at basketball and he would help the Knicks win the NBA Finals but that Nets team was an utter disappointment beyond belief and I actually just talked about this recently on a different video involving M Bridges being bummed out that he plays for the Nets like most

People would be especially if their friends played for the Knicks so I’m not going to really go that into depth on this but what I will say is that it’s not Kevin Durant’s fault that things went poorly it’s Kyrie Irving’s fault and it’s also it’s also a little bit Katie’s

Fault they shouldn’t have hijacked the team they shouldn’t have made them fire Kenny ainson and hire Steve Nash to essentially just be a figurehead they probably should not have traded for James Harden though I guess they were nearly a 500 team when that happened and that’s why it happened but it’s whatever

What the hell are you going to do I don’t really care at all because the Nets are going to be bad for the next like 15 years probably true story but KD clarified the Knicks aren cool comment finally after all these years which I do

Care about and he said at the time the Knicks weren’t cool but they are a Cool brand but the team was not cool to play for the team was not cool to watch now to side with Kevin Durant here he’s correct I don’t know too many people who

Are tuning in on a nightly basis to watch Dennis Smith Jr Damen doson Kevin Knox Noah vley and Tosh Gibson with Mitchell Robinson as the best player as their sixth Men playing more minutes than Taj Gibson but fizdale likes putting Mitch on on the bench CU he

Thought Mitch was better that way but David fizdale also is an idiot when it comes to being a head coach so I wouldn’t trust the word that that man says but that is what the Knicks did and not too many people I don’t know anyone

Who W what oh yeah I had no life in high school so I watched it but um for real though the Knicks were terrible there’s a reason why Stars didn’t want to go there the Knicks were a disaster the Knicks have done a great job turning things around and have once again become

Cool and a lot in part of that is due to what they did do in 2019 which is sign Julius Randall Julius Randall was a tremendous player for the New York Knicks and still has been he’s made his third All-Star team this year in five

Years of being a New York Nick he has been an All-Star three times he’s been on the all-nba team twice he’s not going to make it this year he missed too much time with an injury it is what it is it’s okay he’ll be on one again but with

Julius he was able to bring the Knicks back to life he was able to give the Knicks hope the Knicks thrusted themselves into contention realizing screw it don’t build around RJ and IQ and all them we’re going to make this team good now they get Jaylen Brunson Brunson breaks out on an unbelievable

Level becomes the best point guard in the Eastern Conference and here we are so it worked out better for the Knicks this way because KD and Kyrie are now older KD is now once again not on a team where he’s the leader which is perfectly

Fine no one’s saying he has to be he just should have been able to be good enough to be the best player and leader of a championship team at some point in his career and it is a disappointment that he never was and Kyrie iring is actually the weird EST person I have

Ever seen in basketball the man is absurd I’m not saying I dislike the guy I’m not saying I like the guy I don’t really care that much about who Kyrie Irving is as a person I like to watch him play basketball and I think he’s a freak but I don’t think he’s

Overwhelmingly a bad person he donated his entire salary before the charity he’s done that a few times at heart good dude but super strange happy he didn’t come with the Knicks and screw everything up because Kyrie Irving is the man who destroyed the Brooklyn Nets

When it comes down to it him not playing a bunch of times made things weird it made James Harden look at them and see a dysfunctional franchise and get the hell out of there to Philly who knew that James Harden also interesting guy happened again now on the clippers but

He’s good with them he’s not putting up James Harden numbers but he’s good with them so I guess it all worked out whereas the Knicks we have built the correct way are going to have eight first round draft picks to trade this year and most importantly now we’re cool

Something that Mark J Spears had to say about Durant’s drama with the Nets he said it wouldn’t have happened with the Knicks and explained why Kevin Durant never joined the Knicks and it was their inability to win what spear said is I think it would have done wonders for him

In his career and for the spotlight in New York but with the waight of 50 years and not having won a championship dealing with the back pages and all that I think it it has scared New York from getting a Marque guy that is a top 15 Jersey seller kind of and parent

Allar and look that’s perfectly fair but now the Knicks have done that naturally which is how teams win championships you do it naturally I know that Jaylen Bronson didn’t get drafted by the Knicks but he developed into who he is as a New York Nick Julius Randle has done the

Same they’re not exactly homegrown but they’re also not not homegrown players we have gotten guys who have broken out under Tom Tibido and Leon Rose we’ve gotten guys who have broken out under this regime and it has changed the direction of the New York Knicks now this is exactly what Kevin Durant said

On the old man in the three with JJ reck when talking about signing with the Nets and not wanting to be the savior of the Knicks he said I didn’t want to be the savior of the Knicks or New York I didn’t care about being the King of New

York that never really moved me I didn’t care about being on Broadway I wanted to just play Bell and go to the crib and chill and that’s what Brooklyn embodied and I mean he’s right Brooklyn has no fans so it’s easy to do that whereas the Knicks it’s a little different

Unfortunately Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randle have now become superstars in New York and by Superstars I don’t fully mean they’re like top players well brunon is Randall clear perennial Allstar but I wouldn’t call Julius Randall an NBA superstar but he is a New York celebrity for sure and one of the

Best athletes in New York so what we’re seeing is guys become stars with the Knicks and we’ve seen the Knicks Turn This regime around in only a few years which is so impressive with what they start started with Leon Rose started with such a disastrous team and completely flipped the script and now

The Knicks are good and now when we’re looking at the summer when there’s any team that wants to get a star the Knicks are going to be at the top of so many lists because now the Knicks are cool again after Durant saying that’s not really what’s cool in New York sorry

Wrong did not mean to press that Durant said the Knicks are not really what’s cool and they weren’t and now they are and that’s fine with KD there’s no animosity towards him there’s no animosity towards the Nets really because they’re not good enough to have

Any anger at but shout out to Leon Rose for pulling this off shocking that the Knicks were able to turn it around like this I think if you saw what happened four years ago with that free agency decision you would have assumed the Knicks would still be struggling to do

Anything and the Nets would probably have a championship by now but obviously that’s not what happened the Nets are struggling to do anything and the New York Knicks are getting pretty close to winning a championship at this point so shout out to Leon Rose part of the

Reason why I wanted to make this video but also because it’s just a fun topic let me know if you guys like these videos we can’t just keep doing trade videos all the time I I see the comments I see that you guys are getting a little

Bored of it let me know what else you want to see on Nick’s digest we will make the videos if I don’t believe in something that gets commented like that like the Constant Comment of talk about Melo and Lin sanity well Jeremy ly talked so sorry sorry he was good for

Three weeks and then wasn’t good again sorry no one else is going to say it I will Jeremy Lynn was not that good Carmelo Anthony was there’s your there there’s your uh video Joe Patterson outside of that let me know what you guys want to see below I’ll catch you
