Kevin Durant: ‘I can’t be recruited’

Warriors star Kevin Durant is set to become free agent this summer. Several teams showed interest in his talent, including the New York Knicks. Well, everything changed with Durant’s Achilles injury. The star player suffered an Achilles injury in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and had a surgery to repair it. In other words, his injury will change everything Durant planned. It will change everything other teams planned.

Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports discussed Durant’s situation.

“Some of Durant’s NBA peers who are interested in his next free-agent destination wondered if he’s happy in the Bay Area and plotted how to pitch their teams to the future Hall of Famer. Durant, of course, learned of these inquiries.

“’I can’t be recruited,’ Durant told Yahoo Sports last week. ‘Write that.’”

This shows that Durant would never let others do the speaking for him. He will make a decision himself, and no one will change it. pressing him too hard would only bring a negative outcome. Maybe NBA execs should take this into consideration.

Brian Lewis wrote that the Nets will try to get both Durant and Irving.

According to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, the Knicks owner James Dolan will offer Durant and Irving a blank check to sign with his franchise.

“But from everything that I’ve been hearing over the last few days, Kyrie Irving is heading to New York City. Kyrie Irving is headed to Madison Square Garden with Kevin Durant. People in his inner circle are trying to bring the Nets into the mix, but clearly, New York is the destination. The likelihood is that it will be MSG and obviously, Max [Kellerman], and I will admit, I’m saying this for your entertainment, Max Kellerman, because I know it’s going to get you going after I say this. I am told that James Dolan himself has basically said: ‘Whatever the hell you want. I will move the hell out of the way. I will give you whatever you want. It doesn’t matter. I’ll take care of you,’ to the Kyries and the Kevin Durants of the world.”Let’s see what happens next.
