Kevin Durant’s agent wanted him to sign with Knicks ‘more than anything’
NY Post
Oh what could have been if Rich Kleiman had his way.
Kevin Durant and his agent and business partner revealed during a Boardroom.tv interview that Kleiman had pushed hard for him to go to the Knicks during the fateful summer of 2019 when the NBA superstar left Golden State for Brooklyn.
“Will you tell the camera and whatever Knicks fans will watch this that I wanted you to go to the Knicks,” Keiman said.
“You definitely did. You definitely did more than anything,” Durant acknowledged five years after making the decision to go to the Nets rather than signing with one of the league’s marquee franchises.
Durant’s decision looked to add so much promise for the Nets, who looked as though they were about to enter an era of unimaginable success since the franchise had relocated to Brooklyn.
Kyrie Irving also signed with the Nets that offseason, and they later brought in James Harden, but injuries and off-the-court issues prevented Brooklyn from ever reaching the heights that Durant and the organization had anticipated.
