This writer listed the other teams he thought KD should consider going to. He lists 5 teams including NY, Cleve, Por, Minny and LA. I agree with his take on why he should come to the Knicks. You can go to the original article to see the other options.

We know the frontrunners in the pursuit of Kevin Durant's basketball service this summer. But what about the underdogs?

Durant will reportedly meet with six teams when free agency begins at 12:01 a.m. ET early Friday morning — the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. All six teams make a lot of sense for Durant heading into next season and the years beyond.

They're not the only teams that could give Durant what he's looking for, though. If KD's smart, he should line up meetings with these five teams before he makes a decision.

5. New York Knicks

Durant's intrigued by New York, thanks to the Knicks' trade for Derrick Rose, the presence of Carmelo Anthony, and the possibility that Kristaps Porzingis turns into the next Hall-of-Fame NBA big man.

A move to New York is about more than just the current roster, though. The Knicks famously haven't won a title in over 40 years. Bringing a championship to the Big Apple would make Durant a basketball god. He'd be the man who restored basketball's Mecca to its rightful place atop the hardwood universe.

It'd be an extraordinarily difficult task, to be sure, but that's part of the allure. Where dozens of players have failed before, Durant could prove that he alone had the right combination of skill, constitution and leadership to put all of the years of the Knicks' futility to bed.

The NYK's have a special benefit attached to anyone who wins the next title here. I've said before that KD's manager or Phil should make him think about that trip down the canyon of heroes. How much mileage Clyde has gotten out of his winning in NY or Joe Namath. You can get to Icon status winning with NYK.

KD is considering the Knicks, the media is so hell-bent on putting us out of the equation.

This is messed up. Really at 11? Or do I have to sit through 27 minutes of BS before we get to sports?
