The New York Knicks are reportedly out of the Kevin Durant sweepstakes, but that doesn't mean analysts are stopping their ideas of getting the Phoenix Suns star back to the Big Apple. Bleacher Report writer Grant Hughes named Durant as an ambitious trade target for the Knicks.

The New York Knicks are not actively seeking a trade for Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant, according to the New York Post, this coming after ESPN reported Wednesday the franchise was one of five teams in the sweepstakes for 15-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion.

But a league source said that despite the Knicks being listed the team was not interested in making a trade for Durant, who is entering the final year of his contract after playing 62 games and averaging an efficient 26.6 points per game.
