Kevin Durant Rumors: Knicks Favored to Land SF, Says Anonymous Agent
KD乳摸: 匿名消息说，尼克会是下一个KD打球的球队
The New York Knicks are reportedly the favorites to land Golden State
Warriors forward and possible 2019 free agent Kevin Durant, who has a player
option on his contract for the 2019-20 season.
纽约尼克一直被报导是有可能在2019年后有可能抢到KD的队伍，KD在明年可以有球员选择
权决定2019-20球季在哪里打球。
According to Frank Isola of The Athletic, the Knicks are "all in" on their
pursuit of Durant. He cited several league executives who echoed as much, and
one player agent said, "Everyone says Knicks" when discussing which team
Durant will play for next.
根据Frank Isola报导，纽约尼克已经开始"全力"在竞逐KD。据几位联盟高层以及一位球员
经纪人都说，当在讨论KD下一队会是哪一队时，他们都说是"尼克"。
New York is 9-25 this season after finishing the 2017-18 campaign with a
29-53 mark. The franchise hasn't made the playoffs since 2012-13 and has won
only one postseason series since it appeared in the 2000 Eastern Conference
Finals.
尼克目前战绩9-25，去年结束是29-53。尼克从2012-13球季后就没打过季后赛，在2000年
打入东冠那年后，也只赢过一次季后赛系列战。
Adding someone like Durant would change the trajectory of the franchise.
加入一位KD这样的明星球员会改变这球队的未来表现。
The future Hall of Famer has already amassed two NBA Finals MVPs, the 2013-14
league MVP, eight All-NBA selections, four scoring titles and nine All-Star
nods by the age of 30. He could also add a third straight title with the
Warriors this season.
这位今年30岁，未来HOFer球员已经有两个FMVP，2013-14球季MVP，8次All-NBA
selection, 4次得分王，以及9次全明星，而今年可能会在勇士拿下第3枚冠军戒。
Leaving the Warriors to join the Knicks would give Durant a new challenge
after he spent the past few seasons alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson
and Draymond Green.
在过去几季跟Stephen Curry，Klay Thompson跟Draymond Green打球后，离开勇士到尼克
将会是KD的新挑战。
His potential impending free agency was under the spotlight in November, when
he had a back-and-forth with Green in the closing stages of a game against
the Los Angeles Clippers. Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com
reported the altercation spilled into the locker room and was "one of the
most intense of this Warriors era."
11月时，那场与快艇的比赛末，他跟嘴绿来回的口角，让他即将来临的FA成为大家的焦
点。根据沃神以及Marc J. Spears报导，那场争吵在休息室爆裂，成为"勇士队史上几次最
激烈的其中之一"。
They added that Durant's contract status "heightens the sensitivity of the
turmoil."
他们更说KD的合约状态"让整起事件更具敏感性"。
It's easy to envision the Knicks competing in the Eastern Conference with
Durant and Kristaps Porzingis, who has not played this season as he recovers
from a torn ACL. A highly regarded rookie could also help a quick turnaround,
with Duke's Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett potentially available at the top
of the 2019 draft.
要去想像尼克在KD以及Kristaps Porzingis所带领的尼克在东区竞逐并不困难，Porzingis
本季因为前十字韧带断裂在康复中没打球。而在明年选秀有两位Duke明星球员Zion
Williams跟RJ Barrett在里面，有这样的新秀加入也会帮尼克迅速脱胎换骨。
