Kevin Durant Is Selling House In Bay Area, Buying Place in New York
Fadeaway World | May 29 1 1

Since the beginning of the season, there have been hints that Kevin Durant is bound to the Knicks this summer. Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher just revealed another one.

In an appearance on FS1’s “The Herd,” Bucher told Colin Cowherd that the reigning two-time Finals MVP has not only recently put his house up for sale in the Bay Area, but he’s also bought a new place in New York. While it is true that multiple Warriors players are selling their homes to accommodate the new arena location, this case with Kevin Durant is just too coincidental.

Bucher says the timing of an impending free agent selling real estate in one city and buying some in another across that just so happens to be in a city with two teams that covet him during a time that just so happens to be a month before free agency is too much of a coincidence to ignore.

Looking more and more like a done deal

Well, there you have it then!!! Bucher 9 years ago rumor did not mature.
He also said others have their houses on the market.

but its a small tidbit. Its not like there is just one juicy morsel over another.
Durant has a Malibu house on the market https://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/hot-property/la-fi-hotprop-kevin-durant-malibu-home-20190423-story.html
Rumors of him to Clippers a week ago were out. Who knows, maybe Malibu is over done and he wants a bigger LA place if he goes fulltime?
But if Knicks1248 says its a done deal, then you know it must have already happened!!!

Beat me to it. If the story is accurate, could very well be a bidding war between Knicks and Nets. Who offers to let Durant play GM (Like LeBron).

Get the feeling its the Knicks though, if it is true. Winning a title will be a bigger deal at MSG. Ending the drought would be a big deal. A lot more Knicks fans, than Nets fans, would be alienating them right off the bat, if he went to Brooklyn. Doubt he would want that. Dont have a problem with Durant playing backseat GM if he is a good one.

If that story last week is accurate, about Durant to Knicks being all but a done deal, then our youth movement might already be over. All depends on what was worked out, if something was worked out.

Maybe the address of his new home can give us a clue. Which arena is easier to get to? lol.

Because the NETS are already a playoff team with an All-Star and former All-Stars. They have a culture and players who have been there for years. In other words, another situation similar to the one he joined when he left OKC. OF course i know the NETS aren't Golden State circa 2016 BUT the point remains that Durant would rather not walk into a situation but have the situation built around him.

Not even close. The Warriors should have won the championship a month and a half before Durant signed with GS and they won the year before. The Nets lost in the first round in 5 games. Yeah, they have a lot of talent but they are not established at all and they were not far from being just another
Mediocre team. That’s a far cry from how GS was then.

Obviously he hasn't sign anything yet and anything can happen, but the rumors have been coming from every single outlet/reporter/analysis/scout that you know of for months. There has been article after article stating this, even fans from other teams, even GS Fans strongly believe it. Not to mention the knicks put themselves in the driver seat, they have already gutted their roster.

Your right about one thing, we don't know for sure, but there is enough signs that should make you pretty damn optimistic

But his agent says he and Durant know nothing.

His agent can't speak publicly about his clients interested in another team while he's under contract, that would be career suicide for him, and spark all kinds of investigations into the knick FO.

How come no other TOP FA is link to NY(like ever before) as much as KD.. In the Past There was always "luke warm" rumors about TOP FA like LBJ, Reggie, Jordan ect, signing with NY, but none of those rumors were as hot as this KD rumor.

When I saw KD on an Episode Of showtimes " Billions", then I saw an interview where he basically said he is obsessed with Wall st and investing in tech companies and building his own, it started to make sense, Also one of his closes friends is on the knicks coaching staff, his agent is a knick finatic..it's just to much linkage too over look the rumor..

There are a few thousand Nets FANs in Brooklyn and NJ, they're millions of KNICK fans all over the world, and millions more waiting to hop back on the bandwagon.

I'm not overlooking the Nets on any signing this offseason and have been saying that i have this feeling that Kyrie is gonna go there and he's gonna bring J.Butler or another max guy with him so maybe that could be KD. They would have better players to play with and have already changed their culture like we're in the middle of doing now. They have a respected front office and head coach as well. Now the rumor is that they think Kyrie and D.Russell could play well in the back court together which i agree with because i think Russell might be an even better SG than he is a PG. I have the Nets so much so this would really bother me if they hit in free agency and we strike out. It won't be the worst thing because i'm fine with keeping on building through the draft but i'd rather we hit big with the right free agents.

I agree 100% with what you are saying. The Knicks as a franchise has failed its fan base time and time again. I loved that they tanked. It was worth it to add if anything but a position of value in the draft. There was 86% chance Zion wasn’t coming. As for the KD hype all the reading in between the lines and what not. Is most not. Until he signs the dotted line one can not get to excited.

People have lost sight of the mistakes made by Perry and Mills. Now hind sight being 20/20 of course. They could have traded KP last season to Spurs for Kawhi who actually lost NY as a destination. Oh well. But he was injured goods they both were.

Where did you hear that?
