BREAKING: Magic Johnson reveals the best team for Kevin Durant
Magic Johnson believes Kevin Durant should join the Knicks, calling him the missing piece they need to win a championship.
Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant is widely expected to be traded this offseason, with several potential suitors emerging. So far, the San Antonio Spurs have been labeled as the heavy favorites to land KD.
However, the Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson believes Durant should consider taking his talents to a big-market Eastern Conference team instead.
"Kevin Durant is a piece that can actually get you over to win a championship," Johnson said on ESPN’s First Take.
"I like him if he can come to the New York Knicks. Brunson needs help, and he needs help in the fourth quarter."
The New York Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals this season but ultimately fell short, losing 2–4 to the Indiana Pacers.
Meanwhile, Durant continued to shine individually in the West, averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game.
Still, the Suns struggled mightily, finishing 11th in the conference — a disappointing result that now has the franchise reportedly ready to move on from their superstar.
