"Kevin Durant, that's an interesting piece," Johnson said on ESPN's 'Get Up'. "If I'm the Knicks, the Knicks are too slow. They're not going to beat Indiana next year or these other teams. They got to get a little faster, right? And to me, Kevin Durant will allow them to get faster and be a guy that can help [Jalen] Brunson in the fourth quarter."

Magic Johnson urges the New York Knicks to pursue Kevin Durant trade amid Phoenix Suns' uncertainty and championship aspirations.

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.
