If Thunder forward Kevin Durant does enter free agency in 2016, he'll have no shortage of suitors and a person close to Durant said the Knicks would be near the top of Durant's choices, a source told the New York Daily News.

"No question about it," a person close to Durant said, per the Daily News. "Kevin loves Carmelo [Anthony]. It could work in New York. But never rule out the Thunder."

Along with his friendship with Melo, Durant is reportedly close friends with former teammate and current Knicks coach Derek Fisher. Durant is also believed to be an admirer of Knicks executives Steve Mills and Allan Houston.
