本赛季NBA季后赛第二轮已经开始，在这个关键时刻，ESPN记者爆料：杜兰特和欧文将在休赛期一起加盟尼克斯。
"If we're ranking teams heading into the offseason, New York probably has the best tools in the toolshed," one Western Conference executive said. "Maybe they get it right this time."一位西区经理：“如果我们排一下进入休赛期以后的球队状况排名，尼克斯很可能处于最佳的位置，可能这一次尼克斯做对了。”
It's easier to find street parking in Manhattan than it is to find an NBA executive, player or coach who doesn't think Durant is going to sign with the Knicks in July.
在纽约曼哈顿找个街头停车场都比在联盟当中找个球队经理或者球员或者教练认为杜兰特不会和尼克斯签约容易。
Some of Durant's former teammates think it's going to happen, per ESPN sources. Several of his current teammates have told friends that they think it's going to happen, sources said. Opposing agents believe it's a fait accompli: "Just a matter of putting pen to paper," is how one agent of another top free agent in the 2019 free-agent class put it.
一些杜兰特的前队友认为杜兰特会和尼克斯签约，一些他的现队友已经告诉他们的朋友，他们认为杜兰特会和尼克斯签约。其他经纪人认为这已经是个既定事实了，只是需要拿笔签字而已，一位顶级自由球员的经纪人这么描述杜兰特的情况。
One opposing executive monitoring Durant's situation closely believes that the opportunity to win in New York -- and push the notion that he jumped on the bandwagon to win rings in Oakland from the forefront of fans' consciousness -- is a pull for the two-time Finals MVP.
