Why Scottie Pippen doesn't believe Kevin Durant will leave Warriors for Knicks originally appeared on nbcsportsbayarea.com If you're of the opinion that it would be crazy for Kevin Durant to leave the Warriors this summer to join the New York Knicks, you now have Hall of Fame company. As you probably know, the two-time NBA Finals MVP has the option to opt out of his contract and become a free agent this summer. A number of teams - including the Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers - are expected to pursue Durant, and many believe the 30-year-old star will say goodbye to the Bay Area in order to try and bring a title to the Big Apple.
