The New York Knicks are currently on track to record their worst ever single-season winning percentage, however, the franchise is gearing up for a busy summer which could transform their future.

The Knicks are hoping to select Zion Williamson in the upcoming NBA draft, whereas many executives around the league also expect them to close out a deal for Kevin Durant.

If both of these plans fall into place, the Knicks would be an incredibly attractive option for Irving, however, caution should be advised as we are talking about the Knicks.

Widely regarded as the worst operated team in the NBA, the Knicks have repeatedly dropped the ball in recent years, and it is entirely possible that the team could still miss out on both Zion and KD.

If this turns out to be the case, Irving would be joining an incredibly inexperienced team with no chance of competing, so a move to the Knicks is not the foregone conclusion that some have come to expect.
