Knicks Using Kevin Durant
Durant was unhappy with speculation that followed after he didn't speak to the media for eight days following the Knicks trading of Kristaps Porzingis to clear cap space for this offseason. That was most likely done on objective.
While Robinson is popular among Knicks fans, it would be understandable if the team was trying to look beyond its current roster for ways to lure fans into renewing their season tickets.
Don't read anything into the use of the photo, however, the team urged in a statement released Sunday night. He signed a two year, $61.5 million deal with the Warriors last season that comes with a player option, which many expect he will opt-out of and become a free agent again this summer.
"Game action photos are used all the time for marketing purposes, but given everything going on, we took the precaution of taking the photo down", the Knicks said in a statement (via the New York Daily News).
Using an opposing player in a sales photo is not strictly against National Basketball Association rules, according to reporting from the New York Post, but Durant's contract situation has brought about concern.
The Knicks have removed a photo of Kevin Durant from a season ticket promotion. The players were Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. Kevin Durant, for example, could be one of those free agents.
Through his three career National Basketball Association seasons, Porzingis, the fourth overall pick of the 2015 draft, has averaged 17.8 points per game to go along with 7.1 rebounds.
