The New York Knicks will find out Tuesday night if they are winning the Zion Williamson sweepstakes by landing the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft lottery, but apparently, you can book it that Kevin Durant is signing with them this summer either way. At least, that's what TV host Colin Cowherd heard from a veteran player in the league on Tuesday. Per Cowherd's source, it's "100 percent done" and Durant is already making calls to other players and leading recruitment efforts while on the shelf for the Warriors.

Stephen A. Smith went a step further on Tuesday and reiterated that his inside sources have claimed that Durant and Kyrie Irving linking up with the Knicks is a "forgone conclusion."

Could the Knicks have a trio of Durant, Irving and Williamson heading into the 2019 season? What about Durant, Irving, and Anthony Davis, following a deft deal? If these sources are giving these insiders legitimate information, that could very well be the case, and the Knicks could go from worst to first in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, with the personalities of Durant and Irving, they could easily change their mind, and if the lottery goes the way it has in recent memory, Zion is going to Cleveland, right?
