For Durant’s part, he reportedly toured real estate options during a Super Bowl eve visit to the Bay Area and had his mother do the same. It would be unusual to have Durant on the team if he leaves the Thunder in free agency, but odder things have definitely happened in National Basketball Association history.
The Warriors have eight unrestricted free agents of their own, including swingman Harrison Barnes and center Festus Ezeli, both of whom are expected to attract significant attention from rival teams this summer. “We talk so much about minutes being played and resting guys during the year and the workload and it’s too many games, I knew guys were going to think about that”, Durant said. But what will that roster look like by the time the dust settles in free agency in July?
Kevin Durant is in line to be one of the most coveted free agents to ever hit the market, and a report Tuesday suggests the Golden State Warriors are the team to watch, provided Durant doesn’t re-sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Nike Basketball and designer Leo Chang continue to grow and adapt to Kevin Durant’s footwear needs as his game continues to evolve.
