Durant, 27-year-old former NBA Most
Valuable Player, will be the most in demand player once his contract expires on
July 1.
Kevin Durant is still processing
Oklahoma City Thunder’s Western Conference finals defeat against the Golden
State Warriors while the issue of him being a free agent is getting near.
The Thunder can offer $149 million
over 5 years to keep their star, or he could opt to return to Oklahoma City for
one more year, before re-entering the free agency pool in 2017. Just when the
salary cap will increase again and thus further raise his salary expectations.
Durant’s approaching free agency has
been a hot topic long before the season began, with Washington Wizards fans
hoping his Washington-area roots could convince to move East.
Durant, who has spent his entire NBA
career with the same team, made very impressive plays, showing some signs that
there’s no way he’s looking for a way out after Oklahoma City’s 55-win season.
