Heading into the 2015-2016 season, all eyes will be on Kevin Durant.
This year’s free agency period has come to a screeching halt, so now it’s time to start looking ahead to next summer. While teams will be lining up for Durant’s services, it may be all for nothing.
Most league execs informally polled here at Summer League expect Durant to stay in Oklahoma City when he hits the market next summer. There are only a handful of teams that can legitimately think they’re an option. The Lakers, the Mavs and the Wizards (in Durant’s hometown) are in the mix, for starters. The Knicks? I mean, I guess, in theory.
Obviously, a lot can and probably will change from now.
