Report: Durant not considering Rockets as landing spot

The Houston Rockets are known for their all-out approach toward recruiting superstars. With Kevin Durant hitting the market, the Rockets will likely push those efforts into overdrive.

As ESPN's Marc Stein reports, though, Durant has no interest in joining his former teammate James Harden in Houston.

The two Team USA fixtures were spotted hanging out in Houston this week, but the visit was nothing out of the ordinary for the pair, Stein relays. They have a friendship that dates back to when they became Oklahoma City Thunder teammates in 2009.

Stein writes that league executives expect Durant to have face-to-face meetings with the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs, among other teams.

Nevertheless, the prevailing opinion around the league is Durant will likely re-sign with the Thunder on a two-year deal so he can re-enter free agency with a greater earning power.

Durant could earn as much as $204 million on a five-year maximum contract if he hits the market in 2017, compared to $146 million on a max this summer.
