Thunder GM: 'We'll react accordingly' to Durant's decision

Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti is adament that the organization will be ready for anything in regards to the future of star forward Kevin Durant.

Durant's decision will have a significant impact on the direction the club ultimately takes but Presti seems oddly at peace and insists he'll give Durant all the time and space he needs to work through things on his own.

"We'll get an answer from him at the appropriate time," Presti told reporters Monday. "I think it really is important for him to take his time, get away from things. Look, Kevin is a highly, highly intelligent person. He's a mature person. He's a rational person, and he's going to work through the decision in a way that will help him do what he feels is best for him. We'll react accordingly once we have that information, and we'll try to be as prepared as possible."

Though Durant's impending free agency loomed large over the entire Thunder season, Presti credited Durant for not allowing the uncertainty and endless speculation distract from the team's magical run.

"I also think Kevin deserves a tremendous amount of credit for the way he's handled his affairs, because what it really did was it allowed our team to focus on the season and really made the season we had possible," Presti said. "I thought it was a tremendous example of a franchise player putting the franchise first. I thought it was also a tremendous example of leadership on his part, because we're not able to have that season unless he's handling his affairs the way that he did."
