Report: Durant tells teams he'll decide within 24-36 hours
The basketball world apparently won't have to wait much longer for the biggest free-agent fish to bite.
Kevin Durant has informed the teams he's been meeting with that he'll make his free-agency decision within the next 24-36 hours, ESPN's Chris Broussard reported late Saturday, citing league sources.
Since the calendar flipped to July, the former MVP has met with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, and San Antonio Spurs. Durant's final meeting is set for Sunday with the Miami Heat, and the Thunder are reportedly requesting a final sit-down with KD after his Heat meeting.
Durant has spent his entire nine-year career in Oklahoma City, earning seven All-Star selections, six All-NBA nods, four scoring titles, four trips to the Western Conference finals, and one trip to the NBA Finals, in addition to the aforementioned MVP award.
The 27-year-old averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, five assists, 1.2 blocks, and a steal on an absurdly efficient true shooting percentage of 63.4 during the 2015-16 season.
