NBA Free Agency: Kevin Durant meeting with these 6 teams

Kevin Durant has a list of six teams he will visit as he considers leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder as a free agent.

Kevin Durant is the most coveted free agent on the market with LeBron James stating he has no intentions of leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers at their championship parade. The former MVP and scoring champion has enjoyed a brilliant nine-year run with the Oklahoma City Thunder since they took him with the No. 2 pick in the Draft, but he’s making plans in case he’s ready for a change.

Teams will be able to meet with Durant at 12:01 a.m. ET Thursday night and ESPN’s Marc Stein reports he’ll meet with the Thunder’s two chief rivals at the onset of free agency.

“The Warriors and Spurs, sources say, are both already planning to load a plane full of key organizational figures — including Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson for Golden State, and Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan for San Antonio — to fly to an undisclosed location once free-agency season starts to try to lure Durant away from the only franchise he has ever played for.”

In addition to the Warrior and Spurs, Yahoo Sports reports Durant will also visit with the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers. Still holding out hope for a visit are the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards, Durant’s hometown team, but seem to be longshots at this point considering Durant wants a chance to win a championship now.

I’d still be shocked if Durant doesn’t re-sign with Oklahoma City on a one-year deal with a player option for a second year. But you can’t fault the Warriors, Spurs, Clippers, Heat and Celtics for trying to pry him out of OKC.
