Kevin Durant's Thunder teammates confident he'll return to team


OKLAHOMA CITY -- After being eliminated in Game 7 by the Golden State Warriors, the Oklahoma City Thunder held their annual exit interviews Wednesday, and all eyes were on free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant.

Durant spoke to the media for almost 20 minutes, admitting he was uncomfortable talking about his future, but said he'll take the next month to sort through his options and discuss what his next move is.

"I want some time to really decompress and reflect on the season so I can move on with the summer and move on with this whole process," he said. "So it may seem like I'm not talking, I'm not giving information, or whatever, but I'm just really trying to make sure I tie everything up properly and make this thing right."

For the first time in his nine-year career, Durant is an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and virtually every team in the league has a desire to give him its pitch. Durant, though, suggested he isn't all that interested in being courted or recruited, saying that's not his personality.

"I never said that. That's not who I am," he said. "Whatever this thing entails, I'm ready to take it head on, but I'm not that type of person. ... Like I said, the two most important things for me is being around great people and having fun playing basketball. All that other stuff that comes with, being who I am and being in this position, it's not really what I'm concerned with. So I never said that, obviously. You could say that about any player in this position, but yeah."

Asked what is most important to him in a future team or contract, Durant said he hasn't compiled a list yet, but mentioned that "culture" and the people he interacts with every day will be a big part of his decision.

"Just being around great people, being in a great basketball environment, that's the two most important things for me," Durant said. "That's all I really care about. Who I'm going to be doing life with every single day, who I'm going to be playing basketball with every day."

KD is a beta baller, will wait on the other beta baller Wussell Restbrook to make a decision next year, he take a one year. This is obvious with the way KD always answers Restbrook's questions.

The two betas will decide together to make a final alpha decision.

Kevin Durant should look at every opportunity in free agency: Kobe Bryant.

Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant -- still weird to type that! -- has advice for Kevin Durant as the Oklahoma City Thunder star approaches free agency. In an interview with USA Today's Alysha Tsuji, Bryant said that Durant should consider everything:

Yeah, I mean, you know, you've just got to look at it holistically. What does he want out of his career, what opportunities present themselves, even I -- when I was a free agent -- I did my due diligence, I looked at every opportunity and I left no stone unturned, so you have to vet those things. I was just very fortunate things worked out for me in Los Angeles, but he certainly needs to look at every opportunity and make the right decision for himself -- keeping in mind his fan base in Oklahoma, as well.
