Will Kevin Durant re-sign with the Warriors or will he join the Knicks, Nets or some other NBA team?
He could do both.
There’s a new wrinkle in the season-long question surrounding Durant’s impending free agency, thanks to an ESPN report suggesting the Warriors could do a “delayed” sign-and-trade with their star forward.
Brian Windhorst, appearing on ESPN’s “Get Up” Thursday morning, said the Warriors have talked with Durant about the possibility of signing him to a super max contract and eventually trading him before his likely return to the court in the 2020-21 season.
“One of the things that is being discussed right now is that the Golden State Warriors would offer Kevin Durant a five-year contract, $57 million extra than he could get signing elsewhere, let him rehab and then work with him to be traded.
