Can the Warriors somehow convince the OKC superstar to come to the Bay? And, if not, what then?
Free agency officially begins on July 1st and the Golden State Warriors are one of just six teams to have a confirmed meeting with the jewel of this year’s free agent class: Kevin Durant. Recently, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Durant seems inclined sign a one year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and then revisit free agency in the summer of 2017. However, this puts the Warriors in a particularly tricky situation.
If Durant does indeed go back to OKC on a two year deal with an opt-out after the first season, will the Warriors be forced to match an offer for Harrison Barnes?
