When Kevin Durant makes his free-agency decision this summer, it'll be on his own accord and not funneled through a media channel.
"They need me," Durant said of the media, per NBC Sports Bay Area's Logan Murdock. "If I wasn't a free agent, none of this s--t would go on, right? None of this speculation about who I am, what's wrong with my mental, why I'm miserable, why I ain't happy with life. Nothing."
Durant's relationship with media has been increasingly contentious throughout the 2018-19 season, particularly in regard to his looming free agency.
