The Clippers made a four-hour pitch to Kevin Durant on Friday evening in the Hamptons on Long Island, N.Y., in hopes of landing what would be the most prized free agent in their history.
One person familiar with the meeting said it “went very well,” with the 2014 NBA most valuable player appearing engaged with a presentation that focused on how the veteran small forward would help build a championship-caliber roster.
There was some thought that Durant would let the Clippers know by Saturday whether they were still in the running for his services to help with the balance of their free agent planning.
