Among the many NBA storylines to take hold thus far in the season, perhaps the most interesting has been the saga between Golden State Warriors teammates Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.
While some, including Durant and Green themselves, have attempted to brush off their exchanging of words on the bench as not having a lasting effect, many believe it could impact Durant in 2019 free agency.
He holds an opt-out clause that likely will be declined in favor of becoming a free agent and at that point signing a long-term max contract. The Lakers have been among the teams tied to Durant for quite some time now.
