1. Kevin Durant, forward, 27, Oklahoma City: It’s a question years in the making. Will Durant bolt OKC? It makes the most financial sense for him to stay with the Thunder (for at least one more year), but he is taking in the experience of free agency. He is set to meet with at least six teams, including Golden State, before making a decision. The Clippers have been promised a meeting, while the eager Lakers are left out in the cold. Chance he leaves: 15 percent.
2. LeBron James, forward, 31, Cleveland: He’d be No. 1 if other teams had any chance of luring him away, but after making good on a vow and bringing a championship to his hometown, James is not going anywhere.
