With the NBA playoffs (finally) nearing their conclusion, all eyes will head toward July 1st, when free agency begins. While we doubt LeBron will once again make this the summer of LeBron (part 3.5), this could be Kevin Durant’s time to shine. After signing a contract extension previously with the Thunder (announced with a subtle touch on Twitter), Durant is finally going to have his opportunity to get the true free agency feel.
For months (years), the Wizards have ben setting themselves up for Durant to come home. The D.C. native, would be welcome back like the city’s favorite son and would immediately catapult the Wizards into a title contender.
