The start of NBA free agency in July is still over a month away, but a smidgen of clarity has emerged regarding Kevin Durant's future in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City Thunder's 96-88 Game 7 loss to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals on Monday night at Oracle Arena.
According to ESPN.com's Marc Stein, the "most likely July scenario" revolves around Durant signing a two-year deal with the Thunder that would allow him to opt out after the 2016-17 season to maximize his value on the open market.
"Most of the league's best-placed observers" view signing a deal with those parameters as "Durant's most probable choice," Stein added.
However, Durant didn't offer much insight on his impending decision once the Thunder's season came to an end, according to The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears:
