Kevin Durant: Intends to re-sign with Warriors

Durant has a $26.2 million player option for next season, which he’ll seemingly
be turning down to garner a longer deal with more guaranteed money. Considering
Durant and the Warriors are on the verge of their second consecutive
championship, with Durant a strong candidate for a second Finals MVP, this news
doesn’t come as a shock. That said, the possibility was always on the table for
KD to explore other options if he felt like he wanted a new challenge. With
Golden State, he’s averaged 25.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.6
combined blocks/steals while shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 40.0
percent from deep. Regardless of where he plays, he’s essentially a lock for
top-10, if not top-5, fantasy production.
