Even though the season just started, The OKC Superstar is on the radar of various teams, and rumor has it that he’s making it know that he is only interested in two. Hit the jump for details.

Via CBS Sports:

The Texas teams will take their shot if they hear the right intel, and Durant’s hometown Wizards are biding their time in the easier conference. That intel is all over the place, by the way. Some teams are optimistic it will be open season, and others have heard rumblings that Durant has already made it known it will come down to the Thunder and Wizards. Nobody really knows.

Reminder: the Wizards hired David Adkins, who coached Durant in high school, as an player development guy. Durant told USA Today’s Sam Amick that a few months ago in the offseason that it would be tough to leave Russell Westbrook, but he was trying not to think too much about the future:

“Our relationship has grown a lot, and it’s one of those things where it would definitely be difficult to not be running up and down the court with him, so I try not to even think about that,” Durant says. “But at the same time, I just want to enjoy the moment and not worry about the future, even though it’s tough to. I go home, and everybody asks me. Man, it’s crazy. Like little kids, 4 years old, ‘You coming to the Wizards?’ Man, (expletive), how do you know about this? At 4 years old, I didn’t even know what basketball players were. How do you know about free agency?”

One more reminder: before Durant left Team USA, the topic of teaming up with Wall and Beal in Washington came up. Again, from USA Today’s Sam Amick:

“It’s not a bad (idea) at all,” Wall told USA TODAY Sports about the idea of Durant eventually adopting James’ homecoming strategy. “Two of the best guys in the East going head to head four times a year? It’d be pretty exciting. You just sit back and watch and see what happens, but (the Wizards’ Durant-motivated moves) definitely lets him know that we want him around.”
