It was only a matter of time… Practically every upcoming free agent is always linked to the Lakers at some point and now we have Kevin Durant. It’s been reported that Durant is heavily leaning towards remaining with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the “homecoming” to the Washington Wizards is a close second. Now it’s being reported that LA is his preferred landing spot.
via SLAM:
On ESPN’s “First Take” Tuesday morning, Stephen A. Smith said that sources have told him Durant’s preferred landing spot is the Los Angeles Lakers if he does not re-sign with the Thunder next summer.
“Regardless of how senseless it may (sound), in one breath I’m hearing that if Kevin Durant doesn’t stay in Oklahoma City, L.A. is his primary objective and landing spot as opposed to South Beach or even his home of Washington, D.C.,” Smith said.
“I heard Melo, Kevin Durant, Kobe,” Smith added. “And when you take into account that Phil Jackson is on the record saying it might be Kobe’s last year in L.A. — opening the door that there are possibilities for him to go elsewhere. All I’m saying is you just never know.”
I’ll leave my two cents out of this one and let you decide on the legitimacy yourself.
