Michael McNamara just tweeted that. We'll be one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the running for signing him. I guess it will be Washington, OKC, Lakers, Knicks, and the Pelicans. I think it will come down to us and the Wizards and I think he will decide to come to Nola to play with AD. Who thinks otherwise and why?
That is pure speculation. Durant is every team's Plan A next season. I would love to think we had a great chance of getting him, but at best we would be behind OKC and Washington. I would love to think AD would draw him here. But, even now, we are seeing some of the smaller FAs that we have been rumored to have offered, choosing to go elsewhere. So, does the AD draw overcome the small market hurdle? Who knows?

.. That is the point. I would love a List of smaller FA that we have offered that have turned us down.. I am sure its an outrageous number, we had so much money this off season to offer players. We have signed pretty much the people we wanted aside from Cole. We kept what we had and thats what we wanted to do.

LINK This article came out yesterday. Personally I can't see him leaving OKC to go another small market when teams like the Clippers and Heat come calling.

Yeah, he is everyone's Plan A, but I'm in the group that thinks KD will be salivating to play with AD. I agree with what a few people have said already in that we really need to have a strong showing this coming year and post season if we want him to consider us.
