One of the biggest stories of the upcoming NBA season is Kevin Durant's pending free agency. The Lakers, because they're the Lakers, are always rumored to be in play for major superstars on the open market.

When Stephen A. Smith reported Durant was more interested in Los Angeles than the Washington Wizards or the New York Knicks, it seemed to be business as usual. Here's what he said:

"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."


A rumor like this would usually pass by quickly in the rapid NBA news cycle, but Durant wasn't OK with that, telling reporters this on Friday:

Kevin Durant on the Lakers rumors: "I don't talk to Stephen A Smith at all. No one in my family, my friends do. So he's lying."

UPDATE: Stephen A. has responded and ... man this is creepy:

It just appears that @KDTrey5 needs to learn something about today's world in professional sports:
We don't have to talk TO HIM to talk ABOUT HIM!
Folks like ME will still be here. Watching! Listening! Waiting! Reporting!
Whether he likes it or not. While he's here and long after he's gone.
Time to get use to it.


Stephen A. also called Durant's comments "totally uncalled for" ... and that was before the response went off the rails.

I like that people are calling out guys like SAS on their bullshite.

this is no different than Chris Broussard completely pulling out of his arse that Mark Cuban was driving around Houston looking for DeAndre Jordan's house while calling people begging to know where he lived.

"edited to correct blowhard reporter thanks to WCA"

Exactly. He completely side-steps KD's point, and then winds-up attacking him.

What else would KD say right before a new season? "Yeah, I might be a Laker next year, we'll see what happens..."? He said the only thing he can say right now. Reality is, KD will be looking around next summer, and it's pretty certain that he'll at least give the Lakers a visit

There is no way KD can know this for absolute fact.

Did he even read what KD said? I swear to God the guy can't say anything that isnt attacking or inflammatory. ESPN cant figure out why noone wants to watch tho.

Seriously? The guy is staying in OKC or going to the Wizards. Outside of those two everything else is just a pipe dream.

EVERY comment SAS makes is totally uncalled for... Yes I watch 1st take sometimes... I need a laugh... This morning was great though... Yesterday morning he said the Steelers would beat the crap out of the Ravens even with Vick starting... And this morning he was full of excuses instead of just saying he was wrong... Like I said I needed a good laugh...

And YES that racist POS needs to be OFF the air......

No you bring this shite up because you are a Lakers fan when it is obvious to literally everyone else who isn't one of those fringe Pels/Rockets idiots that thinks they also have a chance at bringing him in.
