re: Where does Durant go in free agency?

Durant isn't going to the Sours because they don't have the cap room. Spurs have $84.5 million tied up next year and even if Duncan and Ginobili retire that only frees up $8.5 million. That puts them at $76 million and the cap is projected to be at $89 million next year. So unless you believe that Durant is going to take a 35% paycut from this year to be on a team that will consistent of him, Kawhi, LMA, Parker, Green, and Land Walrus and a few bags of potato chips, then no he's not going there.
The Warriors can make it happen if they dump Bogut and Livingston, but they would still have to resign Ezeli, Speights, and probably another one of their rotation players.
The Wizards only have $50 million in cap obligations next year but that's before resigning Beal and even with him they'll only have 6 rotation players signed up and that's before you drop $22 million plus for Durant. They could make it work, but Durant and Beal would have to take about 90% of their market value and I don't exactly see a core of Wall, Beal, and Durant beating a core of Curry/Klay/Green or Kawhi/LMA/Parker next year or even the following year.
Durant's best bet is to sign a 1 year contract with the Thunder with a player option for the 2nd. If Duncan and Ginobili retire after this season, then make one run at the Warriors with what you have because whomever wins the West the next 3-4 years is going to win the NBA title.

If Durant wants to be in SA, Danny Green will be traded
