The rules of engagement in NBA free agency for Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant appear to be unchanged, according to reports, with the Brooklyn Nets and other suitors apparently ready to charge full-steam ahead into a max deal, even if that means a season without Durant in 2019-20.
With Durant headed to New York for an examination on his injured right Achilles’ tendon, speculation raged Tuesday over whether the market for Durant — who can opt out of the final year and $31.5 million of the two-year contract he signed with the Warriors last July — would cool.
