The Golden State Warriors may retain Kevin Durant if he opts into his contract. That said, with every signing, especially with someone coming off an injury, there’s both risk and reward that must be looked at.

There have been multiple reports that teams are still interested in Durant long-term, but what type of contract are they willing to offer him?
