Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant doesn't have a long-term contract because he wants to keep his options on the table.
Per USA Today's Erik Garcia Gundersen, Durant addressed his current contract situation with the Warriors and potential free agency next summer:
“Just one of those things where you're confident in your skills and taking it year by year. And keeping my options open was the best thing for me. I could have easily signed a long term deal but I just wanted to take it season by season and see where it takes me.
