Most of the focus this summer will be on the current group of free agents, but July is also when the Thunder can begin negotiating with a 2011 free agent: small forward Kevin Durant. The Thunder would have until Oct. 31 to work out an extension, or Durant would become a restricted free agent the following summer.
Durant, however, says he hasn't been thinking about his next contract, something that GM Sam Presti was pleased to hear.
“One of the things that makes him special is his ability to focus on what's in front of him,” Presti told NBA.com. “And what's in front of him right now is this season. He's thinking about what can make him a better player and a better teammate today. We're fortunate that we have a young player with that kind of maturity.”
