LOS ANGELES (AP) -If Kevin Durant leaves Oklahoma City, it won’t be because he doesn’t like it there.
The first-time All-Star forward already has gone on record as saying he thinks his team has a chance to win a championship if they stay together. Of course, that will hinge on whether Durant stays or bolts for a maximum contract offer elsewhere.
Durant, who has spent the past week playing leapfrog with LeBron James for the NBA scoring lead, says it’s too early to think about a new contract. The Thunder have never had a scoring champion in the franchise’s 43-year history, but that also doesn’t motivate him.
Durant becomes an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2011.
