The biggest question surrounding next year’s crop of NBA free agents is where Kevin Durant will end up.
Knicks star Carmelo Anthony seems to think Durant will end up right back in Oklahoma City when all is said and done.

“Come on man, he just got into the (Oklahoma) Hall of Fame,” Anthony told the New York Daily News. “He’s a big part of Oklahoma. Not just from a basketball standpoint but from an economic standpoint and a business standpoint. He’s a major part of what goes on out here.”
Anthony knows a thing or two about being a highly sought free agent. The 30-year-old forward flirted with the Bulls, Rockets, Lakers and Mavericks before re-signing with the Knicks for more money before the 2014-15 season.
Which is why Anthony said he can relate to Durant.
“As much as we say we try not to think about it and not worry about it there comes a time when you do have to think about those things. Maybe not when we come to the arena but when you’re home you think about it. For him I think it’s more about trying to get healthy,” Anthony said. “I know he’s not worried about free agency.”
