Kevin Durant is poised to be one of the most sought-after free agents this offseason, but what he won't do is some grand recruiting tour.

The Thunder forward told reporters Wednesday he won't travel from city to city to be wined and dined by NBA teams once the league's free-agency period begins on July 1.
"That's not who I am," Durant said during the Thunder's postseason media availability. "I'm not that type of person."
Oklahoma City's season came to an end Monday night after it lost to Golden State. The Thunder blew a 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference finals and there is wide speculation Durant will leave the Thunder after nine seasons with the franchise. Many believe the 27-year-old will eventually head to his hometown Washington Wizards.
"I will talk to my agent, my best friend and my dad," Durant told ESPN Monday. "Just talk to those three guys and get some advice from other people. But for the most part, I will talk to them in the next couple of weeks."
STEELE: Durant is the victim, according foolish NBA conspiracy theorists
Durant was the league's seventh-highest paid player this season with a salary of nearly $22 million. While that number won't increase much — Lebron James has an annual price tag of $24 million — Durant will have to decide which team gives him the best option to win a championship. He's helped lead the Thunder to the conference finals four times. He reached the NBA Finals in 2012, only to lose to James and the Miami Heat in five games.
The Wizards have a ton of space under the NBA's soft salary cap and Durant could join rising stars John Wall and Bradley Beal. The University of Texas product could also opt to join any of three teams in the Lone Star State (San Antonio, Dallas and Houston). The Spurs would team Durant up with two-time Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge while providing aging veterans Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli with one last chance at another title.
The Heat are another team with a bunch of room under the cap, as are the Boston Celtics, who would love Durant's versatility to go with their talented backcourt.
While he has plenty of options, teams will have to come to him — or more likely, his agent. Durant doesn't do pomp and circumstance.
