Kevin Durant remains intrigued by the Golden State Warriors, so they sense, but he still isn’t sure if he can bring himself to leave Oklahoma City, according to a report.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reported Sunday that there is a belief in the Warriors’ camp that Durant is very interested, but the prospect of leaving the Thunder may be too much for them to overcome.
The sense from Durant to GSWs, according to a source, continues to be that he likes their team but doesn't know if he can/should leave OKC.

Kawakami notes that Golden State also had NBA legend Jerry West put in a good word with Durant.

The prevailing wisdom has always been that Durant is most likely to remain with Oklahoma City, though the Warriors were regarded as the team likeliest to tempt him away. In addition to Golden State, virtually every notable athlete in the city of Boston has been trying to pull him to the Celtics. Expect a decision to come soon.
