Kevin Durant creates Washington Wizards buzz with tweet
Kevin Durant grew up just outside of Washington, D.C. The Oklahoma City Thunder star will be a free agent after the 2015-2016 season, and there has already been speculation that one of the frontrunners to sign Durant will be the Wizards.
On Monday, Durant got the Twitter world buzzing when he responded to a tweet from ESPN’s Britt McHenry about wanting to see him back at Montrose Christian, where Durant went to high school.
@BrittMcHenry just wait on it

Durant was probably hinting that he is going to film a commercial similar to the Beats by Dre one LeBron recently did. But of course, the response was enough for Twitter to come to the conclusion that Durant is planning to come home like LeBron did.
@AlexKennedyNBA thats actually a lie. She didnt ask me about that, she asked me about shootin a commercial back in my hometown. Get it right

Yes, there is a difference. Durant is still two full seasons from free agency. Anything can happen between now and then, and his decision will likely come down to whether the Thunder have won an NBA championship and where their roster is at. He hasn’t ruled out returning home to play for the Wizards, but why would he? The more teams interested in your services, the better.
