That is what NBA expert Adrian Wojnarowski believes.
Durant is entering into the final year of his contract with the Golden State Warriors.
And even though the franchise could pull off an incredible three-peat this year, the star is still expected to opt out of his contract at the end of the year.
He has the option of entering into an unrestricted free agency slot, meaning he will be free to speak to whichever team he likes.
Durant can also trigger an automatic one-year extension to his current deal.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been tipped as a potential destination for the forward, as they look to bring in a fellow star to team up with LeBron James.
Though, according to ESPN’s Wojnarowski, the two-time NBA Finals MVP will speak to the Knicks.
Speaking on the Fordham radio station WFUV, he explained that, whilst the Knicks are not favourites to get Durant, they are certainly a possibility.
“Getting a player like Durant takes years of building up a program, building up an infrastructure, building credibility with what you’re doing and history kind of shows you that it doesn’t get short-circuited by a guy who’s a big free agent,” he explained.
“If you’re talking about Kevin Durant, some people say he may be the best player in the league.
“History also tells you that that player usually either stays where he is or he goes somewhere where something’s been established there and has been building toward this.
“The Knicks may not fit that description.”
The Lakers are still favourites to land Durant, if he decides to leave Golden State.
The superstar has been reserved about his future, and has not discussed his pending free agency with any reporters.
However, it is claimed that team-mate Draymond Green told Durant “we don’t need you, we won without you. Leave” in an on-court bust-up.
After that feud, many predicted that Durant would leave the Warriors to show that they would struggle without him.
