There has been a cloud all over Kevin Durant's future with the Oklahoma City since last year as he is set to become one of the biggest free agents in the history of the NBA. Durant is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2015-2016 season.

Besides the Thunder, teams rumoured to court the 2014 MVP next year are the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks and his hometown team of Washington Wizards. In an earlier report by ESPN, the Wizards started making steps in luring the four-time scoring champion.

The Wizards, along with the District of Colombia, will build a $55 million entertainment and sports arena. The construction of the new state-of-the-art practice facility is set to begin in 2016 with plans to be completed in fall of 2018.

Wizards all-star guard John Wall is willing to pitch for "KD2DC" movement as they try and lure the four-time scoring champion. He told CSN Mid-Atlantic, "There's gonna be an opportunity to throw a pitch at him to try to get him to come back home."

"But I know one thing of just knowing him he's going to be very focused on taking care of Oklahoma City this season, and I'm going to be focused on taking care of the Washington Wizards. But when the time is right and he can get away from all that, yeah, we'll probably have some conversation and throw a pitch," the 25-year-old added, as quoted by ESPN.

The Thunder are still optimistic that their superstar will re-sign with them as Durant told Revolt TV back in April that he probably wants to finish his career in Oklahoma City. "I love it here, man. I love my teammates, I love the city, I don't really think about anywhere else. I love it here and I would love to get my jersey retired here," KD said via another ESPN report.

"I love staying in the moment, and I'm one of those guys that would love to stick it out with one team my whole career.  Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki type. That's awesome," the 26-year-old added.

Durant is coming off an injury riddled season as he had three surgeries on his foot but has been medically cleared for all basketball activities. Thunder GM Sam Presti told ESPN, "He feels great. Looks great. It's great to have him back on the floor. Happy for him because he's been so committed and so disciplined to that process of getting back on the floor."

Oklahoma City is in a win-now situation as an early playoff exit will increase the chances of Durant leaving for a better team that can deliver him his first championship ring.
