The Golden State Warriors are currently focused on securing a third consecutive NBA title, although Kevin Durant's future continues to be a major concern. Durant has yet to commit himself to the franchise, and the 30-year-old has continually stated his desire to lead his own team.

Due to this, Tim Kawakami of The Athletic is reporting that few around the league see KD remaining in Golden State this summer:

Most people in the NBA don’t expect (Kevin) Durant to re-sign with the Warriors no matter what happens in the playoffs.

Following his departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016, Durant joined the Warriors. He has won back-to-back championships with Steve Kerr's team, while also twice being named Finals MVP. Over the course of the 18/19 season, Durant averaged 26 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.
