Which team will Kevin Durant sign with during the summer of 2016? No one knows. He’s certainly made his rounds on the NBA rumor mill, though.

Yet again, Kevin Durant’s name is surfacing on the NBA rumor mill. With the summer nearing and Durant approaching unrestricted free agency, it’s not too surprising to see the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar emerging as an option for every team with cap space.

For those wondering which teams Durant has been linked to, this is your go-to list.

Durant will sign a max contract with whichever team he chooses, and there’s no objective reason to dispute his deservedness. The 27-year-old already has an NBA MVP award, a Finals appearance, and four scoring titles to complement his five All-NBA First Team and seven All-Star Game selections.

A resume like that guarantees a player a place in the Hall of Fame. It’s also generally accrued after the age of 27.

If Durant’s best years are ahead of him, then the NBA is right to be clamoring for his services. Whichever team Durant signs with will become an instant contender, and that’s why he’s widely expected to be the most coveted player on the open market.

The question is, which teams other than OKC have been linked to Durant over the course of the 2015-16 NBA regular season?
