Maccabi Tel Aviv Playing 'Mind Games' On Interest In Durant
Maccabi Tel Aviv has been mentioned as a potential suitor for Kevin Durant, but their interset isn't believed to be genuine.
“These are just mind games going on," said one source.
"Maccabi did not make an offer for Durant to come. It was a nice trick and can't see Maccabi spending this kind of money. Maybe other European teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona have the money for this kind of deal."
Durant Will Expand Search For Overseas Team
Kevin Durant's exploration of a deal overseas will expand, according to a source.

Durant is against taking the owners' current offer to end the lockout.
“I know it’s not a good one,” Durant said of the proposal. “It’s not the one that we want. …If it’s not a good deal, I don’t see why we should take it, especially this late.”
