Kevin Durant and James Harden have been spending time together this week but it isn't expected to factor into Durant's offseason plans.

Durant and Harden were teammates for several seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder before the latter was traded to the Houston Rockets in 2012.

The Rockets have long been thought to intend to pursue Durant, but he is not planning on considering them in his free agency.

The league office has historically chosen not to apply NBA tampering rules to players from rival teams who have contact with free agents before July 1, which is the first day teams can legally engage with free agents.
