The Los Angeles Lakers continue to pursue a meeting with Kevin Durant.

The Lakers will contact Durant and his representatives when free agency begins on July 1st and are confident they will be granted a meeting.

"I can't imagine Durant wouldn't talk to us," the source said. "That would shock me."

The Lakers believe they have a pitch that will appeal to both Durant and other free agents.

With the ability to clear more than $60 million in cap space, they will attempt to sell stars on the potential of joining the Lakers with another top-tier free agent, the source said.

"We want to pitch guys on combinations, as opposed to just one guy," the source said. "We'll say to a guy, 'Who do you want to play with? We've got the room to go get him.'"
