Kevin Durant met with the Oklahoma City Thunder for several hours on Thursday ahead of the start of free agency.

"The meeting further solidified his belief" that Durant will re-sign with the Thunder, according to Wojnarowski.

Durant is going into the meetings with rival teams with an open mind.

"Golden State has the best chance amongst the five (rival) teams," said Wojnarowski.

Durant is also intrigued by the Los Angeles Clippers. Durant loves the city of Los Angeles and is good friends with Chris Paul, while the presence of Steve Ballmer is also considered an ancillary benefit.

Durant is expected to make his decision by the end of July 4th.
