Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant revealed the one thing he is thinking about when he enters free agency next year.
The two-time NBA champion is already rumoured to potentially be joining LeBron James at the Los Angeles Lakers or heading to the New York Knicks, but Durant said money will be a big factor in his decision.

"I am thinking about the money I'm going to get," Durant told The Athletic.
"I never got the [massive] deal. I've just seen a bunch of dudes around the league making so much money – and I'm happy for them.
"But I know I deserve that, too. That's the only thing I'm probably thinking about, to be honest."
Durant re-signed with the Warriors in July and will make $30million this season.
The 30-year-old forward has helped the Warriors win back-to-back NBA championships since joining Golden State in 2016 and he has earned two straight Finals MVP awards during his time with the team.
Durant, a nine-time All-Star, averaged 26.4 points and 6.8 rebounds last season.
