If Durant wants to go to DC and OKC knows it... do they/should they trade him before he is a free agent? I say yes and yes, but it there is always a chance he would change his mind and resign, so they would be killing that. Just think what LA would do if they thought they could have a chance at KD the last year of his contract. They would assume that they could win him over long term over that year. I can't even imagine what OKC could get for Durant at this point... but it would be enough to keep them playoff-relevant, that's for sure
