When Kevin Durant makes his free-agency decision this summer, it'll be on his own accord and not funneled through a media channel.
"They need me," Durant said of the media, per NBC Sports Bay Area's Logan Murdock. "If I wasn't a free agent, none of this s--t would go on, right? None of this speculation about who I am, what's wrong with my mental, why I'm miserable, why I ain't happy with life. Nothing."
It's cool for these dudes to control their own stories. Could they be a bit less cold about doing so? Yes. Meaning... You don't have to come off like a s**thead to get the point across that you'll give your story how and when you choose to.
