NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant will decline his player-option of approximately $28 million to re-sign with the Golden State Warriors when he becomes a temporary unrestricted free agent come July 1, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes.

Durant can take roughly $4 million less than what he's eligible to make in order to leave enough salary cap room to sign free agent sixth man Andre Iguodala and possibly even veteran guard Shaun Livingston.

The 28-year-old will become a 10-year veteran next season and can delay a rather beefy long-term extension in order to create the cap flexibility to keep the Warriors' core intact.

All signs point to Durant signing another one-plus-one deal, similar to the one he signed last year, allowing the Warriors not to have the need to resign the rights to any of their free agents this offseason.

The 6-foot-9 forward has jumped with both feet into the Bay Area and has said he intends to be with the team for the long term, having set himself into the area not only professionally, but personally — establishing different successful start-ups within the Silicon Valley.

Durant and his business partner Rich Kleiman have established their business, The Durant Company, in the Bay Area.

He's also created partnerships with California-based companies such as YouTube, Acorns, and Postmates, which has given him plenty of fruitful results throughout his lone year as a Warrior.

Durant revealed in a New York Times piece that he is in business with Silicon Valley “super angel” investor Ronald Conway and has consulted with Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs.
