Amid the ongoing rumors surrounding his squad, Bob Myers — Golden State Warriors president of basketball operations — is confident that Kevin Durant will re-sign with them.
The 30-year-old Durant will be a free agent this summer. And according to various rumors and reports, the former league MVP will likely test the waters and head to the free agency market. The talks have heightened, especially since the New York Knicks recently sealed a blockbuster deal that gave them enough cap space to sign two max players in the summer.
After the news broke, all eyes looked to Durant as one of the potential elite players that the Knicks might go for. But amid all this, Myers remains confident that the 10-time All-Star will re-sign with them:

Whether Durant stays or not is still a matter of wait-and-see. And given his star power and level of basketball talent, any team he goes to will be considered a legitimate threat. Whether he stays with the Warriors or not, it will heavily affect the competitive landscape of the league.
