The Golden State Warriors will have immediate issues to address this offseason once again. Among their top priorities will be the re-signing of All-Star Kevin Durant, who gave the team a massive discount this past offseason to allow them to sign the likes of Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala to long-term deals.

Durant declined his player option for the 2018-19 season and will be a free agent once this season concludes, but according to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, there are no signs he will go elsewhere in the summer.

The 2014 NBA MVP has found great comfort and joy playing alongside his new teammates and has started his tech empire by investing in the Silicon Valley, making the Bay Area no longer just a fun venture, but a place where he plans to grow his brand and businesses.

Durant will have to make certain concessions, due to the fragile nature of the roster construction, but he won't be deeply discounting the Warriors this time around, looking for long-term security amid the rising NBA salaries.

Golden State will have to sign Klay Thompson the next offseason and Draymond Green in 2020, both signings that could prove tough, especially with escalating contracts and a salary cap that keeps going up every season with TV revenue making it go through the roof.

The stability of this roster will be largely predicated in Durant's long-term deal, likely being the key cog in a very complicated puzzle the Warriors front office will attempt to maneuver in order to keep the core of all four All-Stars playing together for the next few years.
