OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant started his free agency tour in a familiar place.

Durant met with the Thunder on Thursday, hours before he officially hit the market.

Video from Fox 25 in Oklahoma City shows Durant arriving at Chesapeake Energy Arena and being greeted by general manager Sam Presti.

Durant still hasn’t made it clear whether he’s going to stay with the Thunder or chase a title elsewhere.

Staying with Oklahoma City makes sense for Durant. The Thunder had a 3-1 lead on the Warriors before losing the next three games. Durant and the Thunder’s young core could make a move in the West, but Durant will have strong suitors, as reports say he will meet with Golden State, San Antonio, Miami, Boston and the Clippers in the coming days.

Durant can maximize his earning potential by re-signing a contract with the Thunder that allows him to become a free agent again next year, then signing a longer deal when the salary cap takes another big jump. The Thunder will be able to pay him the most in the long term.
