What's Next For Kevin Durant?

What's happening with Russell Westbrook's recent play is intriguing. He has elevated his game so much to the point that he is officially in the MVP conversation. A conversation that was led by his currently injured teammate Kevin Durant. The former MVP is still out of the Oklahoma City lineup, but hopes to be back before the playoffs start. When he does return it will be interesting to see how the team reacts. Obviously there is no denying how great Kevin Durant is, but Westbrook has become the leader of this team, and has been keeping in the playoffs. Regardless of what happens this year, what does the future hold for the former MVP? In recent days I have started to hear rumors that Durant could be traded next season. It seems almost insane that the Thunder would trade such a great player, but crazier things have happened. The man was considered the best player in basketball last year, so to think he would be content with taking a backseat to Russell Westbrook seems questionable. Especially a man represented by hip-hop legend Jay Z. Where would he go? Back home to Washington? The big apple? or maybe even Los Angeles? The point is Kevin Durant could be on the move even sooner than we may have expected, due to the elevated play of Russell Westbrook.
