If there’s anything the current offseason in the National Basketball Association has shown, it’s that players want to control their destiny. They’re making plans based on developing realities and seeing how they can conceivably come closer to meeting their ultimate objective. Given the surfeit of talent, they understand that getting ahead means getting support. Which is why marquee names are constantly engaging with each other and cooking up scenarios where individual goals dovetail with collective pursuits.

As expected, Kevin Durant has declined his $31.5-million option with the Warriors, paving the way for his foray into free agency at the end of the month. Prior to the formal transmittal of his decision early this week, a number of quarters made the case that he would benefit from exercising it given his protracted recovery from surgery to repair his torn Achilles tendon. By the time he’s good to go next year, they argued, he can command top dollar whether he decides to stay or not. The premise is flawed, however. Even now, he has no shortage of suitors willing to break the bank for his services, hence eliminating the need for him to wait for his humongous payoff.
