Durant to take his time amid NBA free agent frenzy (AFP)

Kevin Durant was still digesting Oklahoma City's Western Conference finals defeat when the simmering subject of his free agent future reached full boiling point. "I'm just embracing my team-mates and just reflecting on the season," Durant said Monday night after the Golden State Warriors rallied to eliminate the Thunder -- who had led the best-of-seven series three games to one. Durant, the 27-year-old former NBA Most Valuable Player, will be the most coveted prize of the free agency period that starts on July 1.
