Much like a year ago, Durant declined to opt in for the second year of his deal, allowing him to work on a more lucrative contract once the signing period begins Saturday night.
Durant only had to inform the Warriors if he planned to opt in, and the team had long been prepared for this move – merely a procedural decision – knowing his plans for months.

A year ago, Durant declined to opt in for the second year of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent. That also was expected as he wanted to do whatever he could to give the franchise financial flexibility to keep the core of the team intact to chase more titles.
Then Authentic Mats Zuccarello Jersey , the Warriors won another one earlier this month – and Durant hoisted the MVP trophy a second time.
After the season, Warriors general manager Bob Myers said Golden State would reward Durant with ”whatever he wants.”
”Sometimes you don’t negotiate. I’d love to have him for 10 years. Kevin Durant, look what he did for us last year, he did us a great service,” Myers said. ”He’s earned the right to sign whatever deal he wants. I just want him to sign a deal.

The Chiefs need a healthy Eric Berry.

Berry reports he’s healthy and feeling good after spending 2017 trying to help the Chiefs in other ways than making tackles and intercepting passes.
鈥淵ou can make an impact even when you鈥檙e not playing,鈥?Berry said. 鈥淵ou can still be in-tune to the game plan and in-tune to the situations that are happening. I have a lot of experience now, this is my ninth year. There are a lot of guys that are younger than me that can learn from what I know.
鈥淪o, even with the young guys Anton Stralman Jersey , I just keep spilling in knowledge to them because I know it鈥檚 going to help us as a team.鈥?/p>
Berry has made the Pro Bowl every healthy year of his career.
