Still months away from next season and the Kevin Durant saga is already making its entrance. It’s going to be a crazy summer in 2016, especially, when free agency hits.

With most of the top free agents already taken, free agent forward Andrea Bargnani was eventually going to receive interest from teams. One of those teams was the Sacramento Kings who Bargnani was nearing a deal with, according to Marc Stein. However, things took a sharp turn in a different direction over the past couple [...]
