On Thursday, NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole identified those four teams as the likely suitors for Durant's services.
Wojnarowski is reporting that Durant's "decision-making process could extend well into next week."
The Warriors are the only team that can offer Durant a five-year contract worth roughly $221 million. The other three teams can offer Durant a four-year contract worth around $164 million.

While the Nets had been seen as the biggest threat to lure Durant away from the Warriors, SNY's Ian Begley is reporting that Brooklyn is not considered the favorite to sign the two-time NBA Finals MVP.
