They think he'll sign a one-year contract so that he and Westbrook are both free agents at the same time in 2017.

In 2017, KD will also be a ten-year service player and he can command 35% of the cap and the cap will be $103M. So he can sign a $35M a year contract - that's like a five year $180M deal.

There's no way he leaves this off-season and there's probably no way he leaves OKC at all.

I also think he will want to see what Westbrook and Ibaka do.

Around the 1:20:00 mark of this podcast.

I don't see KD leaving - we haven't heard a peep about his free agency. I think he does the one-year deal thing.

isnt that what ive been sayingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg lol

ill go dig up previous forums to see where i wrote that

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

from jan 6th

"i think KD will or maybe i think he SHOULD stay there for one more yr...that will make him a 10 yr vet. give the old gang a try with he and westbrook and ibaka. if that doesnt work out then he will earn even MORE MAX MONEY as a ten yr vet the following yr"

haha, you are correct. I didn't see that post. I don't see him leaving, certainly not this summer.

Apparently Zack Lowe wrote an article back in October about all this, too.
