"(It won't be) like LeBron," Durant said. "I doubt that. But we'll cross that bridge once we get to it."

Durant, who is friends with James, called the frenzy over his potential free agency "something new for the game" and "good to see."

"First of all, I know he's flattered," Durant said. "Growing up, being sought after as a player is something you always dream about. But I think he knew it would happen eventually. It's going to be fun to see what happens."
