Former Durant's teammate and current EuroLeague superstar Mike James was sure that any team would want KD on its roster. The star guard jokingly even offered him a yacht.

Former Roger Federer's coach and former no. 3 in the world himself Ivan Ljubicic added that he would offer free tennis lessons to Durant.

James and Durant are known to be good friends. Durant famously visited two EuroLeague playoff games last season where James played against Olympiacos Piraeus.

Durant hasn't played since January 8th due to a knee injury he suffered against the Miami Heat.

The Nets superstar forward is averaging 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game this season.
