During a news conference on Wednesday, Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams was asked about the most pressing topic in the NBA: Kevin Durant's impending free agency.
How will the 22-year-old New Zealander follow Durant's free-agent frenzy? Oh, that's easy. "[I will] just flick him a text and see what he's [going to] do, I guess," Adams said.

As the Thunder's breakout star during the 2016 NBA playoffs, one would think Adams might have some influence over Durant's decision. But Adams seems happy just to have Durant's phone number.
"I ain't trying to pressure him," Adams said. "And by the way, I'm real low on the totem pole. I'm lucky enough to get his number."
Durant will meet with the Thunder on Thursday before flying to Long Island to meet with the five other teams on his free-agency list over the weekend.
