Kevin Durant knows exactly what he wants in the off-season.

Kevin Durant will probably be the biggest free agent this season which means pretty well every team in the NBA will be trying to get the two-time NBA champion on their team. Durant has a big decision on his hands: stay with a dynasty like the Golden State Warriors, or try and win a title somewhere else. Well, Durant shed some light on his hopes for free agency on the latest Posted Up Podcast with Chris Haynes.

"I just want to make sure I get as much money as I can on my next deal so I can stack up my money and figure it out," Durant told Haynes. "That’s the plan. Play basketball and stack money."

Durant also explained that money is what is important to him this off-season which makes sense considering he's taken a pay cut to play for a stacked Warriors squad. The former league MVP also explained that teams won't be able to "recruit" him and that all the extra bells and whistles that go into wooing him onto their squad just won't work this time around. 

"Arenas and doing extra s**t just for me? Like, nah. I just want to see if you're a real person if you are going to hold people accountable every day. Are we all coming to work and enjoying basketball every day?" Durant explained.

It's obvious that Durant isn't playing around and is taking his next big decision very seriously.
