NBA Free Agency tracker and instant reaction: Kevin Durant demands trade

Lu Dort re-signs in OKC, Nic Batum re-signs in LA

As the big names continue to look for their respective big paydays, Lu Dort has elected to cash in his own abilities for a  five-year, $87.5 million deal to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dort has proven his worth during his time in OKC and he now gets his due dividends.

The Thunder are building something special and Dort is now, clearly, one of their clear foundational pieces.

Elsewhere, Nic Batum also signed a two-year deal to return to the LA Clippers in an attempt to make a run to a championship. The Clippers are trying to keep the band together as they are expected to have a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Paul George this season.
