"You guys really don't know (expletive)," Durant told reporters in his final interview session before Sunday's All-Star Game.
Durant was later asked what stories he would like the media to focus on more.
"To be honest, man, I'm only here talking to y'all because I have to," Durant said. "So I really don't care. Y'all not my friends. You're going to write what you want to write. You're going to love us one day and hate us the next. That's a part of it. So I just learn how to deal with y'all."
Kevin Durant didn’t mince words Friday at Thunder training camp when asked about the potential rumors of Durant heading to the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Stephen A. Smith said on his ESPN show that Durant had Los Angeles as his primary destination in free agency.
“I don’t talk to Stephen A Smith at all. No one in my family, my friends do. So he’s lying,” said Durant.
Durant will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
“Like I said before, I have two people I talk to about everything,” said Durant. “I know for a fact they didn’t talk to him.”
Durant reiterated his original comments, “he’s making up stories.”

Durant walked back his initial comments back in February and I truly wish he hadn't. While no one athlete ever should position themselves against the media, I think guys have the right to express themselves when media members interject hearsay and protect themselves by claiming Reports indicate. It's ******** and not only is it unnecessary for something that's 8 months away, but one could argue it's detrimental to a players brand for salacious sports stories to be thrown around that regularly seem to include the teams with the largest fan bases.
o/u 15 techs for cousins next season?
i'll take the over . he had 14 last year
If LeBron was cosigning TT as hard as you say he is then he would have already been signedListen, there can be no cap and Tristan still wont be worth close to 17.5 per. I cant believe Lebron cosigns this dude so hard.
3:10 PM - 2 Oct 2015Regarding @KDTrey5 and his negative comments about me, let me say this: At NO time did I ever say I SPOKE to K.D. Or his family. Or his brother, friends, teammates, etc. (although I can assure you all I have on several occasions in the past). I said I HEARD from folks I know -- in a league I've been covering for 19 years -- that if he were to leave OKC as a free agent, these are the cities I was told he was considering. OKC. LA. Miami. DC. NY. I stand by it all. And that is that.
His assertion that I was lying is not only FALSE, but totally uncalled for. Especially from a player who receives nothing but praise not only from me, but from practically every media member you can find. Yet, for some reason, we're all the same folks who don't know *&%$ about the game of basketball. Whose thoughts he could give a &^%$ about. Essentially, individuals he wishes he'd never have to talk to.....that he's being forced to tolerate.....as if someone has done something to him.....OF ALL PEOPLE!
Don't know what has happened to Mr. Durant over the years. But I know this much: We all win with his return, because he is an absolute superstar. The NBA is better with him. We're all at a loss without him.
It just appears that @KDTrey5 needs to learn something about today's world in professional sports:
We don't have to talk TO HIM to talk ABOUT HIM!
Folks like ME will still be here. Watching! Listening! Waiting! Reporting!
Whether he likes it or not. While he's here and long after he's gone.
Time to get use to it.
Stephen A is like every other ESPN stooge - they are searching for attention from the popular kids in school. Him and Broussard have a lot in common.
Pity for us we live in the era where this not only is allowed but it is applauded by your employer.
