“Agent Aaron Goodwin told ESPN.com on Tuesday night that he has met with officials from Turkish club Besiktas and has likewise begun exploring opportunities for Durant in Spain and Russia. Goodwin added that playing in China is not something Durant is considering at this time.

‘The Turkish option is very intriguing,’Goodwin said. ‘We’re looking at other countries as well. Kevin hasn’;t agreed to play anywhere yet, but we’re looking for the best fit.’

The Turkish newspaper VATAN has reported that Besiktas – if ultimately rejected by Bryant after weeks of trying to get the Los Angeles Lakers’ star swingman to commit to join New Jersey’s Williams at the Istanbul club in the event of an extended lockout – will shift its focus to trying to sign Durant.”
