This would be something to see.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramon Shelburne, free agents Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard have talked with each other about potentially teaming up with each other in free agency.
At this point, the only two clear possibilities would be the Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks.

When free agency opens up on Sunday, both Durant and Leonard plan on talking to both the Clippers and Knicks. So, while it seems unlikely to happen, there is a scenario where both superstars could end up playing on the same team.

Especially with the Achilles injury that will keep him out next year, the Golden State Warriors have to be the favorite to re-sign Durant. However, there are reportedly four teams that KD remains undecided about when free agency begins.
Leonard just won a championship with the Toronto Raptors in his first year, so you can't rule them out in terms of re-signing him. However, Kawhi has been linked to both LA teams, so you can't rule out him signing with either hometown club either.
