Raptors guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan have great chemistry on the court, and their close friendship off the court definitely plays a role in that. Kevin Durant certainly took notice during the Rio Olympics and hopes that find that for himself some day .

According to Raptors assistant coach Rex Kalamian, Durant would like to have a close friend that he can bond with on and off the court. Kalamian told the Toronto Star that Durant texted him in August, admitting that he was jealous on Lowry and DeRozan’s relationship.

Via The Star:

“Your two guys are the best. I’m jealous of their relationship, the way they get along with each other and the way they play together. The way they enjoy each other, it’s great,” Kalamian said of that text on Monday.

Of course, there was Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City who would have been more than willing to be Durant’s BFF, but that friendship has been jeopardized by Durant’s move to the Warriors.

Kalamian continued:

“I think it’s kind of what he wants. He wants that bond with someone . . . and I think he’s going to find that. “Early on in OKC, we had that.”

Durant will make his Golden State debut Tuesday night against the Spurs.
