Durant still has two years remaining on his contract. James and Anthony are unrestricted free agents. They have dominated the news, which is fine with the unpretentious Durant.

“They deserve all the attention,’’ Durant said. “They deserve to be courted; they deserve the max contracts. I respect those guys so much.’’

• Butler has played in the NBA for 12 seasons. He has played with several superstars i.e. Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant.

When Butler introduced Durant to his campers, he said, “This is the most humble superstar I’ve ever been around.’’

• Durant thinks the Milwaukee Bucks may have hit the jackpot with their selection of Jabari Parker as the No. 2 overall selection in last June’s draft.

Said Durant: “I saw Jabari in high school; he came to my camp in Chicago. He’s going to be a stud.’’

Parker, who signed with the Bucks Wednesday, will make his Bucks’ debut Friday night when Milwaukee takes on Cleveland at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. That game will also feature swingman Andrew Wiggins, whom the Cavs made the No. 1 overall pick.
