Kevin Durant disagrees with Cuban

DALLAS -- Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant strongly dismissed Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's suggestion that the NBA consider eliminating the maximum restrictions on contracts in exchange for players giving up guaranteed money.

Durant said he had a lot to say on the subject, but said it wasn't the appropriate time for him to express those thoughts publicly.

Cuban mentioned the possibility Tuesday night, calling it a "trade-off," hours after Durant said that several players are worth significantly more than the value of their max contracts.
