People think Nike may have accidentally revealed Kevin Durant is staying with the Warriors

We have now reached the part of the Kevin Durant free agency guessing game where people are frantically analyzing T-shirts on Nike's online store.

On Saturday, a Twitter user called attention to a shirt on Nike's website that is part of the Kevin Durant collection.

"Nike has this @KDTrey5 shirt on the site that has all the Teams/Cities KD has played for," the user wrote. "The last 2 are Oakland & San Francisco. GSW last season in Oakland is this season. Next season they are in SF. Did @Nike confirm KD back to Warriors?"

The shirt in question says "Stay true" and "Easy buckets" on the front, and does indeed list San Francisco as one of the cities where Durant has played. But it's hard to believe Nike has inside information when Durant's own agent says the Warriors star is undecided on his future plans.

Still, this didn't stop a few fans from taking the theory as fact after a handful of websites reported on the shirt Monday.

"All this speculation all season about KD leaving and we find out from a Nike t-shirt that he's staying," one fan tweeted on Monday.

"I think Nike just slipped Kd staying in the bay," another chimed in.

Other fans were far more cynical.

"That KD Nike shirt means absolutely nothing, Warriors fans," one tweeted. "Don't be naive and put your hope into a T shirt."

The shirt is still currently listed on Nike's website; In the crazy event Nike did have inside information and accidentally tipped Durant's hand, it would likely have been removed by now. Unless you really want to put on your tin foil hat and contend Nike isn't removing it because doing so would signal they did accidentally reveal Durant's free agency plans.

But it's probably nothing.
