Before the Golden State Warriors traded for Jimmy Butler in February, they were in talks with the Phoenix Suns to potentially bring Kevin Durant back to Golden State. The Warriors were looking to add another star to boost their chances at winning a fifth title, and Durant previously helped the team win two titles in 2017 and 2018.
Instead of Durant returning to the Warriors, it was the Dallas Mavericks trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers that rocked the NBA.
