The Kevin Durant sweepstakes are heating up after the Nets star reportedly requested a trade out of Brooklyn last week. Interestingly enough, one of the franchises that is uniquely positioned to strike a deal for the superstar forward is one of his former teams: the Warriors.
Given the way Durant’s first tenure with Golden State ended, a reunion seemed highly unlikely, but all bets are off after last week’s trade request. Of course, if any deal were to get done, Warriors star and leader Stephen Curry would have to be on board.
This week at the American Century Championship golf tournament in South Lake Tahoe, Curry was asked about the growing speculation regarding Durant. He shrugged off what he called the league’s “rumor mill,” saying that he was comfortable with where the Warriors were at after winning his fourth title last month.
