Whether the Warriors are actually interested in reuniting with Kevin Durant remains to be seen.
There have been many reports claiming that Golden State discussed the meeting internally And even raggiunse i Brooklyn Nets. on the trading opportunity.
Heavy.com NBA columnist Steve Bulpett talked to several league executiveswho disagree that the Warriors are actually interested in Durant.
“Sources have mixed views that Golden State is genuinely interested in signing Durant again,” writes Bulpett.
One said: “I think they are worried about where KD might end up. [The Warriors] it’s in a good place. They have young guys behind their veterans and they can be really good for a long time, so I’m not sure they really want KD. But I think they’re worried that he might go somewhere and beat them, if that team isn’t exhausted from what they have to do to get him.
Another scorer from another club, when briefed on the concept, said, “Oh, I think they’d get KD right away. They want to make sure they win more championships with the veterans they have. They want to squeeze more out of this core.
“You never know what can happen, so when you have a chance to win, you have to do everything possible to win it.” Look at all the injuries they have had to overcome in the past two years to win this time.
FS1 analyst Ric Bucher spoke to an Eastern Conference CEOwho said he would be willing to part ways with the young Golden State core of Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody to re-sign Durant.
“I’d give up all those young people,” the GM told Bucher. “And who would you prefer, KD or Wiggins? And now. When Steph leaves, their championship goes too. “

July 3 from Andscape Marc J. Spears reported it that the Warriors stars have been in contact with Durant since his exchange request, a possible sign that the trio led by Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green would welcome a reunion.
