Kevin Durant has reportedly shut down any possibility of a return to the Golden State Warriors, despite trade discussions. The Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat remain the most likely destinations for the star forward.
Kevin Durant has reportedly made his stance clear: he doesn't want to return to the Golden State Warriors , nearly six years after leaving the franchise. Recent discussions between the Warriors and the Phoenix Suns regarding a Durant trade have seemingly hit a roadblock. Sources close to the situation revealed that Durant has no interest in a reunion with the Warriors.
While the Warriors had been actively pursuing Durant over the past week, their efforts have been met with resistance from the star forward. This news comes as the Suns had been exploring the possibility of acquiring Jimmy Butler in a trade involving Bradley Beal, which would have allowed him to play alongside Durant.However, with the Suns now considering trading Durant, a potential outcome is a deal that sends him to the Miami Heat in exchange for Butler. Analyst Brian Windhorst believes that Durant's future likely lies either with the Suns or the Heat, suggesting a resolution could be reached by the end of the day. Durant's preference for both the Suns and Heat was known when he requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets in 2022. Durant is currently under contract through the 2025-26 season. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are gaining momentum in their pursuit of a Brandon Ingram trade, holding ongoing talks with both the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors
