The Golden State Warriors are reportedly giving up on their dreams of reuniting with Kevin Durant.

Per The Athletic's Anthony Slater and Sam Amick, the Warriors "have decided to move on from their pursuit of" the Phoenix Suns star. Durant was reportedly "cold to the idea" of reuniting with his former team.

NBA insider Marc Stein reported that Golden State is shifting its focus to the Miami Heat's disgruntled star, Jimmy Butler. According to Stein, Dennis Schröder's expiring contract "is a central element" of a potential trade.
