Stephen Curry has confirmed he held discussions with Kevin Durant about the two-time Finals MVP rejoining the Golden State Warriors after his trade request from the Brooklyn Nets last season.
Durant left the Warriors in 2019 after three seasons in which the team was near invincible before injury ruined their chances of a third-straight NBA title. However, Durant’s time in Brooklyn didn’t go as planned, leading to his departure in February this year.
How close did Kevin Durant come to rejoining Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green at the Golden State Warriors?
The 34-year-old publicly requested a trade from the Nets on June 30 last year — a move that was initially denied before the franchise eventually relented in dealing him to the Phoenix Suns mid-season.
