Warriors floating costly Kevin Durant sign-and-trade scenario

Kevin Durant may have a different path to the Knicks.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Warriors are floating the idea of doing a sign-and-trade with the injured forward to benefit both Durant and Golden State. The Warriors are the only team in the league that can sign him to a super-max deal.

“One of the things that is being discussed right now is that the Golden State Warriors would offer Kevin Durant a five-year contract, (worth) $57 million extra than he could get signing elsewhere, let him rehab and then work with him to be traded.
