Stephen Curry Claims Warriors Explored Trading For Misunderstood Kevin Durant

Last month, Stephen Curry gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which he stated that the Golden State Warriors had internal discussions about acquiring Kevin Durant and he’d wish to compete again with his former teammate, who ultimately reconciled with the Brooklyn Nets. Curry also stated that he would love to play again with Kevin Durant.

If He Was Available, Would You Hire Him?

Every team has those conversations, and obviously, in our situation, they’re going to call me and ask me, ‘How do you feel about it?'” said Curry, who did multiple interviews with the magazine as part of its October cover story. “There was a conversation internally amongst us about ‘If he was available, would you?’ Every team has those conversations.”

Curry stated that he was “never hesitant” in endorsing the concept of a reunion with Durant, who was his teammate for three seasons that saw the Warriors win two championships and Durant won back-to-back NBA Finals MVP awards.

During those three seasons, Curry was a part of the Warriors team that won both championships. Durant won both of those awards. In 2019, Durant made the move to the Brooklyn Nets in a contract agreement, which marked the end of his tenure spent with the Golden State Warriors.

Also, Curry Said That He Had A Conversation With His Brother, Seth

Curry also said that he had a conversation with his brother, Seth Curry, who is now playing for the Nets alongside Durant.

Stephen Curry believes that Kevin Durant is a “very decent man” although he is sometimes misunderstood. “The concept of playing with KD and understanding who he is as a person, from our experience in those three years.”

Curry stated, “I think KD is a really good dude.” “I believe he has had certain things happen in the life that has affected his capacity to trust people around him, in a sense of making him feel secure at all times. As a result of playing with him and getting to know him, I understand all of those things. I adore that man.”

Curry, on the other hand, stated that although he was open to the prospect of reuniting with Durant on the court. He had to take into account the financial implications of making a trade for the former Most Valuable Player. He is certain the Warriors can win another championship with the players they currently have.

Now That KD Is Well Again, We Can Reunite On The Court

“And if you said, ‘Oh, KD’s coming back, and we’re going to play with him,’ I had so much fun playing with him those three years that I’d be like, ‘Hell, yes!'” Curry said in an interview with the magazine.

“And if you said, ‘Oh, KD’s coming back, and we’re going to play with him.” “At that point, you are going to need to ask yourself: What does it genuinely mean? What does it seem to be?”

“When you tell me that I’m going to be playing with current Warriors teammates Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and Draymond Green, I’m like, ‘Hell, yes!

The league experiences a diverse range of feelings and is subject to a variety of events. And if someone on our team is stating that you wouldn’t even accept the possibility of having that discussion.

I have nothing but the utmost regard for them, but you have no idea how things operate. But you also recognize, like, if we run this thing again, I’ve got great faith in my squad that we can win it again, as structured. You acknowledge this, right?

Finishing Off

Durant first requested a trade on June 30, and he reiterated that desire in a meeting with Nets governor Joe Tsai in London last month.

Throughout that meeting, Durant sought Tsai to choose between him and the communications team of trainer Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks, officials told to ESPN.

Durant also wanted Tsai to pick between him and the Nets’ general manager Sean Marks. On August 23, however, both Durant and the Nets came to an agreement that their “relationship” would “go ahead.”

This is the first year of the four-year, $198 million agreement that Durant signed with the Nets during the summer before last.
