The possibility of Durant on the move has to inspire a little hope for a reunion the Warriors should seriously consider.
The news sent shockwaves through the NBA world, yet it came as no surprise.
Durant’s hypothetical path back to the Bay Area is difficult to navigate, though not impossible. Let’s take a look.The odds are slim that Durant will be traded before Thursday’s deadline, let alone back to Golden State. After his failed trade request this summer, Durant signed a four-year, $194 million deal with the Nets and hasn’t voiced any desire to leave in the hours after Irving’s demand.
Maybe a minor addition can give them a boost at the deadline, but would Durant’s availability in the offseason inspire a more transformative roster shift? “We’re not good enough to win without execution,” coach Steve Kerr said after their loss to Minnesota. “We might’ve been a few years ago. We’re not good enough now.”
