Report suggests Kevin Durant reuniting with former team isn’t ‘far-fetched’

It’s not even May yet, and the iconic NBA trio of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant is home — a scenario the NBA hasn’t experienced in 19 years.

Unless their teams make drastic roster upgrades this summer, the odds of any of the three legends competing for a championship next year are slim.

Two of the three linking up could be the best path to take down the rising youth.

The Warriors already attempted to pair up James and Curry at this year’s Feb. 8 trade deadline. According to ESPN, James turned down the idea.

Now, could the Warriors be exploring the idea of trading for Durant?

Warriors beat writer Monte Poole reported Monday that a pathway to a Curry-Durant reunion is more feasible than Curry and James ever becoming teammates. The NBC Sports report cited the upcoming Paris Olympics — where Durant and Curry will reunite as teammates after five years — as the setting where the seeds could be planted for a trade.

“Durant and Curry will reunite in July as members of Team USA. [Steve] Kerr is the head coach. Assuming no movement in the interim, they will have almost six weeks to engage in conversation and reminiscence,” wrote Poole, while adding that Warriors governor Joe Lacob’s commitment to retiring Durant’s No. 35 jersey is an indicator that he could “personally lay the red carpet for KD’s return.”

“A KD-Warriors reunion is not as far-fetched as it might seem,” the report added.

To pique Phoenix’s interest, the Warriors must offer Jonathan Kuminga, their most prized asset outside of Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Moses Moody, and at least a few first-round picks. Golden State owns only two tradeable first-round picks in the next seven years — 2025-27 or 2026-28.

With Curry turning 37 next March, the Warriors are under pressure to maximize his window. This offseason could be their last and only chance.
