Should The Warriors Have Made A Push For Kevin Durant?

Kevin Durant asked to be traded from Brooklyn Nets. He decided to stay in New York City with his teammates. The Golden State Warriors will be running it back themselves. Stephen Curry claims the team had internal discussions about bringing him back to the Bay.

Steph Curry wouldn't hold back when asked if the Warriors would make a trade for Kevin Durant.

The Nets didn't trade for Durant because they wanted too much for him. Brooklyn wanted the equivalent of the George Washington Bridge, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, and the Prospect Park Zoo. The Warriors would have had to give up Andrew Wiggins and most of their young prospects to get Durant. The team would also have needed to part with Jordan Poole and either Jonathan Kuminga or James Wiseman.

The Warriors don't need Durant. They have an embarrassment of riches. Klay Thompson could return to his old self after an offseason dedicated to training. The development of Kuminga and Wiseman, as well as guard Moses Moody, will make Golden State look ever more fearsome.

James Wiseman out-dueled Anthony Edwards last year.

The Warriors are far from broke and should not have made a push for Kevin Durant.
