Golden State Warriors Sign Can Reunite To One-Year, $194 Million Deal…
It’s no secret both Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors are nowhere near winning a championship these days. That can all change when both parties agree to reunite in the offseason to reignite their partnership on the court.
Before he joined the Dubs, Durant tried to win his very first ring with the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2015-16 season . While they reached the NBA Finals with a core of James Harden, Serge Ibaka, and Russell Westbrook, they were ultimately defeated by a Miami Heat team with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in it.
After he was defeated in the playoffs by the Warriors in 2016, Durant chose to join them the following year. What followed was a pair of championships for the All-Star forward and two Finals MVPs for his part in those two seasons. Unfortunately, both he and Golden State were unable to make it three-in-a-row after they fell to the Toronto Raptors in 2019.
The following year, Durant chose to sign with the Brooklyn Nets after his stint in the Bay. Unlike his three year run there, the two-time Finals MVP hasn’t had any real playoff success since then. Just recently, Durant and the Phoenix Suns were swept by Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, leading many to question whether he’ll stay in the Valley or force his way out to another team in the offseason.
