I'm so sorry that we won't get to watch KD on the Warriors a second time.

Not surprised, there was plenty of reports that they were trying to land him again. Glad it didn’t happen though. I prefer the Warriors to be likable.

Steph answer is full of it. He doesn't want KD back. Lol.

As usual just saying the least offensive answer, going through the motions and keeping everyone happy on all sides by not rocking the boat.

-how much help does he need!?

-what lack of loyalty to his teammates!!!

-he knows he’s not good enough on his own

-true GOAT should want to beat a guy like KD, not recruit him

-Curry the GM always meddling with roster moves, trying to force his front office to make the moves he wants

-could he even win without a super team handed to him??!

-leave it to Curry to try to force his front office to trade young guys for some old guy in his 30’s, sacrificing the future for his own personal goals.

They’re so good they’d still contend for titles even at 40 years old.

Hmmm I can see a different player in this scenario. Who could it be?

KD has thrown some shade at the warriors since leaving but I love that Steph's answer is nothing but class. It's not hard to see why he's so respected in GS, dude is a by all accounts as great a teammate as you can ask for.

And no duh they entertained trading for KD lol

How would they have even got him considering the contracts? It'd have to be a three team deal no?

Of course he'd want to have KD if the Nets would accept a trade of players not named Curry, Klay, Draymond, Wiggins. Why wouldn't warriors want him for a combination of the rest of their squad?

Alright, if Steph Curry really gave his blessings....

Man, that JP/JK/JW trio though... I can watch and enjoy for the next 10 years with that core.

Anyone know what Curry is referring to here?

"I think he has had certain things happen in his life that hurt his ability to trust people around him in a sense of making him feel safe at all times."

In the games they were engaged, that was the best basketball I’ve ever watched in my life.

I'm just purely guessing here. But maybe one of those events was when Draymond Green called him by the b word? Durant looked very close with Green during his tenure in the Bay Area. I know for sure it doesn't feel good to get called like that in public by one of your closest friend.

Nobody outside of San Francisco and maybe ESPN wanted to see that
