Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry revealed that a reunion with Kevin Durant was on the books after he requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets during the summer of 2022.
The only unanimous MVP in league history was very open to one of the greatest scorers of all-time coming back to The Bay, boosting the squad that was coming off a championship run.
Curry shared on The Ringer's Real Ones podcast that he was excited and curious about the possibility. He spoke to Durant a couple of times, although he tried to talk about it in a natural manner instead of focusing on the Xs and Ys.
"Yeah, we know our games gel, we know how to play basketball, so if it ended up being that. Of course I'd love to play with him, but it never really got past that. So, again, he wasn't really in the situation where, he could demand the trade, but he couldn't really control the outcome of it," the 35-year-old said.
Curry added that he didn't spend too much time after the initial shock of learning the news that Durant wanted out of Brooklyn.
Golden State was one of the teams interested when Durant's desire to be traded was publicized.
