In a move that has sent shockwaves through the NBA, Kevin Durant has reportedly requested a trade from the Phoenix Suns and is set to return to the Golden State Warriors. The stunning decision comes just [X months/years] after Durant joined the Suns, forming a star-studded trio with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. However, sources indicate that Durant has grown frustrated with Phoenix’s direction and sees Golden State as his best chance to chase another championship.
According to league insiders, Durant personally reached out to Warriors’ executives to express his interest in a reunion. The Warriors, who won two championships with Durant in 2017 and 2018, have been exploring ways to reshape their roster as they aim for another title run. Reports suggest that a blockbuster trade is in the works, with Golden State potentially sending multiple assets—including young stars and draft picks—to Phoenix.
“I just want to be in a place where I can maximize my game and compete for championships,” Durant reportedly told close associates.
The news has stunned the NBA world, especially after the Suns built their roster around Durant in hopes of bringing the franchise its first championship. Many believed that Phoenix’s trio of Durant, Booker, and Beal would dominate the Western Conference, but chemistry issues and injuries have hampered their success.
For the Warriors, this move would mark a historic reunion, as Durant was a key part of their dynasty alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. With Golden State still in the playoff mix but struggling to recapture its championship form, Durant’s return could immediately make them title favorites once again.
If the trade becomes official, it could go down as one of the most shocking moves in NBA history.
