Stephen Curry: 'Hell, Yeah' Warriors Considered Kevin Durant Trade amid Nets Rumors

When the Brooklyn Nets were exploring potential trades for star forward Kevin Durant, many had wondered if the Golden State Warriors would be interested in a reunion with him.

Golden State star point guard Stephen Curry told Matt Sullivan of Rolling Stone that the team would have welcomed Durant back, answering, "Hell, yeah!" when asked if it was ever under consideration this summer.

The Nets and Durant eventually reconciled and decided to forge ahead together. Curry said he would've had no issues if Golden State tried to convince Brooklyn to trade the 12-time All-Star.

"There was a conversation internally amongst us about 'If he was available, would you?' Every team has those conversations, and obviously in our situation, they’re gonna call me and ask me, 'How do you feel about it?' I was never hesitant," Curry explained. "The idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD’s a really good dude."

Durant starred for the Warriors from 2017 to 2019 and helped lead the team to two NBA championships and three straight NBA Finals appearances. He chose to sign with Brooklyn as a free agent, but his tenure with the team hasn't gone as he had hoped.

The Nets struggled through off-the-court turmoil last season and were swept out of the playoffs in the first round. The Warriors, on the other hand, went on to win their fourth NBA title in the last eight years, and Curry was named Finals MVP for the first time in his legendary career.

While Durant's trade request this offseason may have hurt his standing in the eyes of some people, Curry still supports his former teammate.

"I think he is misunderstood," Curry said. "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. So all of those things, I understand, having played with him and gotten to know him. I love that dude."
