The Golden State Warriors were looking to bring back former star Kevin Durant ahead of the 2025 NBA trade deadline, but Durant ultimately turned down any chance of a reunion. Despite winning two NBA Finals and two NBA Finals MVP awards while playing for the Warriors, Durant was opposed to getting traded back to Golden State.

Six days ago, we thought the best chance we had at a fun trade deadline was convincing Bradley Beal to waive his no-trade clause. Since then, Luka Dončić, Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler, Brandon Ingram, Khris Middleton and De’Aaron Fox have been traded. Beal is still chillin’.

Durant does not have a no-trade clause, but as noted by Chris Haynes, the Warriors would not have much interest in trading for Durant if he does not actually want to play there.
