Only a few days ago, a bombshell dropped on the NBA world. Kevin Durant surprised everyone after he requested the Brooklyn Nets for a trade. The two-time NBA champion is an offensive killer with Brooklyn and could have had another year with Kyrie Irving. However, it seems things are just falling apart for the Nets. The Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat are reportedly on Durant’s list of desirable destinations. But a return back to the Bay can’t be written off.

In 2016, the Golden State Warriors were on top of the mountain. After winning their first championship in a decade the previous season, they made history. A 73-win team was marching into the NBA Finals taking on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers once again.

However, in one of the most astonishing comebacks of all time, the Cavs came back from 3-1 down to win the series. Stephen Curry and the Warriors were distraught and knew they had to get help. That’s when the Slim Reaper made the move that shook the NBA core. Now, it looks like that could happen again.

After spending three seasons with the Golden State Warriors, the Slim Reaper decided to follow Kyrie Irving and join the Nets. However, his time there hasn’t had much to look back. Durant hasn’t been back to the NBA Finals even once. The Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat are the teams the 12-time All-Star reportedly wants to join. But a calling from the Bay is ringing him yet again.

Looking at what the Warriors can offer, the Brooklyn Nets could be inclined towards them. In the epic triumph, this season Jordan Poole was the biggest find for the Warriors. In addition, they have an All-Star in Andrew Wiggins who was second in Finals MVP votings. Tough rookies such as Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody would wrap up a perfect parcel in exchange for their former superstar.

But they have a lot to think about. With the winning culture back, the Warriors will look to do anything to gain an upper hand. And the Easy Money Sniper is the perfect assassin for the job. On the flip side, the Bay will have to forego much of its future.
