Last season, the Golden State Warriors pulled off a miracle run to win their fourth title in eight years. Many believed it was the rise of their dynasty once again. Moreover, the organization kept faith in its current roster. GM Bob Myers didn’t make heavy changes to the shape of the franchise. However, this season has made one thing clear, Stephen Curry and the Warriors aren’t what they were supposed to be. The reigning champions are now 6-9 to start the season. Curry has been the lone superstar carrying the major load. But that hasn’t translated to success. Hence, Stephen A. Smith believes they should consider reuniting the three-point king with Kevin Durant.

Last season, the Bay area was a step off from their full power, or so the fans thought. Klay Thompson had one of his worst post-season runs much due to his long return from injury. However, his form this season has been underwhelming. The back-to-back ACL hits seem to have weighed him down significantly. The Splash Brother is averaging just 15 points while shooting a poor 33% from downtown. In addition, highly talented young center James Wiseman hasn’t stepped up to the challenge of taking the bigger role. The 21-year-old was recently shifted to the Warriors’ G-League affiliate in hopes he polishes his skills.

However, time waits for no one. While the four-time champs deal with the shortcomings of their roster, Curry has been blazing hot this season. However, there is only so much one man can do alone. Likewise, Smith believes it’s time the Warriors value his golden time and bring back their two-time Finals MVP, Kevin Durant. But the fans wanted no part of the deal.

Should Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant reunite?

The Baby Face Assassin had yet another masterclass go to waste. Despite his 50-point night, the Phoenix Suns dominated the reigning champions. Curry’s efforts went in vain as he desperately tried to bring his team back to life. Following the defeat, the Warriors are shockingly 0-8 on the road so far this season. This disappointment led to a major question, what should the Warriors do? And celebrated analyst Stephen A. Smith wants them to make the most of the reigning Finals MVPs greatness. His suggestion is to do whatever it takes and bring back Kevin Durant to the Bay.

Durant’s situation with the Brooklyn Nets arguably might be worse than that of Curry. Drama has surrounded the franchise for the better part of two seasons now. Moreover, with Kyrie Irving serving his suspension with no timeline, the ‘Slim Reaper’ has accepted they aren’t a winning franchise anymore. Hence, Smith wants the defending champions to capitalize on the situation and deliver Curry the help he rightfully deserves.

However, the Dub Nation stood strong in numbers, just like their motto. They want no part of Kevin Durant as the sole belief remains, that trouble follows the 12-time All-Star.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

The Golden State Warriors are truly in a place of doom right now, languishing down in 12th on the Western Conference table. Stephen Curry‘s MVP-like season has been reduced to a losing record. The two-time MVP is arguably at his highest peak, and it’s the franchise’s job to surround him with adequate help. Head coach Steve Kerr said there isn’t much time left for the Warriors to enjoy their core together at the same time. Hence, with their biggest franchise star going all out, having the best men around him is their only hope to think about defending their title this season.
