ESPN&#8217;s Shams Charania shared during a Wednesday afternoon appearance on\u00a0<em>NBA Today<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He does not want to go back to the Warriors, where he won two championships, won two Finals MVP&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Durant&#8217;s ultimate declination of any wish to be dealt to Golden State comes at a bad time for the Warriors organization, as new updates have shown that the franchise has pushed all of their focus towards re-acquiring the legendary scorer for another championship push next to two-time league MVP Stephen Curry.<\/p>\n<p>With only one year left on his contract after the conclusion of the 2024-25 campaign, Golden State may now be hesitant regarding a Durant deal, as it&#8217;s not guaranteed in any way, shape or form that he&#8217;d re-sign with the franchise in the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In 39 appearances with Phoenix this season, the 36-year-old Durant is contributing 26.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists while connecting on 52.4% of his opportunities from the field.<\/p>\n<p>As talks seemingly have advanced between Golden State and Phoenix, the Warriors reportedly discussed dealing their four-time champion and 2017 Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green in a potential Durant trade, showing just how far their front office was willing to go in order to complete a transaction.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Phoenix Suns&#8217;
