Did Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors actually consider the idea of a blockbuster trade to bring their former superstar teammate Kevin Durant back to the Bay Area?

“Hell, yeah!” Curry tells Rolling Stone.

Curry sat down for a series of wide-ranging conversations as part of Rolling Stone’s October cover story, about athlete activism and philanthropy, mental health and public policy, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and much more. Curry talked a little hoops, too.

In one of five interviews, Curry revealed that he and the Warriors legitimately discussed whether and how to blow up the roster of the defending NBA champions this summer for a reunion with Durant, who dramatically split from Golden State in 2019 for the Brooklyn Nets following back-to-back titles.

Durant reconciled with the Nets late last month, after reportedly requesting a trade and demanding that his team’s owner fire the head coach and general manager. But Curry says his fellow future Hall of Famer is “misunderstood” — and that he would have welcomed back Durant with open arms.
