In other words, don’t expect the Warriors to reunite with Kevin Durant. Sure, they know first-hand how valuable Durant can be — he helped them win back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018 — but after claiming another championship without him, the Warriors appear to be comfortable moving forward with what they have.

I caught up with Warriors GM Bob Myers at the ESPYs. Considering what Myers said here generally, safe to say Warriors don’t plan to reunite with Kevin Durant. Myers: “I like our team and where it’s at. I want to give the guys a chance to do it again.” https://t.co/rBinmolg4O pic.twitter.com/eVN1ADLiOa – 10:36 AM

The Suns were right to put all their eggs in the Kevin Durant basket, but if a KD trade never comes, what next? For @PHNX_Suns, I drew up a few trades they should pivot toward in that worst-case scenario: https://t.co/O4ml5XVBDT pic.twitter.com/ROwhCXGi3Z – 10:03 AM

If the Suns don’t wind up with Kevin Durant, how would you feel about their offseason? We discussed on today’s @PHNX_Suns Podcast:

New at Heavy Sports…
— NBA exec thinks we’ve already found a first round error… which will make one team happy.
— Sometimes it takes quite a while for a trade demand to get honored. So maybe KD shouldn’t pack just yet.

You guys are asking me KD questions under every Dolphins/Marlins post. Here’s the deal: Nets aren’t tempted by Herro-led package.Heat’s chances thus hinge on Durant insisting to be moved & to only Miami/ Phoenix AND encouraging other teams not to pursue him, which hasn’t happened – 3:09 PM

More on this storyline
It does not appear the Warriors want to sacrifice any of their youth or depth in pursuit of another marquee player. “It’s a good group. We’re lucky. It’ll be fun to see,” Myers said. “We were really hunting last year. Now I guess we’re back to being the hunted, which I didn’t think we’d be. We’ll see. I think we can handle it.” -via NBA.com / July 21, 2022
As he strolled down the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles before Wednesday night’s ESPYS, Golden State general manager Bob Myers finally looked relaxed. No doubt he’s enjoyed his summer. Last month the Warriors won their fourth NBA championship in eight years, and after a champagne-soaked victory parade, Myers has been busy fine-tuning the roster through Draft selections and various offseason moves. “I like our team and where it’s at,” Myers told NBA.com. “I want to give the guys a chance to do it again.” -via NBA.com / July 21, 2022
After following his Sixth Man of the Year runaway with a shaky, injury-marred postseason — Herro averaged 13 points on 41% shooting, including an ugly 23% on 3s — Herro is perhaps the most polarizing high-wattage player in the NBA. He has reached this strange point just as he becomes the key veteran in any potential Miami Heat trade package for Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, or whichever star becomes available next. The Heat so far have not gotten much traction on either front, but they are still trying and can never be counted out. If Miami pulls off a superstar trade, it’s going to be in part because the team on the other end is higher on Herro than consensus. -via ESPN / July 21, 2022
