Warriors consider Kevin Durant after missing on LeBron James
Summary

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly eyeing a reunion with Kevin Durant after failing to acquire LeBron James this offseason. Despite a quiet approach, the organization has not ruled out bringing Durant back if the Houston Rockets struggle in the upcoming season. Warriors coach Steve Kerr downplayed the pursuit of James, stating the attempt felt unrealistic. Currently, the team prepares for the new season with its existing core, including Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Kristaps Porzingis, while also monitoring potential trade moves for additional depth.
