Warriors eye potential trade for Kevin Durant after missing on LeBron James
Summary

The Golden State Warriors are considering a trade for Kevin Durant following their unsuccessful pursuit of LeBron James. With James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Warriors have limited options in free agency and are exploring the trade market. Durant, currently with the Houston Rockets on a two-year, $90 million contract, has previously vetoed a potential trade to the Warriors. However, analysts suggest the team still has resources to make a trade, as they control their first-round picks. Draymond Green is expected to re-sign with Golden State, potentially stabilizing the current roster as they navigate these changes.
