Former Warriors great Kevin Durant is on the move again, and Golden State could play a part in facilitating the move for the former NBA MVP.
The Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns are working on expanding the blockbuster Durant trade to include an NBA-record seven teams, with the Warriors being among them, The Athletic’s Fred Katz reported Wednesday.

The Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are the other teams that reportedly could be worked into the deal.
The initial report on June 22 stated Houston would send guards Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, along with a slew of draft picks — including the No. 10 overall selection in 2025 — to Phoenix in exchange for Durant.
With potentially five additional teams in the mix, it’s unclear what the final compensation might be for the superstar scorer, or what the franchises being worked in the deal can expect as part of the deal.
After the Warriors reportedly pursued Durant before striking a deal with the Miami Heat for Jimmy Butler before the 2025 trade deadline, Golden State still might be involved in a transaction including Durant after all.
