Curry said he has “no hard feelings, no resentment” at all. “I don’t blame Kevin one bit for not wanting to rerun things here,” Kerr, who coached Durant with Golden State and USA Basketball, told ESPN. “He took so much s— for like, ‘Oh, you’re jumping on the bandwagon’ [when he signed with Golden State as a free agent in 2016]. And then he’s Finals MVP two years in a row. It’s like he still gets criticized. “So why would he want to face all that B.S. again?”

“He breathes it, he lives it, he shits it.”
After a week of trade rumors, Kevin Durant got to return to the game that is his happy place. And despite the loss, as he made history by reaching 30,000 points, he brought Suns fans along for the ride: bit.ly/41c66mK – 11:03 AM

More on this storyline
Unlike when the Warriors looked into acquiring James, Curry spoke with Durant to see if his former teammate was interested in returning. But sources told ESPN that Durant indicated to Curry that a Warriors sequel didn’t “feel right,” that it “wasn’t the time” and that he wasn’t looking to leave Phoenix. “You need everybody to be all bought in no matter what the history you have,” Curry told ESPN about his talk with Durant. “And I respect KD. It’s all about having peace of mind and happiness. “Neither one of us controlled that [trade] situation. It’s just you want to make sure somebody wants to be somewhere. Other than that, I’m not trying to convince anybody to be somewhere they don’t want to be.” -via ESPN / February 15, 2025
Curry said he did not reach out to James to feel things out before Paul and the Lakers eventually told the Warriors that James wanted to remain with L.A. “Like any talented high-IQ basketball player, whether it’s LeBron, whether it’s KD, whether it’s me, whether it’s AD, whoever you put him on any team, you should be able to figure it out,” Curry told ESPN about the blockbuster trade scenario that was ultimately torpedoed before ever lifting off. “That’s as far as it got from a year ago. Because it sounded outlandish when I first heard about it. I never thought he’d leave the Lakers. And I obviously said I never really wanted to leave here.” -via ESPN / February 14, 2025
What’s happening this weekend is a historic reunion. Stephen Curry, an All-Star Weekend host with the festivities held in San Francisco and Oakland, will be back on the same stage with his Olympic pals. With LeBron James at 40 and Curry and Kevin Durant at 36, the three don’t know how many more of these they will have. “There ain’t going to be that many times left,” James told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “So you take it all in and you don’t take it for granted. “It’s coming to an end soon.” -via ESPN / February 14, 2025
