Draymond Green has never been one to doubt himself, but his latest declaration had plenty of people doing a double take. During All-Star Weekend, he confidently stated that the Warriors would win the NBA title this year—a claim that came out of nowhere. Golden State has looked solid since landing Jimmy Butler, compensation for not getting Kevin Durant, winning three of four games.

But let’s be real—they’re still stuck at 10th in the West with a 28-27 record. If they want to avoid the play-in, they’ve got work to do. The Clippers, sitting in sixth, are 3.5 games ahead, and that gap won’t close itself. But Chris Broussard of Fox Sports thinks there is a way the Warriors can win the championship.

What would it cost? Draymond Green himself. Speaking on Willard & Dibs podcast, Broussard made it clear that if he were running the Warriors, he would consider moving Green in exchange for KD. “I’d shop Draymond if I’m [GSW]. If I could get KD by moving Draymond, I’d do it,” Broussard stated.

While acknowledging Green’s importance, he suggested that Butler could take on a similar role. “You need Draymond’s spirit and defense, but Butler can fill that void,” he added.

Broussard also highlighted the potential of a star-studded trio featuring Butler, Stephen Curry, and Durant. “Jimmy, Steph, & KD is a team capable of winning a championship,” he said.

With the Warriors sitting in the play-in mix, speculation about roster moves continues to swirl. Whether Golden State would entertain such a trade remains to be seen. But if Luka Doncic could get traded, then anyone can be traded. Golden State explored the idea of reuniting Durant with Stephen Curry but it didn’t happen.

During an interview on NBA Today, Malika Andrews asked Durant to set the record straight. He didn’t dodge the question. Instead, he explained his reasoning, making sure there was no bad blood attached to his decision.

“It was nothing against my time with the Warriors… At the end of the day, I just didn’t want to move,” Durant said, addressing the speculation. But now KD knows they were looking to offload him. And that rarely sits well with a star. So where could he end up?

Kevin Durant’s connection with this Timberwolves’ star has got everyone talking

The offseason might be buzzing with talk about Anthony Edwards and Kevin Durant. Minnesota tried trading for KD before the deadline, but the Suns’ asking price shut it down.

Jon Krawczynski hinted at future plans on his podcast. “We saw some video of him and KD hanging out, spending time together. They are good buddies and I’m sure that they spoke a lot and enjoyed each other’s company, and I would not be surprised at all if Ant was saying, ‘Hey, hang in there big guy. We’re coming, we’re going to make a run at you again.'”

He also addressed concerns about trading for Durant. “For people who have kind of blown up my mentions saying, ‘We can’t give up the farm for KD, we can’t do that. He’s too old now.’ I would say that this summer, I would expect the price to drop considerably on Kevin Durant, if, again, if he is made available in a trade because he has one year left on his deal.”

We all know the Slimreaper is Ant-man’s favorite player. He even backed the 15x All-Star to beat everyone if the NBA ever held a one-on-one competition.

Durant’s future in Phoenix is uncertain. “We’ll see what happens with the Phoenix Suns down the stretch. If they do not play well, that affects the asking price,” Krawczynski added.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst didn’t hold back: “He’s probably going to get traded this summer. He knows it. The Suns know it. The rest of the league knows it.”

At 35, KD is still elite, averaging 27.3 points. His $54.7 million salary for 2025-26 is hefty, but his production makes him worth it.
