The thought crossed everyone’s mind at least once. When Kevin Durant announced he was demanding a trade — we all considered what a reunion with the Golden State Warriors would look like.

For most, the thought experiment hit a brick wall when looking at Durant’s salary. A Warriors team that is already historically overpriced (though, still worth every penny) is not exactly in a position to trade for a player who is making $40 million a year.
