It may sound utopian and far-fetched, but the bond that was created between Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder was memorable and could not be finalized with a ring. At 36 years old, the legendary player will seek new adventures this summer, and a return to what was once his first home in the NBA could be an option.
If there's one thing that characterizes this competition, it is its unpredictable nature and unexpected plot twists. Witnessing Kevin Durant return to the place where he began to shine in the league is one of the NBA rumors that is gaining momentum in recent days. KD's departure from the Phoenix Suns is considered a done deal, forcing them to negotiate down for their player and realizing that a golden opportunity has irretrievably slipped away.
Rebuilding seems to be the ideal future scenario for the Arizona team, who might be enticed by some of the 15 first-round picks held by the Oklahoma City Thunder, along with 17 second-round picks, that they could put on the table in a potential trade. OKC may have to sacrifice a player from their starting five, which is questionable given Kevin Durant's age, but fantastic for contending for the ring next year. This move would make sense if they stumble in the playoffs this season.
