Durant made a tough statement: Refusing to return to the Warriors, only willing to play for three teams

At the time when the NBA offseason caused an uproar, Kevin Durant's trade application once again became the focus. However, this time, the superstar's attitude was extremely firm - he clearly ruled out the possibility of returning to the Golden State Warriors and even expressed dissatisfaction to the league.

"I will not choose to join the Warriors again without any bottom line for the championship, that is a thing of the past." Durant admitted in a private conversation, "That experience has brought me too many negative effects, and to this day, the accusations on social media have not stopped. "

Durant's words reveal deep fatigue. In 2016, he left the Thunder to join the Warriors. Despite winning the championship twice and winning the FMVP twice, the outside world has always regarded him as a winner of "hitting the ride". What made him even more difficult to let go of was the internal attitude of the Warriors - the famous saying of Draymond Green, "We are the champion before you come", and Green's additional mockery when the Warriors reached the top again after he left, "We are the champion after you leave", which completely closed the loop of the "Green formula" also became an indelible shadow of Durant's career.

"This league lacks respect and tolerance for me," Durant said. "I have appealed to the league and hope the Warriors will not try to contact me again. My choice is clear - only the Rockets, Spurs and Timberwolves are within my consideration. "

Durant's statement was not a moment of impulse. The Rockets have a young core and offensive system. The Spurs' Popovich has always been his respected coach, and the Timberwolves' rise is also in line with his competitive needs. However, he also left room for space: "There may change in the next few days, depending on the sincerity of other teams. "

Apparently, Durant is unwilling to bear the infamy for the championship anymore. His decision was both a career choice and a cutting through past experiences. This time, he wanted not only a ring, but also a real recognition.
