According to Andscape's Marc J. Spears, the Warriors have an interest in potentially acquiring Kevin Durant from the Nets.
As we've seen on many occasions in sports, a successful franchise doesn't remain at the top of its league by simply staying within its comfort zone. Even though the Warriors have won four of the last eight NBA titles, there is apparently an interest in getting in the mix for Durant in the aftermath of his trade request. What a possible trade for KD would look like is up for debate. But given what Utah was able to get from Minnesota in exchange for Rudy Gobert, the Nets are going to want a king's ransom for Durant. Golden State (or any team, for that matter) will have to give up a lot for the future Hall of Fame forward, as he has four years remaining on his current contract. And with the Warriors well into the luxury tax, adding Durant could make things difficult on the team with regard to rounding out the roster.
