Bro texted Shams personally 😂
😂😂
From his burner account?
He messaged him on Twitter with his alt account
Even KD won’t win championships current gsw roster..
KD ain’t forget nothing 😂
Draymond ruined a great dynasty man
Trade Draymond
Not Draymond it was more of the way the Warriors front office handled his injury when they talked him into coming back to play in the finals and then he reinjured himself.
That’s what he’ll be remembered for
We won after Durant too my boy. We did just fine after that nga.
More like KD ruined the Cavs and Warriors rivalry
KD said anywhere but where Draymond is at 💀
Sorry Warriors fans no reunion coming 😂
They're worried about reporting on these has beens when Wembanyama and Cooper Flagg are the future of the NBA.
You read my mind. No to Draymond.
I'm a Warriors fan and I never wanted KD to return
Warriors fan since I was 8 - stay there KD.
Oh now it’s stay where you at KD after he said he ain’t coming back 😂
Was anybody really thinking he'd go back anyway? The writing was on the wall with how that relationship ended.
Draymond
Jesus loved you have a wonderful day ❤
Yep it’s like your exe hitting you back up years later 😂💀
Durant said “nah I’m good off that”
@@sportsreelboy exactly 😂
A bunch of Warriors fans actually thought KD of all people would just forget how they been clowning him for years after he left and would come back
KD doesn't want the narrative to become: "He can only win with GSW and never with any team!"
That’s facts tho 😂
But thats the truth lol
Lol. I think thats already the narrative.
Kd still better currently and prime kd still better than prime curry it don't matter if kd got less rings than curry 😂
Butler doesn't want the same title
KD for Butler seems like a waste of time.
Definitely is, doesn’t make either team better.
@@Jerm0116it makes the heat better I’ll tell yah that. Now the Suns I would agree… I don’t see why they would do this. UNLESS they want to get compensation back for KD before he’s a free agent in 26. AND if they want Jimmy THAT bad lol
@@Jerm0116it does make miami better ultimately. When it comes down to it, Katie will be a big piece and not only improving the team, but also drawing more attention to Miami in the off-season for other big names.
@Jerm0116 nah kd makes the heat better, they are 7th in East an butter doesn't even play, an when he plays he's given them 16pts.....
KD is leaving for a sure thing established team as soon as he can. We all know who KD is
KD got chased out of GSW by Draymond, and the Warriors let it happen and didn't have his back.
I'm not shocked at all, KD ain't playing with Draymond again after that bs he did.
@@bobdole991 or than fan base constantly reminding him that he will never be Steph.
Exactly!
Some Warriors fans are delusional why would KD want to play with crashout Draymond 😂
@@quintonjackson8458it's draymond
Just look at the Olympics kd so happy with steph
@@Mfthug-g6g no I’m not saying he don’t like Steph but I think he wanted warriors fan to consider him on the same level of Steph
Why is this a surprise to anyone
Why would anyone want to go back and play with Draymond
I don't know people are casuals
Durant is past his prime. Even in his prime, he was incredibly overrated. He took a high volume of shots to get his stats. I never saw him win a thing on his own.
@@RobbieStacks90 ummmm KD is actually not a high volume player at all. and he's very efficient
@@RobbieStacks90isnt he basically as efficient as humanly possible? So i dont think high volume git him his numbers.
I thought this said kd to the warriors my heart almost stopped😂
Me too
Not gon lie, but i wanted kd on the Warriors
@@cchris1319 he was with da warriors before
@@darrellclark5635"the" not "da"
He’s goin to Miami
PETITION TO GET MALIKA OFF OF ESPN
ill sign that
Keep using caps kid maybe they’ll listen to you
@ let’s get it going lmfaooo
She must’ve dated a bk guy in hs and he cheated on her.
It won't happen ESPN is woke
KD already said he didnt appreciate how the warriors handled that draymond situation so im not surprised
Draymond saying “we don’t need you” flashbacks going thru his mind
Yeah, you can't come back from that. Angry people always say what they really think about you. Always believe them and never let them blame the anger for the reason why they acted out.
Living up to his name
The reaper?
Durantula?
@@dpittman2712no a fkn Sham
Jesus loves you have a blessed day
@@Sectrix2ppDuLiar. Every time he says no, the answer is yes lol.
Without a no trade clause it doesn’t really matter.
It does matter for the team receiving the players who doesn't want to be there. Why would they want a disgruntled player?
it does matter. he has one year left on his contract and if he doesnt resign the warriors got him for a price and he will leave for nothing
Yep
Say you dont understand ball without saying it 😂
@@kobebryant24861 He did not understand it. But he understands it now.
KD don’t wanna deal with Kerr & Draymond again 😂😂😂😂
windy gets a lot of hate but he's actually on of the smartest and most valuable dudes on ESPN right now
I agree. He sees reasonable stuff lol
@@mckdogdrums3543he got lot of hate cause he's licking lebron azz
Nah he’s stupid
Warriors fans swinging at the air right now lmao. They wanted that trade so badly
yk if the warriors offer phoenix a good enough offer kd won’t have a choice because he doesn’t have a no trade clause
@Margielaaaaa northing worst than a disgruntled nba super star
Kd would retire before went back to the warriors and i don’t blame him.
@Margielaaaaa Warriors aint got nothing to facilitate that trade. If I was him let Gsw lay in the bed they made back then by choosing draymond and THEN again with klay. I feel bad for steph but it's over. They chose the ufc fighter over getting younger and finding a solid big.
@PerishingForLackOfKnowledge 100% agree. I can see the narrative now he couldn't win on his own so he came crawling back yet his current teams upside is better than the current Warriors roster. Let them live with prioritizing keeping and paying draymond when they shouldve gotten younger and found a solid big man
Warriors disrespected that man when he was there
Nah he direspected us
no one respects the kd warriors
@@KingPinSkinnyPimp80who you?
How so? He got two rings with them. How many has he got since? How many did Steph get since KD left?
@markbartoszek8585 what does that have to do with the organization disrespecting KD??
KD is one of those people that let so many outside factory influence his decisions. All that talent and can't think for himself.
Imagine KD on the Spurs I’m frightened if he actually goes there because they will be literally unstoppable nobody stopping two 7 footers with handles and can shoot from halfcourt and play defense then they got the fastest point guard in the league!!!!
Wemby isn't who you think he is. A lot of heartache ahead buddy
He was better off staying with GSW
Draymond made him so miserable he left
Draymond ran him and Jordan Poole off
@@everythingistemporary736😂😂😂😂😂 real menace
@@everythingistemporary736 yes to KD. Poole no. Poole's contract was bad for the team so he had to go regardless. Poole's lack of defense hurt the team.
@@timfwaygo2537 😂😂
The only thing the Suns need to do is deal Nurk and use a first round pick to bring in someone with heart and who’s scrappy.
Exactly butler is perfect so nurk bol bol Damien Lee picks then grab valencuinas
Or trade Durant to the Spurs in a 3 team deal
Spurs: KD, Bol Bol, Josh Richardson
Suns: Butler, Branham, '25 Spurs first, '27 ATL first, 4 2nds
Mia: Vassell, Keldon
Nurk is the weak link on the team. They need a center who can score as well as defend.
Draymond is the reason why the warriors are in this hole tbh, KD and JP
So true!!
Exactly. I feel so sad when absolutely no player wants to go there. Just look at how many players they went after and all of them said no.
Yall crazy if yall thought Durant was going Back to play with Draymond
Or curry
Of Course Draymond is still there
No that’s not why
BREAKING NEWS! A TRADE IS NOT HAPPENING! Why even tell it to the people then
Right, for clicks
Looks like KD doesn’t wanna win a championship anymore he’s been successful with Warriors. That’s ok Warriors won without him 😂
Nobody wants to go to warriors, how times have changed
It's cause they're cooked.
@@knolo technically speaking KD the only legit superstar that wanted to go there and they gave Steph all the credit. Ain’t no one trying to go there for that
The last shall be the first and vice versa I guess.
KD TO THE SPURS
That’s what I was thinking. Word is the spurs aren’t done. But we’ll see
@@JayWinning19 that could actually be interesting.
I’m willing to give up Atlanta’s pick
Can someone answer the most obvious question: if the suns want to get better, why would they even consider trading away one of the greatest scorers of all time?
Fcats
Because he’s past his prime and the suns window of opportunity is closing. They should’ve never got rid of Chris Paul, he was a better fit for that suns team than KD is. If we’ve learned anything the last few years, just because you put stars together on a team doesn’t mean it’ll equal success. Brooklyn, Clippers, and now the Suns with KD, Bradley Beal and Booker. Devin booker is 28. He’s still in his prime, but before you know it he’ll be 32 and we’ll start to have those conversations about age. So strike while the irons hot and trade KD & Beal for strong players and depth. Because clearly they’re not going to win with KD and Beal. All those guys are doing for the suns is eating up the salary with their ridiculous contracts.
Full rebuild. Trading KD and Booker while they have value and start over. If it’s not a rebuild I don’t understand it.
@@nicholasdoucet673you’re right! Trading CP3 was a mistake. Beal was a bad trades for the Suns also. They’re in a difficult situation and now have to let go of KD, sadly.
They need to trade Nurk. They need a center who can shoot and defend.
KD is the worst player when it comes to trying to create a super team. Nets and Suns underperformed despite all the talent.
KD: "My heart says yes. But my ego says no."
KD: “My mind says - Draymond is still there after everything (even after I left) he’s done.”
If Golden State put their foot down against #23 with the fighting, kicking KD out, punching Poole, choking Gobert… and traded/released instead of enabling/allowing this to be continued?
MAYBE, a different outcome would have happened.
People don't want to play with Draymond.
KD told Curry “no more free rings”😂
😂😂
curry has won 2 without KD. KD has won 0. make it make sense
Curry’s the reason buddy has ANY RINGS TF …he den bounced around the league on everyteam searching n searching…he scared of dreymond
This makes no sense curry has 4 kd has only 2😂
@luishernandezzzz curry had a better team than kd still lmao no one takes curry rings seriously 😭💀
WHY!!!! WHY MUST THIS BREAK MY HEART
Tell them that it's human nature.
KD is clearly better than Curry at this point. Considering that, I don’t think KD wants the narrative to be that he can only win with Curry. And Curry doesn’t want people saying that KD’s “rescuing” him, especially when the Warriors are in no position to contend, with or without Durant.
Shams legacy is officially cemented. It’s already time to reconstruct that ESPN contract.
Yeah, he is not gonna be Draymond teammate ever again.
Just because he doesn't want to get traded there doesn't mean he can't unless he has a no-trade clause, which from my understanding, he doesn't. Doesn't matter where he doesn't want to go, the org can send him where they can find the best deal
W KD😭
The ole “I don’t wanna go there” trick
There is a video excerpt of a podcast with KD and Draymond where he said he was upset with the coach or front office about their handling of the friction between those 2, because they just disciplined Dray instead of talking about it and working thru it, in keeping with their supposed mottos of family and open communication.
I think Draymond kinda pushed that narrative into the conversation. It was on Draymond's podcast I'm pretty sure. And yeah that could be part of it, but Draymond really wanted to absolve himself of blame.
Are people forgetting the fact that paying for KD’s max contract would’ve been a massive burden on the warriors? The only reason it worked was because KD joined just before the salary cap went up by a lot and Warriors big 3 were all underpaid by new salary cap standards
Bro wants to join LeBron and Luka
U think KD wants to play on the same team as LeBron Goat-ie-Pooh James? U must hate nba basketball
Or Dallas with AD,Kyrie, and Klay Thompson 😆
Warrior fans have no desire for a KD reunion anyway
We need him so much
The elephant in the room is: why is a team with KD and Devin booker not good
Whew!!!! Can this team just go out in the sunset....dang!
Of course, KD is going to say that with fingers crossed 🤞🏾 😂he just doesn't want to take the hit when he ends up back in GS
I keep telling people I know a source close to the players and he said OKC is serious about getting Durant
Lmao no they're not
Interesting 🤔
@@Goatlikeitornot they may not end up with him but my source works in a capacity for the NBA he said strongly I believe him
You don't know 💩🤡
🧢🧢🧢
There is no way they need this many people on this show
KD has the desire to get his own ring. He know he was gifted what he does have from Curry. Period.
Curry was also gifted those 2 rings buddy...last time I checked, KD was the man on the warriors....curry need KD just as much as kd needing curry...... dont act like curry carried kd , just stop.
@TheReal-trublu357 no he wasn't clown. I stopped reading at last time I checked. Because last time I checked, Curry has 4. One before and one after. KD has zero. So stfu
@TheReal-trublu357 KD was never the man on the Warriors. Only Lebron slurpers and low iq fans say that. Which are you? Both?
@@TheReal-trublu357 They needed eachother.....well actually curry won 2 whole nba finals before and after him so idk and kevin durant didnt win anything before the warriors and he also was swept first round twice with both his created super teams in brooklyn with kyrie and harden then now with booker & beal while curry playing with rookies and role players as always while being doubled and tripled every game
The suns loyalty to Devin booker is unmatched
I’ll be so glad when this trade deadline over lol
I remember when he grabbed his achiles against the rockets in the playoffs and they told him it was a calf strain. He came back and played like 10 min in the finals and tore it. I don’t think he could ever trust that team. His last season there he was getting harassed because he didn’t sign an extension and then draymond snapped at him. Stars don’t want to go there anymore because they don’t like that system where everything revolves around steph and draymond is crazy.
You know the sports done when the most exciting things happening are potential trades
What’s supposed to be exciting lol? 😂 nobody wants to see the same teams
KD to Miami Heat 💪🏾
0:36 thanks Dray
😂😂😂😂😂 golden state is officially done
@@TaeParker4 Next up: the United States.
People are trashing Pat Riley for the Jimmy Butler fiasco. But Jaime Jaquez, Jovic, and Burks make a combined $8.3M. Grayson Allen makes $15.6M!!! Give Pat Riley his props, the man knows how much to pay the people on the roster.
jaquez and jovic are on rookie contracts. pat riley has nothing to do with what they're paid, the league has a rookie scale. burks is a what, 14yr vet with fewer starts than grayson allen...so yea he's gonna be paid less
No one hates KD more than Warrior fans lol. The man came and guaranteed them a dynasty after their 2016 embarrassment, and they're still mad at him for being better than Steph those years.
That's not true, it's people pretending to be warrior fans and other team fans along with the media crying about KD with the warriors cause their teams could not beat them as long as they stayed together.
Facts..saved them from bron for 2yrs..almost brought them back against kawhi and the raps.
Embarrassment is an understatement.
@@euro51116 I don’t even think it’s Warriors fans it’s Curry fanboys that do that but they are mixed in with the Warriors franchise so he staying away from them and Draymond
Without Klay and KD, Stephen knew that Draymond was the 4th wheel. He can't be a 2nd wheel.
Why would he? He left for a reason he wasnt happy there draymond cursed him out and told him to leave we won without you and that was before they won another chip without him. He knows if he goes back there it wouod destroy his legacy.
No it wouldn’t. Leaving did more damage than going. Every place he has been to has ended on bad terms. That’s a KD thing
@@kayfray4927 Yes it would. You don't go back to a place where you were copiously disrespected. If you do, it means you lack self respect and self esteem.
This is a perfect example of why the lakers and mavs didnt make the players aware of negotiations.
I thought this meant that KD got traded to the warriors for a split second lol
Pretty much what I was thinking when he was included in the rumors. As long as Draymond is still there!
Warriors should've done whatever they could to not let KD walk.
😂😂😂 " The Big Goofy" 😅
LETS GOOOOOO THE KD HEAT DREAM IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!
Sttttoooop he can’t stand adebayo
Warriors should try to get Booker and/or Ayton
None of these people really know what kd wants. I thought gsw and draymond said they didnt need him. They also treated him bad
Dawg if Pat pulls this off he is the 🐐 for life!
We all know KD´s camp told Shams to put this in the air..
@6:19 the look on her face when she piped down 😭. god i swear some of these “analysts” need to stfu and let the professionals handle it lmaoo
1st Jimmy Butler and now KD?,It's kinda weird these star players has no desire to team up with Steph Curry?,they don't want to team up with arguably the greatest shooter of all time?
I guess it's because of Draymond Green😅
It’s not Steph!! It’s Draymond! Dude literally got into a shoving match with him on the sideline! Told him they didn’t need him! And the entire staff and players just acted as if it never happened! They never addressed it again and Dray never apologized for it! Steph never got them 2 on the phone to squash it!! Then he already felt a way thinking he’d be looked at as the #1 being there! But the franchise and the fanbase didn’t let that happen! So between the franchise and his ego he couldn’t take it! I knew this wouldn’t happen even when the rumors started
No it's because of Steve Kerr 🤪
ppl don't wanna admit that stars don't wanna have to pick up all of steph's defensive slack while getting no credit for any wins the team gets
KD is the exact word Draymond called him.
Dude never should have left OKC. They'd be unstoppable.
Wow, the media don’t know why KD doesn’t want to go to GS. This same media torched him for making the move when he went there. Now the same media is linking him and pushing him to go back to GS. The same media that claim it will hurt his legacy
Welp that means it’s happening Folks so book it! He also said he didn’t wanna go to the Warriors originally, he didn’t wanna get traded from Brooklyn as well
Thank God.
NOBODY wants to go to the Warriors. I dont know why but Jimmy said no KD said no and they couldn't get a free agent over the summer. They couldn't get a trade last year. smh
Steve kerr and draymond. Stevee kerr never been a good coach. He just let steph just be steph , an his assistant coachs were ones that ran the ship
they have to trade green away before kd come to warriors
Are people so delusional , the reason why KD dont wanna go back to the warriors is because of the media.......
The media dissed and destroyed durant image because he went to the warriors........
Do people forget that the reason why draymond screamed at durant is because durant had already made his decision that he was leaving the team........
Why would durant comeback to the warriors now, so that the media can say he can only win when he is playing with steph......
When the warriors won they recent title without kd , the media still dissed durant
💯💯💯you are spot on, don't know why people are so short sighted and easy to believe anything and never ask the question on why Draymond blew up a KD.
KD probably don't want to reunite with the Warriors, but Luka and David trade already showed front office is like Stephen a Smith: "we don't care."
How about you tell KD they letting go of Draymond if he comes back. You bet he will have some desire by then.
1:17 Jimmy already said he won’t resign in Golden State so he is off the books
Honestly I think butler screwed himself
Bro every time I click a video and hear Malika start talking I IMMEDIATELY STOP WATCHING

I dislike the video. I still want to hear about this, just not from her lol.

@@speakinfaxonly21 I swear lmfaoo watch it with CC on no sound lmfaoo
Pat Riley will give KD an extension to play for the heat.Miami has loved kd for decades ❤❤❤❤
Also because people will cry and complain if they would have somehow won with KD again 😂
Staying with the Suns 🔥
It’s because of Draymond 😖 ooooooo I promise I promise ima get him ima stretch him oooooo😤🤬🤬🤬🤬😖😖😖😖😖😖🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 please curry needs you KD WE NEED YOU 🥺🥺🥺🥺😩
"ima stretch him" ? What's gotten into you man ? Do you need prayer ?
Where’s Zach Lowe? His presence, personality and knowledge is sorely missed
Yall had me scared with that thumbnail that KD went back to GSW 💀😵💫
KD will forever be known for joining the 73-9 Warriors
Warriors need a big dominant player!!!🌝🔵
Smart move KD
2:50 it’s Draymond and the public’s opinion
Kevin Durant is right: My advice to anyone is to never go back to your old job, company/organization in most circumstances.
Durant is a curse bro let him go to okc
Thats the Dreymond affect......Steve Kerr will defend Dreymond like a single mother who defends her son when he has been arrested 20 times
