Durant personally admitted that he refused to return to the Warriors! Give up joining Curry and explain the process of joining the Rockets

On September 22, there is still one month left before the start of the new NBA regular season. In an interview, Rockets star Durant bluntly stated that he refused a deal to return to the Warriors early this year and explained why he chose the Rockets this summer.

According to previous reports, during the mid-term trading last season, there was indeed an operational plan between the Suns and the Warriors and third-party teams, and the Warriors are very eager to get Durant again. But Durant and his brokerage team eventually intervened, which eventually led to a miscarriage in the deal. During an interview, Durant personally admitted the matter.

Durant recently confirmed in an interview that he personally rejected a deal that could allow him to return to the Warriors and join forces with Curry last season. Durant's explanation for this is that he does not want to be traded midway through the season, because this change will cause too much interference, which will also cause great instability not only for himself, but also for the team as a whole. Finally, Durant left the Suns this summer and made his return to the Rockets. When talking about choosing the Rockets, Durant said: "Since I was put on the shelves in February, it happened to be the trade deadline. Each team is watching how their season will develop and what their teams need. We knew at the time that we would revisit this topic in the summer, and the Rockets seized the opportunity and they quickly took action. Things went very well after that."

In the last season, Durant played 62 games, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages of 52.7%, 43%, and 83.9% respectively.
