Heat Still Have Interest In Trading For Chris Paul
The Miami Heat remain interested in Chris Paul, but no deal is imminent.
The Heat had interest in acquiring Paul from the Houston Rockets before he was eventually traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Paul has three seasons and $124 million remaining on his contract, which would make any deal involving him complicated in terms of matching.
Kevin Durant Hoped To Return To Oklahoma City Before Receiving Poor Treatment Upon Leaving
The way people within the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise and fans in that area reacted to Kevin Durant's decision to leave for the Golden State Warriors in 2016 forever altered his feelings on the team he played for during the first nine seasons of his career.
"Such a venomous toxic feeling when I walked into that arena," said Durant about his first game back with the Warriors. "And just the organization, the trainers and equipment managers, those dudes is pissed off at me? Ain't talking to me? I'm like, Yo, this is where we going with this? Because I left a team and went to play with another team?"
Durant had hoped to return to the Thunder at some point in his career, but that now appears almost impossible.
"I'll never be attached to that city again because of that," said Durant. "I eventually wanted to come back to that city and be part of that community and organization, but I don't trust nobody there. That s--t must have been fake, what they was doing. The organization, the GM, I ain't talked to none of those people, even had a nice exchange with those people, since I left."
