Fresh off his fourth NBA championship with the Warriors, Curry told Rolling Stone magazine in a story published Sunday that the Warriors internally discussed the idea of trading for Durant.
“There was a conversation internally amongst us about ‘If he was available, would you?’ Every team has those conversations, and obviously in our situation, they’re gonna call me and ask me, ‘How do you feel about it?’” Curry told the magazine.

“I was never hesitant. The idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD’s a really good dude. I think he is misunderstood. I think he has had certain things happen in his life that hurt his ability to trust people around him, in a sense of making him feel safe at all times. So all of those things, I understand, having played with him and gotten to know him. I love that dude.”
Curry maintained it was a no-brainer to entertain that kind of conversation but assured he is more than confident in the current makeup of the roster to go after a second consecutive title.
