A recent social media interaction sparked the ideas of the superstar forward returning to the team he started with, and although it could be interesting for both sides, it doesn't seem likely to ever happen.
At one time, the idea of Kevin Durant ever returning to the Oklahoma City Thunder seemed completely outlandish.
Eight years later though, plenty of rumors and ideas have circulated around the idea of the unthinkable happening. With Oklahoma City on the rise as a championship contender once again, and Durant's Phoenix Suns in a strange predicament, there's obvious reasons as to why the idea does make some sense.
Holmgren's relationship with Durant has been well-documented since he was drafted. Both players are constantly seen together in off-season workouts, and it's clear that the older veteran has taken the rookie under his wing. It makes all of the sense in the world, considering their unique skillsets of perimeter scoring paired with a tall and lanky build.
Trading for Durant in the first place is going to cost a ton, even with his age in consideration. It'll take at least a few key pieces on the roster — including Cason Wallace, Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort, etc. — to make it happen, as well as a large chunk of the first-round pick stockpile Oklahoma City has accumulated since the Paul George and Russell Westbrook trades.
