Kendrick Perkins on potential Kevin Durant trade to Warriors

Former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins weighed in on the ongoing speculation about Kevin Durant potentially returning to the Golden State Warriors and reuniting with Steph Curry. Perkins didn’t hold back, making it clear that he wants to see Durant win a championship without Curry by his side.

"I don’t want to see a Warriors-KD reunion," Perkins said on "First Take". "What I want to see is KD win without Steph Curry. That’s what I want to see. I want to see him win and do it his way."

Durant spent three seasons with the Warriors from 2016-18 and won two championships. The perennial All-Star was named NBA Finals MVP both times the Warriors secured the title during his tenure.

The former league MVP parted ways with the Warriors in 2019 after suffering an injury in the NBA Finals, which derailed the franchise’s hopes of securing a three-peat.
