In a recent article for Bleacher Report, Andy Bailey postulates a potential three-team deal. Golden State would part with Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II, along with two first-round picks. In return, they would land Durant and Jett Howard from the Orlando Magic.

Durant and Curry paired up to win two titles while making three NBA Finals appearances from 2016 to 2019. While Curry has won another title since he and Durant split as teammates, the furthest Durant has gone is the conference semifinals.
