“KD will go be an Eddie King and the Five Heartbeats, I feel like going home” - Shannon Sharpe believes Kevin Durant will go back to the Warriors, says they have the best young assets

Kevin Durant recently announced his wish to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets, sending the NBA into a frenzy.

There's been plenty of speculation about teams that could be in the hunt to acquire the two-time champion. Durant's reported list of preferred teams includes the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat. Despite that, plenty of teams around the league have reportedly enquired about him.

It's also been speculated that Durant is open to returning to the Golden State Warriors. Despite the history between the two parties, a move to Golden State is a possibility given the assets they have to trade.

Speaking on "Undisputed," analyst Shannon Sharpe said that he believes Durant should return "home".

"If the Nets want young talent and draft picks, the only viable option is the Golden State Warriors...KD will go be an Eddie King and the Five Heartbeats...I feel like going home."

Kevin Durant expected to be traded from Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant has requested a trade

It is not often that one of the best players in the league is available, so teams will do their best to put together a trade package to acquire Kevin Durant from the Nets.

Durant has made it clear where he wants to move, but he does not really have any leverage over the Nets. As such, competition for the superstar forward will likely be aggressive.

Despite dealing with injuries over the last couple of years, Durant has proven that he's still one of the best players in the league. Having him on the roster would undoubtedly be a bonus for any team in the league, making them instant contenders for the title.
