The NBA trade deadline is less than two months away, which has sparked some growing conversation around the league for potential moves that could be made before Feb. 8.
With that in mind, Kevin Durant addressed the situation for the Golden State Warriors and they will handle it moving forward over the next several weeks, according to Mark Medina of the Mercury News.

“I don't think anybody here is worried about it. I haven't been thinking about it. I don't get into the front office stuff. I don't really know what's going on. I feel like from the mood everybody is going to be here. Hopefully that is so, but we will see what happens. Around this time in the league, anything can happen. It's a business. It's more business than basketball. Teams are going to make moves to try and dethrone us as champs. That's the exciting thing about the NBA. There are so many moves that can be made.”
The Warriors have been trending in the right direction over the last couple of weeks winning 12 of the last 13 games. Much of that has come without the services of Stephen Curry due to an ankle injury.
However, there had been some discussion about possibly moving JaVale McGee prior to the trade deadline. There have been rumblings that he is not happy with his minute workload along with the contract offer he received from the team during the offseason. The continued emergence of rookie Jordan Bell has also made McGee more expendable.
With there being just over a month until the NBA trade deadline, the Warriors could be in the market for some possible minor moves to their roster to help them make a stronger push to their second straight NBA title and third in the last four years.
