Golden State Warriors star forward Kevin Durant is seemingly not over the hump with his off-court feud with CJ McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers. McCollum invited Jimmy Butler to his podcast, “Pull UP”, and Durant mocked him for it.

The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar's name is all over social media right now as talks about his trade request have been gathering traction. Butler wittingly posted a picture on Instagram with a similarly witty caption of, “I hear you, I'm listening”, an obvious reference to his possible transfer to another team.
Then the 27-year old Blazers star offered his support to sit down with Butler and talk about his complicated situation in Minnesota. With that, Durant burst the bubble and told McCollum to stop doing things like that.
It is not a secret that Durant and McCollum have had their off-court spats this summer. The 2014 Most Valuable Player was a guest in McCollum's podcast, but a heated Twitter exchange happened between them right after. McCollum told Durant that he didn't really take a liking about the Warrior's signing of another superstar in DeMarcus Cousins.
Durant then countered by saying that the Blazers will not win a championship, and that started the beef between the two stars.
Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the Butler trade circus as the Minnesota front office is now reportedly committed to dealing the 29-year old to another team before the 2018-19 season begins. Butler has also since reiterated that he will not appear in training camp and his no-show during the team's media day just about confirms his departure from Minnesota.
