Kevin Durant has virtually taken the entire NBA offseason hostage with his request for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Among the many teams inquiring into his services, it's been reported that his former employer, the Golden State Warriors, at least made the necessary calls to inquire on what it would take to trade for the former MVP.

The Warriors have one of the deepest war chests of tangible assets in the league. Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga have all showed off under the spotlight of the postseason. Winning a championship certainly does a number on your roster's trade value, after all.

However, they refused to cash in on any of them last season when the road to another title seemed quite uncertain. And it appears they may not be willing to rock the boat yet again, according to NBA insider Michael Scotto from HoopsHype.

The Warriors have several young assets on paper, including Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and Moses Moody, but Golden State would be reluctant to give up all these assets in a Durant trade proposal, HoopsHype has learned. Andrew Wiggins would be an attractive trade chip and is coming off an All-Star season, but he can’t be included in a Durant trade at the moment, as explained in-depth by our USA TODAY colleagues at For The Win.

The Golden State braintrust has been vocal about building a winning product not just for the present, but also for a future that would inevitably not include a Finals MVP-level Stephen Curry. Using their assets to trade for Kevin Durant would certainly make additional rings more of a certainty in the coming seasons, but that would leave the team scrapped of its youth while relying on superstar vets approaching their inevitable decline.

A Kevin Durant-Warriors reunion doesn't look to be on the cards. After the team just won another championship without him, messing with what works while still maintaining their future assets seems to be the path they're going to tread.
