Kevin Durant saved the Suns from an even worse headache before leaving

The tenure of Kevin Durant with the Phoenix Suns will forever be a complicated one, although many fans in The Valley are already cool with the all-time great.

He came, he balled out and he wasn't given a ton of help beyond Devin Booker because the franchise was stuck in the second apron. That's pretty much the story, plus the Suns did well out of the trade that sent him to the Houston Rockets.

What has quickly been forgotten to time is the fact that, at last year's trade deadline, none other than the Golden State Warriors emerged as a potential candidate to bring Durant back to San Francisco.
