Kevin Durant is still sorting through everything that happened on Monday night in Los Angeles. He was taken aback by the things Draymond Green said to him and the emotions are still raw.

But that doesn't mean the two-time Finals MVP is looking for a way out of Golden State right now.

As Sam Amick of The Athletic reported late Thursday night:

According to a source close to Durant, he has shown no interest in wanting to be traded and remains focused on the championship chance that lies before them.

“We’ve got a three-peat upon us,” the source said.

And if the Warriors do win a third straight championship in June? Well, nobody knows what will happen after that. One school of thought would say: "How could Durant pass on the opportunity to win four straight?" On the other hand, Durant may simply want to move on to something else. Everything is completely up in the air.

But the one thing that remains certain is Draymond's oozing confidence. After shootaround on Thursday, he basically challenged the rest of the NBA to beat the Warriors. And after the loss to Houston, he guaranteed the Warriors would still win the championship.
