The Golden State Warriors are reportedly giving up on their dreams of reuniting with Kevin Durant. Per The Athletic's Anthony Slater and Sam Amick,

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported Monday that Butler has told the Warriors he won't sign a contract extension if the Heat work out a trade with Golden State. Butler, 35, has a $52.4 million player option on his contract for the 2025-26 season. If he declines that option, Butler will become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Kevin Durant appears to have made his decision on a potential return to the Golden State Warriors amid rumors also linking him with the Miami Heat.
