The Golden State Warriors plan on pursuing Kevin Durant even if they repeat as NBA champions.
Durant is considered such a unique talent that he would be worth breaking up the Warriors' chemistry and roster, which would mean certain players would leave the team.
"Guys have definitely asked questions," Andrew Bogut told NBA.com. "We're not immune to it. We've seen it. We've seen the rumors, heard the rumors, all that kind of stuff. Different guys at different times have been scratching their head and thinking, 'Why?' The only way we can dispel all that stuff is maybe we've got to win five straight. Who knows? It's one of those things we can't really control, but we can control trying to make them make a tough decision."
Durant and the Thunder took the Warriors to seven games in the Western Conference Finals.
"Guys obviously ask questions at certain times," Bogut said. "We've had two good years. Guys definitely find it interesting. But we understand that it's a business and you're not going to be able to stop. If an owner or a GM wants to do something, they're going to do it."
