Old Kevin Durant Tweet Has Social Media Buzzing Amid Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports .

An old tweet from Kevin Durant is back in circulation, and it's sparking conversation during a busy stretch of NBA trade rumors. The post, originally shared in 2009, resurfaced on Sunday and quickly started gaining attention across social media.

In the tweet, Durant wrote , "30 degrees is too cold I'd rather run n 90 degrees. I was n minnesota last year and walked outside and my face started to hurt..in 50 degrees." The message was from November 10, 2009, but fans were quick to connect it to his current situation and potential interest in playing in a warmer city.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald pointed out the tweet's return. He noted how some fans are choosing to focus on hints like this over actual basketball. "A 16 year old Durant post being retweeted by others today. I swear, many NBA fans would rather search out bread crumbs and hints and rumors on possible transactions than watch the games," he wrote.

Despite the age of the post, the timing has fueled new speculation. With Durant's future in question, fans in Miami have latched onto the weather comment as a potential positive. The Heat have been mentioned in recent discussions as a team that could be in play, and some are using the tweet to reinforce the idea.

This isn't the first time an old post has resurfaced in the middle of the offseason. In a league where every clue gets examined, even a single sentence about cold weather is enough to draw attention.
