As we all know, it is only a matter of time before Durant leaves the Suns, and the key is which team he will go to in the end. According to previous reports from multiple sources, no less than 10 teams in the league are very interested in Durant, including the Rockets, Spurs, Knicks, Mavericks, and Lakers, and even the old team, the Warriors are among them.
Just as Durant's deal rumors were rife, several major news brought the farce to an end. Many authoritative reporters reported that Durant's team listed the Spurs as their first choice, which was also instructed by Durant himself. There is even news that the Spurs have completed the deal with the Suns, and both sides are just waiting for the official announcement.
The first to report that Durant was going to the Spurs was Suns reporter John Gambadoro. He said that the Spurs are one of Durant's favorite next homes. The Spurs have the ability to package high-quality young potential stocks and draft assets, and this quotation plan is fully in line with the Suns' core demand for rebuilding chips in the Durant trade.
Not long afterwards, John Gambadoro claimed in the podcast that Durant privately told a person he trusted that he felt he would go to the Spurs in the end. In addition, Spurs' Jeremy Sohan and Devin Vassel may become potential bargaining chips in Durant's trade.
At the same time, Ary also confirmed the news. "According to league sources, the Suns are discussing potential trading plans with Durant's team. The Spurs are the first choice for Durant's roster to join."
If the two reporters above are not famous enough, then the next person has extremely high credibility. Well-known reporter Sam Amico reported that Durant already has a favorite next home, and Durant hopes that the Suns will trade him to the San Antonio Spurs.
Last. The veteran reporter Bill Simmons even claimed that the deal between Durant and the Spurs may have been completed, and both sides are just waiting for the official announcement.
Simmons said: "If Durant has been traded to the Spurs, but it has not been officially announced yet, I will not be surprised at all. They may have agreed on all the details and are just planning to wait until the draft week to announce it."
Based on the above news, we can summarize it into two points: 1 Durant wants to go to the Spurs, 2 The Spurs have enough chips to attract the Suns to promote the trade. Let’s talk about the first point first. Durant’s reason for wanting to go to the Spurs is very simple. The combination of Wenban Yama and Fox is young and talented enough, with balanced offense and defense. It is not as strong as the Suns’ Big Three, as strong as the attack and weak defense, and both require the ball. Secondly, Vinban Yama is still in the rookie contract stage, and the Spurs have enough salary space to build a lineup under the team of Fox + Vinban Yama + Durant.
, and the second point is better understood. The Spurs selected this year's second pick and No. 14, while Sohan, Wassel, Barnes, KJ and others are all high-quality assets that can be traded. And these chips are what they need now for the Suns who are eager to rebuild.
It is worth mentioning that the US media "BF" also simulated a transaction plan for both parties. The Spurs gave Wassell + Barnes + the No. 14 draw in the first round in exchange for Durant. However, in the eyes of many netizens, such bargaining chips are simply "bad price" for Durant.
So, what do you think about Durant's upcoming joining the Spurs and joining forces with Vampan Yama and Fox?
