The deal was reached before the draft, the five teams staged a battle to grab players, and the Spurs led the odds list

On June 13, DraftKings Sportsbook updated Kevin Durant's latest next odds, with the Spurs topped the list with -125 (bet 100, if scored 225), becoming the team most likely to get the superstar.

are closely followed by the Timberwolves (+400) and Rockets (+800), while the Heat (+1000) and the Knicks (+1500) are at a relative disadvantage.

According to US journalist John Gambadoro, Durant is expected to be traded by the Suns as early as next week, and negotiations will accelerate before the draft (June 25-26).

Currently, Suns and Durant's agent Rich Kleiman is screening potential trading options, with the Spurs, Timberwolves, Rockets, Heat, Knicks and other teams participating.

Spurs have always been Durant's hottest next home. It was previously reported that KD himself tends to join the Spurs and form a super three-tier company with Vinban Yama and Fox.

Time is the key variable to this transaction.

American journalist John Gambadoro revealed that "Durant will be traded as early as next week" and Shams even pointed to the draft period on June 25 and 26. For each team, draft picks are important bargaining chips. If Durant trade can be finalized before the draft, it can not only lock in core players, but also complete draft reinforcement around the new lineup.

Durant's own attitude is also critical. This season, he averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and he still maintained his top competitiveness even at the age of 36. If he tends to have a long-term contract guarantee, the Rockets and Timberwolves with abundant salary space will have an advantage; if he values ​​the opportunity to compete for the championship, the Spurs and the Heat may be more in line with their needs.

According to Draftstack reporter Ary, the Timberwolves are pursuing Durant with all their might and have discussed multiple trading frameworks. Among them, Rudy Gobert may be sent to the Sun to match the salary.

As negotiations accelerate, Durant's whereabouts are about to be announced. Is it the Spurs got what they wanted, or is the Timberwolves successfully intercepted the bell? In the next week, the NBA trading market will usher in a bombshell!
