A potential offer from the Spurs for Kevin Durant is expected this June, even if nothing is confirmed. But as far as this journalist is concerned, we already have an idea of the potential package. An attractive price for the fans?
This is a decisive month for the career of Kevin Durant, who will be leaving the Suns in the coming weeks and probably before the draft. Things are set to accelerate in June, leading to a trade of the player to a new team. The Rockets, Spurs and Wolves are among the favourites to acquire him from the Suns.
But to date, the outcome of the deal remains rather mysterious. Phoenix wants to pick up a few assets in exchange for Durant, but we’re also talking about a player who will be 37 in September. No matter how talented he is, the fact that he’s nearing retirement doesn’t help. However, the Spurs could go on the offensive.
What offer for Kevin Durant?
Although the Texas franchise isn’t obliged to make the move, many observers think the Spurs should take their chances. The second pick in the upcoming draft is too valuable for this trade, but San Antonio also owns the 14th pick, which should be sent to Arizona if this swap does indeed see the light of day.
And the rest? Devin Vassell is a natural contender, having disappointed in this campaign with the Spurs. It’s undoubtedly time for the Texans to turn the page, with the first trade suggested by journalist Jake Weinbach. A way of getting Durant, without giving up many assets in the deal.
@JWeinbachNBA : “A trade package from the Spurs for Kevin Durant would most likely include Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, and the No. 14 overall pick. Durant’s camp reportedly views San Antonio as a preferred landing spot and there’s been reports of mutual interest since the trade deadline.”
The trade of Durant to the Spurs is therefore largely possible with the necessary assets. In the end, the question is how much San Antonio wants the Slim Reaper this off-season. Perhaps their priority remains Giannis Antetokounmpo, although the price tag will be much higher in this case.
