Since the start of the rumors, opinions have been sharply divided regarding the possible arrival of Kevin Durant at the Spurs. Some are in favor, and make it known, regardless of the player’s age. A non-issue?
With assets and big ambitions in the Western Conference, the Spurs have some important decisions to make in the coming weeks. This will officially begin with the draft and the probable selection of Dylan Harper. But during the month of June, San Antonio is likely to be involved in multiple negotiations.
While talks with Giannis Antetokounmpo have not begun, as the player has yet to make a decision behind the scenes, those with Kevin Durant have, according to Shams Charania. The Suns hope to recover valuable assets to move forward, but the player’s age is a problem. KD turns 37 in September.
Is recruiting Kevin Durant a good idea for the Spurs?
From that point on, you have to wonder whether it’s worth it to recruit such a player. Durant is a phenomenon and continues to make life easier for his team, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up a lot of assets to get him. The Spurs are in the throes of reflection, and many are hoping that the Texan franchise won’t give in on this issue.
For the time being, it’s hard to say how this matter will end. Shams has confirmed that Spurs are interested, but it’s not clear how much. For some fans in any case, recruiting Durant is a godsend and the opportunity must be seized. That, at least, is the opinion of this well-known Twitter account.
@SpursCulture : “If y’all thought Harrison Barnes was a great pickup, just imagine Kevin Durant I don’t care if he’s 36, that MF will be able to get efficient buckets well into his 60s Also, any weaknesses KD has on defense will be covered up by that 8’0″ alien we have on our team”
Durant could certainly become even more dangerous with Wembanyama at his side, which is why many fans are hoping for a partnership between the two men. It’s not impossible, and the good news is that we should know more soon. As a reminder, the draft is set for June 25, and the outcome should take place before then.
