Given all the rumors, it’s clear that the Spurs have a shot at drafting Kevin Durant this summer. And if they do, will the franchise have a shot at the title? Let’s just say it’s likely to be the talk of the internet.
According to Shams Charania, the Spurs have clearly prioritized a winger for this summer. Recruiting an inside man to back up Victor Wembanyama is also a mission, but the front office would especially like an upgrade on the wing, with Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo as possibilities. All the more reason to hit the market hard.
But not everyone loves this strategy. San Antonio missed the playoffs again this season, and the franchise still seems a long way from winning the title. Could the arrival of Greek Freak or KD change things? Yes, but can they become real ring contenders? Some people still have their doubts.
The Spurs going all out for Kevin Durant?
And that’s understandable for a team with many shortcomings. The Texans didn’t wait for Wembanyama’s absence to start sinking in the West, because even with him, the postseason was far from a sure thing. But with Durant, things could quickly change… at least for some people.
Given all the rumors in recent weeks, some are preparing for a new Texans trio: Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox and thus Kevin Durant. Add Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper potentially, and San Antonio will have a very intriguing roster for the new season. Enough to cause a ruckus in the playoffs.

Many franchises will undoubtedly be able to stop this Big 3, but everything will depend on their agreement. For the time being, fans prefer to hold off, as KD’s arrival is far from being confirmed. The Spurs have the necessary assets, and the good news is that we’ll know by the draft on June 25. Whether this is the best idea remains to be seen.
