A random idea was all it took to spark chaos among Spurs fans, who were outraged by the price suggested by a Suns supporter in a hypothetical trade for Kevin Durant. One thing is clear: Texans should absolutely not go through with that deal.
Speculation has been swirling for days around Kevin Durant’s future. All signs point to the Suns eventually parting ways with their superstar after another disappointing playoff exit. Three teams are regularly mentioned in rumors: the Heat, the Rockets, and the Spurs. But it’s San Antonio that has found itself in the middle of heated controversy—because of a single tweet.
This isn’t a report from a journalist or a leaked front-office discussion. The idea came from a fan account followed by many Suns supporters, which proposed a scenario where San Antonio sends the No. 2 pick in the 2025 Draft along with Stephon Castle in exchange for Durant. A suggestion deemed wildly excessive by most Spurs fans, who see it as a total lack of perspective.
The controversial trade package for Kevin Durant
@SunsAreBetter : “A bidding war for Kevin Durant between the Heat, Spurs, and Rockets has the potential to yield the Suns a major return, with packages featuring: Heat – Kel’el Ware Spurs – #2 pick/Castle Rockets – Regain ‘25/27/29 picks Feels like we’re building towards a haul for PHX.”
This simple post was enough to ignite a firestorm. While Durant remains a hugely talented player, his age, injury history, and contract situation make him a risky gamble for a rebuilding franchise like San Antonio. Giving up a potential future All-Star with the No. 2 pick and a promising rookie like Castle was widely mocked.
Some argue Durant could fast-track Wembanyama’s development, but many believe the price is far too steep. In a context where every decision is closely examined and the franchise is clearly playing the long game, this kind of idea feels more like a virtual hot take than a serious strategy.
At this point, there’s no indication the Spurs are seriously considering such an aggressive move. But the mere suggestion shows just how polarizing the Kevin Durant situation is—even among fanbases he’s never played for. With the Draft fast approaching, expect more rumors and strong reactions to follow.
