Reject the Rockets? It is revealed that Durant wants to be traded to the Spurs the most, and join forces with Wenban to create a big business or choose the wrong way again

In this offseason in 2025, Suns star Kevin Durant's whereabouts have attracted widespread attention. As we all know, Durant and the Suns are already disconnected and he is destined to be out of the Suns' plan for next season. With the arrival of the new coach, the Suns will accelerate Durant's trading pace. With about half a month left, the NBA's 2025 draft is coming. The industry generally predicts that Durant's deal will be settled before and after the draft.

There were several teams that had frequently been involved in trade rumors with Durant before. Among them, the Rockets were very close to Durant because they held the Suns' three first-round picks in the future. As long as the Rockets are willing to give the Suns some draft picks, the Suns will hand Durant over to the Rockets. However, the Rockets are worried about Durant's age and injuries, so they are hesitant about trading. In this case, other teams seem to be more active in Durant's trade, such as the Spurs.

The Spurs' chips are not much weaker than those of the Rockets, and Durant himself is also very inclined to join the Spurs. According to previous reports, Durant's departure from the sun this summer has become a "confirm" event. Today, according to HoopsWire famous reporter Sam Amico, the source revealed that compared with other teams, Durant most hopes to be traded to the Spurs. Durant, 36, still has a one-year contract, and his salary next season is $54.7 million. Durant will turn 37 in September this year. This season, he averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game with the Suns, shooting 52.7% from the field, 43.0% from three-pointers and 83.9% from free throws.

In my opinion, it is understandable that Durant is willing to go to the Spurs, because the Spurs' system and current reconstruction status are all attractive to Durant. However, if he goes to the Spurs, it should be said that it is worth looking forward to, but there are also certain risks. Let’s talk about Durant’s prospects for joining the Spurs. On the plus side, talented monsters like Durant and Vinban Yama join forces, and the two talented monsters gathered in the same team are destined to be worth looking forward to, and will definitely make the Spurs have a relatively large improvement.

Just imagine, when your inside line is Wenban Yama, and there is also Kevin Durant in the forward position, whether it is offense or defense, it will bring huge psychological pressure to the opponent. Once you face such a Spurs, it will be difficult for you to break through their penalty area defense, and the Spurs can also use their height to single you alone on the offensive end. Such a lineup is quite terrifying to think about. This is also why Durant is willing to join the Spurs. He may think that it is easier to play if he goes there.

But on the other hand, we need to analyze the possible adverse or risk factors of Durant's visit to the Spurs. Durant's annual salary exceeds 50 million, which is already a big contract. At this age, he will block the Spurs' room for strengthening the Spurs. The Spurs can only form a team around Fox, Durant and Vinbanya Malay. This Big Three looks good on the books, but there is a huge problem, that is, there is no tandem player, and the disadvantages are the same as the Suns' combination of Booker + Durant + Bill.

Durant did not succeed with the Suns, but left a mess. So, if you join the Spurs, will this situation happen? If Durant is willing to go to the Spurs, will he choose the wrong path again? This will be something worth paying attention to. Fan friends, do you think Durant is suitable for the Spurs? Welcome to discuss in the comment section.
