On June 7, the NBA Finals were in full swing, but the free market has become lively, especially with Durant, which has become the focus of attention. It is revealed that the deal about Durant may be reached before the draft, and 4-6 of these teams have become his potential next home, but now the Suns' Records have revealed a big news.

Just now, Suns reporter John Gambadoro talked about Durant's future on a podcast program. During the period, he said that people around Durant revealed that Durant mentioned the Spurs when talking about his next home, and pointed out that the person around him is someone Durant knows and trusts. Among the previous trading rumors, the Spurs were indeed a potential next dealer of Durant, and the two sides could reach an agreement.

You should know that the Spurs also want to regain their glory. After GDP retired one after another, coupled with Leonard's departure, the team also lost its competitiveness. After choosing Chinese Ban Yama, the Spurs saw an opportunity and have introduced Fox through trades this season. Once they can trade again, their competitiveness will become stronger. Obviously, Durant is also satisfied with such a lineup, at least he doesn't have to put all his energy into both offense and defense like the Suns. The Spurs are also attractive chips, such as the second pick in this draft and the best rookie of this season, which will satisfy the Suns. For the Spurs, they also want to achieve results immediately and need to bring a strong helper to Wenban Yama. Once they can get Durant, they will form a combination of Vinban Yama + Durant + Fox. This internal and external combination is still very good, at least it will make them more competitive.

Once Durant really joins the Spurs, the other teams will be happy, especially on the Clippers. Previously, the media revealed that they would be a dark horse team pursuing Durant. Now it seems that they are just fantasies. Obviously, the Clippers do not have chips that can attract the Suns, and there are no first-round picks in their hands. It is not realistic to introduce big-name stars. We can only see if the free market can attract some players to join.
