One potential landing spot that\u2019s gaining traction? The San Antonio Spurs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"541\">NBA reporter Brett Siegel suggests that the Spurs might pursue a blockbuster trade for Durant, creating a powerhouse trio alongside Victor Wembanyama and De\u2019Aaron Fox. If that happens, San Antonio could instantly become one of the most exciting teams in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"824\">Durant, a 15-time All-Star and one of the greatest scorers in history, has played alongside some legendary teammates throughout his career. Adding Wembanyama\u2014one of the most promising young stars in basketball\u2014would be a generational pairing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"1059\">With Durant\u2019s elite scoring ability and Wembanyama\u2019s defensive dominance and versatility, the Spurs could have a frontcourt that\u2019s nearly impossible to stop. And if Fox joins the mix, their offense could be among the league\u2019s best.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"1059\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1109\"><strong data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1107\">Would Phoenix be willing to trade Kevin Durant?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1367\">The Suns need to replenish their draft assets, and trading Durant could help them regain valuable first-round picks. While moving on from a superstar is never easy, Phoenix might have to consider a deal if they want to reshape their roster for the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1652\">If the Spurs land Durant, they wouldn\u2019t just accelerate their rebuild\u2014they\u2019d become a legitimate contender. A trio of KD, Wemby, and Fox would give them the star power and offensive firepower to compete with the best in the West.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1817\">For now, this is just speculation. But if the Spurs are looking to take a giant leap forward, making a move for Durant could be their best shot at instant success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Durant\u2019s future with the Phoenix Suns is uncertain, and if the team decides to retool, he could be on\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":63959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[13734],"class_list":["post-63958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-kevin-durant"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
