It has become a foregone conclusion that Durant will leave the Suns this summer, and there are many teams that want to get him, including the Rockets, the Warriors, etc. The Spurs also want to get Durant. They already have Vampangyama and Fox. If they get Durant and form a Big Three lineup, then they really have hope of winning the championship next season.

The US media gave the Spurs a plan to trade Durant, that is, the Spurs jointly traded with the Suns and the Nets. The Spurs gave the first-round draft pick and Wassell and Kelden Johnson, thus getting Durant. The Suns gave the Durant, getting Clarkston and Kelden Johnson, the first-round draft pick in 2025 and the first-round draft pick in 2027, and the Nets gave the Clarkston and the draft pick, getting Wassell and the first-round draft pick in 2029.

Durant averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season. His performance will be very good. This season, the Spurs' Vampan Yama averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game, and Fox averaged 23.5 points and 6.3 assists per game. This combination lineup will be very strong, because Fox is a defender, Durant is a forward, and Vampan Yama is an inside player. Their combination is very reasonable.

Although the Spurs are no longer Popovich's head coach, Popovich is still the team's president. He once coached Durant in the national team. He is very familiar with Durant. Durant will be very suitable for the Spurs. His experience in winning the championship will give Vinbanyama and Fox a lot of help.

This deal is beneficial to the Suns, Spurs and Nets. The Suns can continue to build a team around Booker. The Nets have obtained a high-quality potential player, and the Spurs have the strength to compete for the championship in the West. In this way, the Western Conference teams will be stronger and the competition will be more fierce. The Thunder, Rockets, Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Spurs, Timberwolves, etc. are all very strong teams, and next season will still be the time for the powerful to fight fiercely.
