由于对方要价高昂，马刺队目前并非全力追逐杜兰特的球队之一。
如果你一直在关注凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 交易的“肥皂剧”，每天面对着层出不穷的变数，那么你现在可能已经心力交瘁了。尽管来自“可靠”消息源的内容并不多，但各种传闻早已甚嚣尘上，以至于完全不予理会反倒成了最省心的选择。今天也不例外，事情一开始是The Athletic报道称马刺队是杜兰特的首选下家（这听起来可信，但实际上没有任何意义）。

接着，一位最可靠的消息人士——ESPN的沙姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 的一段视频火了，视频中，在昨晚的总决赛报道中，当伊曼·香珀特 (Iman Shumpert) 阐述圣安东尼奥对杜兰特来说会是个多么好的下家时，沙姆斯在镜头前做出了“斜眼”和“点头”的动作。尽管香珀特对交易谈判没有内部消息，也完全没有说杜兰特会去那里，但社交媒体上的球迷们都认为沙姆斯的反应意味着他知道些内幕，并且交易肯定很快就发生。

他知道些什么？
也许我只是想太多了。

然而，各位，且慢！沙姆斯今天在Pat McAfee Show节目上澄清了此事。他表示这是他第一次参加这个节目，当时只是在观察周围环境，任何更多的解读都是那些“肢体语言专家”的过度反应。他接着解释说，目前太阳队关注的焦点是热火、火箭和森林狼，尽管香珀特 (Shumpert) 提出了不错的观点，但马刺队在这些交易谈判中并没有表现出积极性。马刺队确实有兴趣，但他们不像其他球队那样孤注一掷，可能更倾向于继续积累他们的资产，以备将来进行更大动作。
你正对着镜头看

对于理智的球迷来说，这应该不足为奇，毕竟一直有报道称马刺队不会为这位即将37岁的老将支付过高的代价。柯克·戈德斯伯里 (Kirk Goldsberry) 在扎克·洛 (Zach Lowe) 的播客中证实了这一点，称太阳队要求得到榜眼签或斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)，但马刺队在这两项上都寸步不让（他们也确实不应该让步）。

尽管一切随时都可能发生变化，但目前来看，马刺队似乎并不是得到杜兰特的热门球队，因为对方的要价太高，而这其实是件好事。太阳队才是急于求成的一方，而不是马刺队，而且还有其他球队（比如火箭、森林狼和热火）可能距离争冠只差“一块拼图”，他们更渴望立刻赢球。与此同时，马刺队拥有更多时间。如果保持健康，他们本身就应该是一支季后赛球队，值得深思的是，为了满足太阳队目前的要求而放弃大量资产，对马刺来说会不会弊大于利。
归根结底，马刺队没有理由操之过急。他们并非急于求成的一方，完全可以等到别无选择、要价降低的时候再出手，即使这会拖到常规赛开始。或者，正如沙姆斯 (Charania) 所说，他们也可能完全退出讨论，将他们的资产留给其他人。
如果我必须猜测，马刺队为杜兰特付出的最高代价应该和我设想的差不多：德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) / 杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) / 凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 中的一人 + 哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) + 布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley) / 马拉基·布兰纳姆 (Malaki Branham) 中的一人 + 首轮14号签和一个未来的选秀权（假设没有第三方球队参与）。对于一位年过35岁的球员来说，超出这个价格水平的任何代价都太高了。

Report: The Spurs are not aggressively pursuing Kevin Durant
The Spurs are not among the teams heavily pursuing Durant right now due to the high asking price.
If you have tried to keep up with the Kevin Durant trade saga, with all its twists and turns on a daily basis, you’re probably mentally drained at this point. While there hasn’t been a whole lot from what would be considered “legit” sources, the rumors have been running rampant to the point that it’s easier to just ignore it all together. Today has been no different, with things starting off with The Athletic stating that the Spurs are Durant’s preferred destination (easy to believe but also doesn’t mean anything).

Then, one of the most trusted sources, Shams Charania of ESPN, went viral for appearing give the camera a side eye and nod as Iman Shumpert explained what a good destination San Antonio would be for Durant during Finals coverage last night. Even though Shumpert has no inside knowledge of trade talks and didn’t at all say that’s where Durant was going, fans all over social media were taking Shams’ reaction to mean he knew something, and a deal must be imminent.
Look at Shams’s body language when Iman Shumpert mentions the Spurs as KD’s best landing spot.
What does he know?
Maybe I’m just doing too much.

But slow down, folks! Shams went on The Pat McAfee Show today to defuse the situation. It was his first time on the show, he said he was just gathering his surroundings, and anything more is overreaction by the “body language expert police”. He went on to explain that the Heat, Rockets and Timberwolves are currently where the Suns’ focus is, and despite the good points Shump made, the Spurs have not an aggressive team in these trade talks. The interest is there, but they aren’t as desperate as those other teams and may prefer to keep stocking their assets for a bigger play down the line.
You’re looking RIGHT at the camera

This shouldn’t be too surprising to fans with level heads, considering it has been continuously reported that the Spurs will not over pay for the soon-to-be 37 year-old. Kirk Goldsberry confirmed as much on Zach Lowe’s podcast, saying the Suns are demanding either the 2nd overall pick or Stephon Castle, but the Spurs aren’t budging on either (and they shouldn’t).

While anything can change at any given moment, at this point it doesn’t seem like the Spurs are the favorites to land Durant because the asking price is too high, and that’s a good thing. The Suns are the desperate team here, not the Spurs, and there are other teams (like the Rockets, Timberwolves and Heat) who may be closer to “one piece away” and more anxious to win now. Meanwhile, the Spurs have more time. They should already be a playoff team if healthy, and it’s reasonable to ask if the amount of assets they would have to give up for Durant to meet the Suns’ current demands could possibly be more of a setback than anything.
The bottom line is the Spurs have no reason to rush things. They aren’t the desperate team here, and they could just as easily wait things out until there’s no other option and the asking price gets lower, even if it drags on into the season. Or, as Shams mentioned, they could be out of the discussion all together and saving their assets for someone else.
If I had to guess, the Spurs’ maximum for Durant is similar to mine: one of either Devin Vassell/Jeremy Sochan/Keldon Johson + Harrison Barnes + Blake Wesley/Malaki Branham + 14th overall pick and one future pick (assuming a third team isn’t involved). Anything more is too much for a player in the 35-and-over club at that price level.
