凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 精准的投篮将有助于为全明星中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 拉开空间。
随着关于菲尼克斯太阳队 (Phoenix Suns) 试图为凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 争取丰厚回报的交易流言甚嚣尘上，据报道，圣安东尼奥已成为这位老将球星的首选目的地。
《The Athletic》周一晚援引联盟消息人士的话报道称，鉴于太阳队正与多支球队进行谈判，这位未来的名人堂成员已明确指出，马刺队是他特别希望加盟的球队。
太阳队并非必须将杜兰特交易到他心仪的球队，但这位征战了16个赛季的老将握有一定筹码，因为他的合同仅剩一年。ESPN近期报道称，杜兰特已表态他只愿意与三支球队续约：休斯顿火箭队 (Houston Rockets)、迈阿密热火队 (Miami Heat) 和马刺队。
如今，正需要一名稳定的外线威胁来为全明星中锋文班亚马拉开空间的圣安东尼奥队，据报道位居该名单榜首。但鉴于太阳队正寻求最大化这位2米11前锋的交易回报，马刺队是否愿意给予太阳队他们所寻求的呢？
据报道，太阳队对马刺队迄今为止的报价并不满意，《The Athletic》将其描述为“保守的”报价方案，这意味着即将到来的选秀大会的榜眼签以及2024-25赛季年度最佳新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 几乎肯定不在谈判范围内。
马刺队可能与菲尼克斯讨论的筹码包括哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)、德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 以及选秀大会的第14顺位选秀权。《亚利桑那共和报》援引联盟消息人士的话报道称，如果太阳队想与马刺队达成交易，他们可能不得不降低要价。
作为15届全明星、4届NBA得分王、在金州勇士队 (Golden State Warriors) 两次夺得联盟总冠军的杜兰特，在太阳队度过了过去的三个赛季。但在去年无缘季后赛之后，菲尼克斯正寻求开启观察人士所称的“软重建”。
杜兰特在下赛季开始时将年满37岁，他在2025-26赛季拥有一份价值5470万美元的到期合同。他将从7月6日起有资格签署一份为期两年、最高价值1.22亿美元的续约合同。
如果他在交易后等待六个月，他可以签下一份为期两年、最高价值1.24亿美元的续约合同。
杜兰特上赛季场均得到26.6分，在62场比赛中，他场均出手6次三分球，命中率达到43%。这位德克萨斯大学 (University of Texas) 的校友职业生涯场均27.2分，场均出手5次三分球，命中率为39%。
马刺队上赛季战绩为34胜48负，将队史最长季后赛荒延长至五个赛季。

Suns’ Kevin Durant reportedly eyeing Spurs as trade rumors swirl
Kevin Durant’s dead-eye shooting would help space the floor for All-Star center Victor Wembanyama.
As trade rumors swirl regarding the Phoenix Suns’ bid to fetch a favorable return for Kevin Durant, San Antonio reportedly has emerged as the preferred destination of the aging star.
Citing league sources as the Suns engage in talks with several teams, The Athletic reported Monday night the future Hall of Famer has identified the Spurs as the franchise he specifically would like to join.
The Suns don’t necessarily have to trade Durant to his preferred team, but the 16-year veteran possesses some leverage with just one year left on his contract. ESPN reported recently Durant has indicated he would be willing to sign an extension with only three teams: the Houston Rockets, the Miami Heat and the Spurs.
Now San Antonio, which is in need of a consistent outside threat to space the floor for All-Star center Victor Wembanyama, reportedly heads that list. But are the Spurs willing to give Phoenix what it wants as the Suns seek to maximize the return for the 6-foot-11 forward?
The Suns reportedly have not been enamored with what the Spurs have offered so far, a package The Athletic described as “conservative,” meaning the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft and 2024-25 Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle are almost certainly off limits.
The assets the Spurs likely have discussed with Phoenix include Harrison Barnes, Devin Vassell and the 14th pick in the draft. If the Suns want to get a deal done with the Spurs, they likely will have to reduce their asking price, the Arizona Republic, citing league sources, reported.
A 15-time All-Star, four-time NBA scoring champion and two-time league champion with the Golden State Warriors, Durant has spent the last three seasons with the Suns. But Phoenix is looking to start what observers have called a “soft rebuild” after missing the playoffs last year.
Durant, who will be 37 at the start of next season, is on an expiring contract worth $54.7 million for the 2025-26 season. He will be eligible starting July 6 to sign a two-year extension worth up to $122 million.
Should he wait six months after the trade, he could sign a two-year extension worth up to $124 million.
Durant averaged 26.6 points per game last season while shooting 43% from 3-point range on 6 attempts per outing over 62 games. The University of Texas alumnus is averaging 27.2 points for his career while shooting 39% from beyond the arc on 5 attempts per game.
The Spurs finished 34-48 last season, extending their franchise-record playoff drought to five seasons.
