2025年2月20日星期四，在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的穆迪中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫克里斯·保罗 (3) 在第一节比赛中防守菲尼克斯太阳队前锋凯文·杜兰特 (35)。马刺队以120-109击败了太阳队。
凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 即将重返德克萨斯州——但目的地并非圣安东尼奥。
这场持续已久的杜兰特争夺战于周日画上句号，菲尼克斯太阳队最终同意将这位前德克萨斯大学球员送往休斯顿火箭队。
据ESPN报道的交易条款显示，太阳队将杜兰特送往休斯顿，换取了包括后卫 杰伦·格林 (Jalen Green) 和 狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks) 、今年选秀大会的10号签以及总计五个次轮选秀权在内的丰厚筹码。
杜兰特的名字在休赛期的大部分时间里都出现在交易流言之中，因为表现令人失望的太阳队正寻求围绕全明星后卫 德文·布克 (Devin Booker) 进行重建。
根据最近几天的多方报道，这位15届全明星球员已将他的首选下家范围缩小到休斯顿、迈阿密和圣安东尼奥——其中马刺队被认为是他的首选。
马刺队拒绝在任何交易谈判中放入今年的榜眼签或是卫冕最佳新秀 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) ，这很可能导致菲尼克斯太阳队将目光投向了别处。
杜兰特将在九月迎来36岁生日，他即将进入现有合同的最后一年。一旦与休斯顿的交易流程完成，他将有资格签下一份最高价值可达1.22亿美元的两年期续约合同。

Kevin Durant headed to Texas, but not San Antonio
San Antonio Spurs guard Chris Paul (3) guards Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35) during the first quarter at Moody Center on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025, in Austin, Texas. The Spurs defeated the Suns 120-109.
Kevin Durant is headed back to Texas – but not to San Antonio.
The long-running Durant sweepstakes came to an end Sunday, with the Phoenix Suns at last agreeing to a deal to send the former University of Texas to the Houston Rockets.
Terms of the trade, as reported by ESPN, have the Suns delivering Durant to Houston for a haul that includes guards Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this year’s draft and a collection of five second-round picks.
Durant’s name has been in the trade rumor mill for much of the offseason, as the disappointing Suns are looking to rebuild around All-Star guard Devin Booker.
According to multiple reports in recent days, the 15-time All-Star had narrowed his list of preferred destinations to Houston, Miami and San Antonio – with the Spurs believed to be his top choice.
The Spurs’ refusal to include either the No. 2 pick in this year’s draft or reigning Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle in any trade discussion likely sent Phoenix looking elsewhere.
Durant, who turns 36 in September, is entering the final year of his current contract. He is eligible for a two-year extension worth as much as $122 million once the trade with Houston is processed.
