NBA rumors: Spurs teased as Kevin Durant trade destination before draft

The Spurs could be a team to watch for a Kevin Durant trade. Will San Antonio make a serious pursuit of the Suns star?

The Kevin Durant trade rumors are starting to heat up as the 2025 NBA Draft approaches. While the Phoenix Suns are reportedly making a push for a Houston Rockets trade, speculation and rumblings are out there about other teams as well. The San Antonio Spurs are one of those other teams, according to Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro, who thinks a trade could go down leading up to the draft.

“The team that I heard last night in speaking to somebody pretty close to the situation with KD, is keep your eye on the Spurs. KD could have some interest in the Spurs, that may be a good landing spot for him with Fox and Wemby an up and coming team on the rise, that has a great defensive anchor on their team, and a terrific young player in Stephon Castle,” Gambadoro said.

“What could the Suns get? You might have to take Harrison Barnes back to make it work but you could get Devin Vassel, who is a very young player (…) I expect that a KD deal would happen right before the draft, because you want to include draft capital in the deal, so a KD trade would come up this month sometime before the draft, probably close to the draft if it’s gonna happen.”
