US EditionNBA Trade Rumors: Insider Compares Kevin Durant Situation To Jimmy Butler's as Spurs May Not Go All-In
- On June 19, 2025, Shams Charania reported that the San Antonio Spurs are open to acquiring Kevin Durant only at the right price and will not overpay for him.
- The Spurs are prioritizing the growth of their young talent and are hesitant to part with important pieces for a veteran whose peak years are winding down.
- Despite Durant listing the Spurs among his preferred teams, the Phoenix Suns seek the best possible return before the 2025 NBA Draft, with the Timberwolves holding the top offer.
- Durant averaged 26.6 points and 4.2 assists at 52.7% shooting this season, but insiders compare his uncertain situation to Jimmy Butler’s, who eventually changed his stance and signed a two-year, $121 million deal after landing in Golden State.
- The Spurs’ reluctance to overspend suggests they prioritize a long-term rebuild, while Durant’s next destination remains uncertain if preferred suitors do not improve their offers.
