There are interests in each other, and the Spurs are exposed to be eyeing Antetokounmpo and Durant! This news also fits the speculations of many US media before. Three of the transaction plans are worth discussing. Through trading, the Spurs sold their second picks and formed three giants to compete for the championship around Wenban Yama.
Spurs are targeting KD and Antetokounmpo
According to ESPN famous reporter Shams, in the live broadcast program "The Pat McAfee Show", the Spurs are seeking wing reinforcements, hoping to introduce more helpers for Vampan Yama, Durant and Antetokounmpo are the targets that the Spurs are interested in.
Shams also revealed on the show that the Spurs had an interest in each other as early as the trading deadline, and I believe that the two sides will discuss the possibility of joining forces again this summer.
And the Spurs hold a large number of high-quality chips including the 25th-year pick and the No. 14th pick. They have the ability to reorganize the lineup around Wenban Yama to achieve a qualitative leap.
The US media showed 3 trading plans
In fact, the outside world's speculation that the Spurs are interested in Durant and Antetokounmpo was long before the famous reporter Shams was exposed, and many US media have successively posted many potential trading plans, of which 3 trading plans are worth discussing.
Trading plan 1: Spurs 4 for 1 Durant
Suns get: Wassell + Kelden Johnson + No. 14 in 2025 + First round pick in 2029;
Spurs get: Durant.
This transaction plan comes from the US media "SI". Considering Durant's age, in most US media trading tips, the Spurs are not recommended to send away the second draw, because 25 years is a recognized year of draft picks, and the second draw is of great value.
Therefore, this trading plan is a perfect choice for the Spurs. They will send away some first-round picks and immediate players, bet on Durant, the superstar, and strive to win in the next 1-2 seasons.
This season, Durant can still average 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks and all-around data, which is a completely trustworthy key scorer.
Trading plan 2: Tripartite transactions
Spurs get: Durant + 30-year second-round pick (Nets);
Suns get: Clarkston + Kelden Johnson + No. 14 in 25 + 29-year Spurs first-round pick + 31-year Spurs first-round pick;
Nets get: Vassel + 25-year second-round pick (Suns) + 26-year first-round swap (Spurs).
Compared to "SI" one-sidedly suggesting the Spurs, the trading plan given by "Open-On-Stand" is more inclined to the Suns. In order to get Durant, the Spurs not only have to pay Wassel and Kelden Johnson, but also 3 first-round picks including the No. 14 draw, and one first-round pick from the outside world exchanges.
Considering Durant's contract and age, the price of this transaction plan is obviously high. After all, Durant has entered the end of his career, and Durant's market feedback is limited.
However, after 76 people appeared in the market who were interested in the news of Durant, famous reporter Stein quickly refuted the authenticity of the news. Therefore, the Spurs were difficult to accept such a plan. The Suns had to reduce the price appropriately in Durant's trade instead of expecting that they could still get huge returns.
Trading Plan 3: 8 for 1 Antetokounmpo
Spurs get: Antetokounmpo;
Bucks get: Barnes + Kelden Johnson + Sohan + No. 14 + Hawks' first round in 27 years + 29 years + 31 years first round.
Compared with Durant, Antetokounmpo is obviously a better choice for strengthening, because Antetokounmpo's current game ability is better than Durant, and he also has a huge advantage in terms of age.
Therefore, this trading plan packaged 5 first-round picks in one go, including the second pick and the No. 14 draw, but as long as you can get Antetokounmpo, this trading plan is worth considering by the Spurs.
Build a lineup around the three giants Antetokounmpo + Wenban + Fox, the Spurs will maintain their competitiveness in the championship for at least the next 5-10 years.
