Suns Reporter: Durant told people close to him that he would eventually join the Spurs

On June 7, Beijing time, Suns reporter John Gambadoro talked about Durant's future on a podcast. According to him, Durant told people he trusted that he thought he would eventually join the Spurs.

It's worth mentioning that just two days ago, NBA reporter Jake Weinbach also reported that Durant's camp has the San Antonio Spurs as their preferred next home. Since the trade deadline, there have been reports of mutual interest between the two parties. Weinbach also said that the Spurs' possible trade offer for Durant includes Vassell, Harrison Barnes and the No. 14 pick in the first round this year.

At that time, Weinbach's report quickly caused a heated discussion among fans, with some Suns fans saying that such an offer was obviously not enough, and hoped that the Spurs could increase their chips. Some fans have questioned whether the Suns will be impressed by the Spurs' offer, as it has been reported that the Suns want to get the most in return is a center.

Now, Gambadoro's report at least further confirms Durant's interest in the Spurs. If he can join the Spurs, he will join forces with Wemban, making this team a powerhouse in the West.

The Spurs have been very active in trade rumors lately, and the team has also been involved in rumors about stars such as Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown. When it comes to Jaylen Brown's latest next odds, the Spurs are at the top of the list. By all indications, the Spurs are likely to make a big move this offseason, and even without Durant, they could bring in a star to make the Spurs even more formidable contenders next season.

Previously, Shams also talked about Durant on the show. He said that in the next 2-3 weeks, talk about Durant being traded from Phoenix will heat up. It is reported that the Suns will work with Durant and his business partner Kleiman to push for a deal. The trade market for him is expected to be active, with 4-6 teams likely interested in him before the NBA draft. Between now and the draft later this month, substantive talks about trading Durant will begin. ”
