The San Antonio Spurs are in a spot with Victor Wembanyama that they could legit be one star scorer away from a serious Playoff push. In this article I’ll analyze why Kevin Durant would fit with the Spurs, and why this could be a realistic trade! For this prediction, it would also come AFTER the 2024-2025 season as I believe the Suns will give their current core at least one more chance.
5 NBA Stars That Could Win A Championship Alongside Victor Wembanyama
This is a PREDICTION, not a REPORT! Before you run to yell at me, ask yourself: Which team would decline this trade and why, instead of a simple “YOU’RE AN IDIOT.”
Trade Proposal:
Suns Receive: G Devin Vassell, F Keldon Johnson, Two 1st Round Picks
Spurs Receive: F Kevin Durant
Why the Suns Make this Trade:
This is simply a trade the Phoenix Suns will make if they don’t have a deep playoff run. If I’m the Suns, the only drawback to this would be if I’m not getting enough, like Stephon Castle would immediately make this worth it, I doubt San Antonio parts ways with him.
For the Suns to get the 1st rounders and a young stud like Devin Vassell, this is as positive as you can get for ending the partnership that was SUPPOSED to win you a Ring.
Why the Spurs Make this Trade:
The Spurs moved their Austin game to February when Kevin Durant is in town. Durant played a season of college basketball in Austin Texas, and the connection is somewhat there. Also, Victor Wembanyma’s favorite player growing up was Kevin Durant.
As stated in this article, I truly believe this Spurs team will compete for a championship soon, but they just need a forward that has superstar scoring upside.
