Because of his age, isn't he only able to sign 1 year deals now? I'd be fine with giving him the max 1 year deal.

Kevin Durant wants to win a ring to prove he could win one without Steph Curry and Warriors. The Spurs would be an ideal place because the Spurs haven't even made the playoffs in recent memory if he wants to prove something to fans.
For the Spurs, they've indicated that they are ready to compete now, making the acquisition for Fox. Fox/Wemby/Castle/KD + (not sure who's left after trading for KD) is a filthy start for a starting lineup.
I'm thinking the worse our own pick / Atlanta and Devin Vassell/Keldon Johnson gotta be starting material for a potential package.

Yeah seems like getting him for free other than the $ on a one year is a no brainer,
possible?
Just checked under contract next year 2025-2026 but is UFA after that. No player or team options.
I'd take him om this team at a 1 year deal any day.
He can have Vessal's spot so not much loss there anyway
Vassell + Keldon matches salary to get a deal done. question would be how much draft compensation phoenix wants above and beyond that
i dont think we're going to get a deal that makes sense for us
Only way I see this happening is if KD states publicly that he wants to be a Spur. My guess is he’ll want to go back to okc for next year after they win it all this year.
I think PHX would ask for too much and I don't think it would be worth it from the Spurs pov.
For one year of KD? Vassell/KJ to eat up KD's old minutes. Blake and Braham if they care enough. And with our lottery pick, they pick a defensive wing.
I’m not giving any future draft capital of value for old Durant. If this ATL pick lands in the late teens tho maybe a draft day trade involving it?
thats where im at
Agreed. If I’m the other team, I’m saying “screw that, give me booker at that price instead.”
Spurs ready to compete now....
Ready to compete for play-in, u mean.
Would probably cost two firsts and crap (eg Vassell + Keldon) and leave the Spurs with a razor bench of Sochan, Barnes, Champagnie, and whatever rook they picked, assuming they signed a PF with the MLE. They'd have to really hit a home run with that MLE signing. Don't see John Collins opting out to sign for MLE. Same with Naz Reid. Yabusele can't guard anyone. Aldama is retricted. Is Nance at PF enough to have a shot at contention after landing KD?
FWIW, KD stated the Spurs were his second choice in 2016.
Also relegates Castle to the 4th option. I don't see it.
think he goes to dallas with anthony davis this offseason.
this seems somewhat likely. them or houston.
either way, durant is going back to texas imo
36 and still hooping' at a high level. HOU prob trades for him this Summer though imo.
Sure but i seriously doubt he'd want to come here.

with what assets? they do have a ton of young guys. thompson and sheppard gotta be high up that list
If Im the Suns, a HOU package around Smith/Sheppard/Thompson sounds more appealing than ours w/ Vassell and KJ.
Unpopular question, but does he actually help teams win at this point? Always unhappiness with him. Or maybe he chooses bad situations. Not sure.
Probably goes to Dallas or Flakers
The problem with a Durant summer trade is that Phoenix are deep in the 2nd apron and ideally will want to take back less salary, which would mean looping in another team, thus having to pay 2 teams to make a deal. It’ll be expensive is the point. If anyone thinks he’ll go for Vassell, Keldon and a 15th pick or something similar they better hope Nico Harrison takes over as Suns GM soon.
Houston have the right pieces and after they flame out in the playoffs due to their horrible halfcourt offense in the clutch they should be motivated to get it done. They’ll easily beat most other realistic offers.
