Welcome to San Antonio, KD!!!

[Mnky]

Yeah, that's as much a reality as is Leonard coming off the bench to accommodate Durant. Gulp living in a dream world.. If he goes anywhere at all which is highly unlikely, he'd go to GS before SA 10/10 times.

Leonard would play the other interchangeable wing. Why would he be on the bench?

[Silver&Black]

tbh...

[TheGreatYacht]

In that case, the Spurs don't need another choke artist.

Can't wait to watch him and Kiwi settle for mid range bricks

[Hoops Czar]

I hate dominos and hes choked a million times already, but you're a re so you probably would rather not have him.

You hate who Harlem tells you to hate. You can't think for yourself.

[YGWHI]

Logically, it makes sense for him. He'll be 28 next season, and feeling the pressure (legacy wise) of never having won a ring. The Wizards have a decent core, but even with KD, they're still worse on paper than the Cavs. Same with Boston, another potential suitor.

Spurs are ready and he's the perfect fit. And the fact he "beat" us allows him to save face in not joining the team that beat him, as if he's joining the Spurs to get a Western conference team over the Golden State roadblock. He'll be positioned as the "savior" here rather than as a beta joining other stars.

Yes, I do think it's a long shot because of the fact nothing this good can happen to the Spurs in FA, but the move does make sense for him from a basketball perspective.

Keep the faith.


Also...THANK GOD FOR WESTBROOK CHOKE GENE!!!!!!

[TheDoctor]

VERY unlikely, but if the Worriers were gonna lose the Series, nothing better than in front of their fans.

Three beta's in the starting lineup is going to be tough to watch.

[YGWHI]

Durant is the best FA on the market, if there is any chance to sign him, the Spurs have to.

It would be amazing if they can sign the best FA for 2nd consecutive offseason.

[cascaders]

he should go to portland and pair up with lillard tbh..but yea, spurs getting him would be mega awesome

[soxxx]

My money is on KD leaving, KD wont take a one year deal, it would be a high-risk/low-reward choice. KD wants to lock up his five year deal and it wont be with OKC because he has no idea if Westbrook intends to leave, and if Westbrook does leave next year, he would be left empty-handed.

Not going to happen, Durant either goes to San Antonio, Golden State, Boston or perhaps Washington. I think the Spurs have a solid chance at landing him.

It's makes sense, but as you said it's the Spurs; think it's more likely he stays in OKC.

[RD2191]

If KD wants a ring he'll sign with SA.

[Hoops Czar]

Maybe but, there's a 99.999% he stays in OKC. Do you realize the roster adjustments the Spurs would have to make to just to sign him even if he did consider leaving?

[Hoops Czar]

If KD wants a ring he'll sign with SA.

Agreed. If Kawhi wants a ring, they'll go hard after KD.

[RD2191]

Agreed. If Kawhi wants a ring, they'll go hard after KD.

Kawhi already has a ring and a Finals MVP to go along with it.

[Kawhitstorm]

Trade Kyle Anderson for 3 baby cribs

Cuz KD, Kawhi, and LMA are gonna need em when gets tough in the playoffs

(Trade Porker for CP3 & Pop would need to contract a daycare center)

[look_at_g_shred]

Maybe but, there's a 99.999% he stays in OKC. Do you realize the roster adjustments the Spurs would have to make to just to sign him even if he did consider leaving?

Remember how we thought there was no way we could sign Aldridge either? If KD wants to come here, SA will get it done.

[soxxx]

I disagree, I think OKC is not as stable as an option and Durant wants stability. Westbrook likely bolts in a year from now, and it might be to LA if LA hits it in the draft this year.

Im sure Durant is aware of that, the one year option to stay in OKC might be viable but most of these players want to lock that money up when they can. Bottomline is, I cant see Kevin Durant agreeing to a contract of 5 years with the Thunder. No chance. OKC is beginning to feel more like a failed experiment, and if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now.

KD has already hinted that he is open to leaving, I recall him not denying that he would want to go home to Washington (but that was when Washington looked like they were up and coming).

That franchise is done for the foreseeable future when GS puts the Final nail in the coffin on Monday. Sure, a mentally strong core like the Spurs had can come back from potential franchise killing chokejobs (Game 6), but the frayed relationship Durant and Westbrook have will be likely be severed now. Durant will also get blasted by the local media over there following this game. Barring a miracle win, Durant is gone.

[SD126]

He's not going anywhere. And if he did, there are better options than the Spurs. Don't get Spurstalk's obsession for wanting him or thinking he's coming over.

[Hoops Czar]

Remember how we thought there was no way we could sign Aldridge either? If KD wants to come here, SA will get it done.

No, Spurstalk was in jinx mode. There were very few teams in the running and the Spurs were his best possible destination other than staying with his former team. It was also pretty evident that LMA wanted out of Portland. I haven't heard a peep out of Durant.

[Chillen]

Well if they don't win game 7 on Monday he might end up a Spur afterall.

[skulls138]

Was going for OKC until I listened to Colin Cowherd yesterday just laying into Curry when it seemed safe for him to do it.

The people that say there is no chance he leaves are probably the same people I argued with that said Lebron wouldnt leave Cleveland, and that the Colts would never cut Peyton Manning.........

I was talking roster wise..considering we had Tiago and nobody in their right mind was confident that we could get LMA AND lock green up too.
