NBA Rumors: Kevin Durant Wants to Play for a Team That Wants Him

Although Kevin Durant supposedly was caught off guard at the trade deadline when it became evident that the Phoenix Suns were seeking to trade him, news has surfaced that there was mutual interest between KD and one of the teams that showed interest in him.

Durant turned down a trade proposal that would have sent him to the Golden State Warriors, but he was interested in joining the San Antonio Spurs, as reported by informant Shams Charania on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. "The Spurs have a lot of tradable assets. They hold the second and fourteenth pick in this year's draft... I think Kevin Durant is another player, there was mutual interest at the deadline. I think they will actively look if there's any forward they can sign to take them to the top."

There are plenty of NBA players vying to play with the phenomenon Victor Wembanyama, and it seems we can count KD among them. It is expected that those conversations will resume in the coming weeks and months. Charania also revealed last month that there are other teams with mutual interest in KD.

Kevin Durant remains one of the best players in the world

The bidding war for Kevin Durant will continue this summer, as several teams have shown interest in the 15-time All-Star and former MVP. He and the Suns will work to find him a suitable new destination, as he has reached the end of his tenure in the desert.

Despite entering his 37th season, Durant remains a lethal scorer, averaging 26.6 points per game last year, along with 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and shooting 43% from three-point range.
