Kevin Durant reportedly prefers a trade to the Spurs, and a potential deal could send Jeremy Sochan, Keldon Johnson, Harrison Barnes, and the No. 14 pick to the Suns.
Kevin Durant reportedly has a preferred landing spot if he's traded this offseason: the San Antonio Spurs. That raises the question: What could the Phoenix Suns get in return?

For the Spurs, adding Durant would address their need for outside shooting, and it could be a dream scenario for Victor Wembanyama.
The 2023 No. 1 pick has named KD and Giannis Antetokounmpo as his two biggest role models. He even said last year that he tries to model his game after Durant's.
Perhaps most importantly for San Antonio, the deal would land them a superstar without requiring them to include their prized No. 2 pick in the 2025 draft.
The Suns are widely expected to trade Kevin Durant in the coming weeks.
