Kevin Durant has reportedly identified the San Antonio Spurs as one of his preferred trade destinations, per The Athletic, but San Antonio’s front office has balked at the idea. They’d need to surrender vital young assets or top draft selections to land the 12‑time All‑Star.
Complicating matters further, Durant has “no desire” to join the Minnesota Timberwolves, despite Minnesota’s deep playoff run and roster featuring Anthony Edwards, per Shams Charania.
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic shook up the Eastern Conference on Monday by acquiring shooting guard Desmond Bane from the Memphis Grizzlies. In return, Memphis received guards Kentavious Caldwell‑Pope and Cole Anthony, plus four unprotected first‑round draft picks and one first‑round pick swap.
Bane, fresh off a 19.2‑point, 6.1‑rebound, 5.3‑assist season, immediately inked his place as Orlando’s new backcourt cornerstone. Upon seeing video of Bane’s enthusiastic “dap” with Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley, Durant took to X with a succinct six‑word reaction.
“They heard this dap in Memphis” He posted. His post went viral on social media with fans speculating about his probable trade destination.
