Durant is known for his antics on X, and usually, he gets a reaction out of people. It was no different in his case.

With summer on the horizon, Durant's future in Phoenix remains uncertain. Whether he stays put or ends up on the move is still very much up in the air.

During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's Shams Charania noted that there could be renewed trade conversations between Durant and the San Antonio Spurs.

The two sides were reportedly linked ahead of the trade deadline, and that mutual interest could resurface in the coming months.

A user on X by the name of TheGreatOne, called out Durant for this rumor saying, "Would be the fifth franchise @KDTrey5 joins. Can't be a top 15 player all time if you've played for 5 franchises. Winners build dynasties. They don't jump ship every time there's a sign of a struggle."

Durant later replied with this post.

"Like I always say! Make your own rules up and curate this nba fantasy world the way u want. Enjoy that top 15 list," wrote Durant.

Durant is set to enter his 19th season in the league, but where that will be is unclear.

The 15-time All-Star has been linked to many teams, including the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, and the Minnesota Timberwolves, to name a few.

Durant just completed his second full season with the Suns, and it was not a pretty one. While his numbers were impressive, averaging 26.6 points, six rebounds, and 4.2 assists over 62 regular-season games played, the team's success was far from it.

Phoenix finished out of the Play-In, as the No. 11 seed with a 36-46 record.

Though Durant's next destination remains uncertain, the Spurs stand out as a team well-equipped to make a compelling offer for the 37-year-old star.

San Antonio owns the No. 2 and No. 14 picks in this year's draft, in addition to a stockpile of future first-rounders. With that kind of draft capital and roster flexibility, the Spurs are in a position to put together a deal that brings in a proven talent without completely compromising their long-term vision.

Durant will have a ton of options to choose from in the coming months.
