San Antonio Spurs Favorite to Acquire NBA All-Star Kevin Durant
The San Antonio Spurs have emerged as the favorites to land NBA superstar Kevin Durant, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Durant, who will turn 37 this offseason, remains one of the top 20 players in the league despite his age. He is widely expected to be traded in the coming months, and the Spurs are currently leading the race to acquire him.
As reported by Evan Sidery of Forbes, DraftKings gives the Spurs the best odds to acquire the 2014 MVP:
-
San Antonio: +190
-
Houston: +210
-
Minnesota Timberwolves: +600
-
New York Knicks: +600
Both San Antonio and Houston have the draft assets and young prospects to make a strong offer to the Phoenix Suns for Durant.
Adding Durant to the Spurs roster would be a game-changer. The team already boasts rising star Victor Wembanyama, along with De’Aaron Fox and other promising players.
Durant’s impressive career achievements include:
-
30,000+ career points
-
15-time All-Star
-
11-time All-NBA selection
-
4-time Olympic gold medalist
-
2014 NBA MVP
-
2-time NBA champion
-
2-time NBA Finals MVP
-
2-time All-Star Game MVP
-
4-time scoring champion
-
2008 NBA Rookie of the Year
Though the Spurs entered last season with significant expectations, injuries hindered their progress. The team finished 13th in the Western Conference with a 34-48 record, missing the playoffs. Their last playoff appearance was in 2019, when DeMar DeRozan was still on the roster.
