Spurs, want to compete with the Thunder! Durant is the Admiral of Vinbanyama

If you guess correctly, Durant will join the Spurs 100%. After all, he really went for the NBA championship, not to tear down another team.

37-year-old Durant still averages 26.7 points per game this season. Although his trading value cannot be compared with Antetokounmpo, he does not have the potential to be a quotation chip for young players at the All-Star level and first-round draft pick assets, and he cannot get it.

For Durant, there is not much time left to prove him.

Based on the 40-year-old retirement, there are only 3 seasons left. He has not won the third championship since leaving the Warriors in 2019, which has caused his leadership ability to be criticized and questioned by the outside world.

Now, Durant is eager to leave the Suns, with only one purpose - to win the damn third championship, to shut up all the trolls in the world, and to save himself from raising netizens all day long.

Therefore, what he needs to be sure is that after he is traded to his new owner, the team still has a team to win the championship. At present, the Rockets and Spurs are wealthy landlords, and they have enough young potential players and draft assets.

However, coach Uduka hopes that the players will absolutely obey him. If a veteran star like Durant comes to Houston, this balance will be broken. Therefore, the possibility of the Rockets introducing Durant is extremely low.

Talking about the Spurs again, they have the NBA's genius, Wenban Yama, who is rare in a century. Last season, they "stole" Fox from the Kings. Now they lack a key scorer for plug and play, and Durant is their perfect puzzle.

Durant, he will play the role of David Robinson, the naval general who escorts Wenban Yama. In the 2002-03 season, Duncan won the first championship with David Robinson. That season, Robinson announced his retirement after winning the championship.

Of course, 37-year-old Durant is better than David Robinson, who was at the end of his career. Wenban Yama, who just turned 2nd grade, needs the assistance of a veteran even if he is talented and wants to ascend the throne to become king.

For the Spurs, since Duncan retired, they have finally waited for Wenban Yama through many years of bad luck. They need to quickly open a new dynasty and cannot let the Thunder take the lead.

Durant + Fox + Vinban Yama, he chose Harper again in the second draw this year. This core team is enough to compete with the Thunder.
