The NBA offseason is really picking up, and one of the most captivating rumors is that Kevin Durant might be heading to the San Antonio Spurs. During a recent episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast, the famous sports analyst mentioned that a trade between the Phoenix Suns and the Spurs for Durant could already be in the works, just waiting for an official announcement during the NBA Draft week.

Bill Simmons' bold prediction: Kevin Durant to the Spurs could be a done deal

Bill Simmons recently shared his thoughts on the potential Kevin Durant trade. He remarked, "I wouldn't be surprised if KD to the Spurs is done already and they just haven't announced it. Basically, they've agreed on specifics, just announce it on the week of the draft. This goes back to the Giannis thing.

I think they trade for KD because it just costs less. They'll be able to be real competitive and maybe go a couple of rounds in the playoffs, but they're also going to keep the No.

2 pick and do it that way, which is my prediction." Simmons thinks that getting Durant would be a smarter financial choice for the Spurs than going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, helping them stay competitive and keep their No. 2 draft pick.

With Durant's contract with the Suns winding down, he's become a focal point in trade conversations.

Despite his age, he's still showing off his skills, averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. However, his injury history and the Suns' playoff goals have raised questions about his future in Phoenix.Right now, the Spurs are in a rebuilding stage with promising players such as Victor Wembanyama. Adding a veteran like Durant could really help them out. Reports indicate that the Suns are looking for a lottery pick, and the Spurs' No.

2 pick might be a crucial bargaining chip.Also Read: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander says he hopes to mirror Kobe Bryant’s competitive fire after crushing Game 1 loss to Indiana PacersThe thought of Kevin Durant potentially signing with the San Antonio Spurs is still up in the air, but it's creating quite a buzz.
