Mock Trade: Kevin Durant to the Spurs could mark the start of a Suns soft rebuild

Welcome to Kevin Durant Mock Trade Week. As one of the most valuable assets the organization holds — and the most likely piece the Phoenix Suns could move — we’re putting together a weeklong series exploring trade possibilities to determine his true market value. If you haven’t read the lead-up articles laying the groundwork for this, I’d recommend catching up before diving in.

The San Antonio Spurs find themselves at a unique crossroads. They’ve done a lot of things right...and gotten a little lucky along the way. After the Tim Duncan era ended, they embarked on a rebuilding process that finally paid off when a few fortunate ping-pong balls fell their way, landing them a generational big man in Victor Wembanyama.
