The San Antonio Spurs were long linked to Kevin Durant, although the Phoenix Suns made a deal with the Houston Rockets.

With the reported Kevin Durant trade to the Houston Rockets, there's reasons to believe the Spurs were correct in not pulling the trigger.

The Spurs were reportedly not among the teams that engaged in serious talks to acquire Kevin Durant, according to @ShamsCharania. San Antonio will likely preserve assets to pursue roster upgrades that better fit the timeline of Victor Wembanyama and its young core down the road.
