The San Antonio Spurs might be in the market for another star this offseason to pair with Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox. Such a move could prove costly.

Several times this season, the Phoenix Suns have been involved with trade talks surrounding 15-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant — most notably at February's trade deadline. None of them ended up materializing, but after falling short of the playoffs entirely, moving Durant is more of a must for the Suns than a want, especially if they want more roster flexibility.

The front office doesn't seem to see it that way.

Mat Ishbia and the Suns will not accept less value in a trade involving Kevin Durant than they initially sent out, league sources told @ClutchPoints.

At the same time, it's not a forgone conclusion that KD is going to leave.

According to a new report from ClutchPoints, the Suns won't be willing to accept anything less than they sent out for Durant two years ago; the four-team deal saw Phoenix part with Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap.

If that holds, the Spurs would likely have to include a package of Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, and potentially Keldon Johnson along with a slew of first-round picks — and given the importance placed on youth development, that's unlikely.

The #Suns won't have much leverage this offseason regarding Kevin Durant. That said, Bleacher Report had an idea and a half bringing Durant to San Antonio.

What say the crowd?

PHX receives: Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, Malaki Branham, Julian Champagnie, 2026 1st, 2029 1st swap…

Phoenix is in the midst of a coaching search, which could help turn the roster around if a Durant trade doesn't end up materializing, though that isn't a guarantee. That said, the Spurs will likely do their due diligence, but won't want to overspend on a veteran who would replace several young pieces.

Especially if it means a haul aligned with Phoenix's wishes.
