KD Eyes Spurs, But Fans Say ‘Not So Fast’ — San Antonio Loyalists Prefer Youth Over Stardom
Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns are reportedly preparing to part ways this offseason, opening the door for several teams to pursue the former MVP. Among those teams, the San Antonio Spurs have emerged as a potential landing spot, with Durant himself expressing some level of interest in joining the rising squad led by Victor Wembanyama. However, not all Spurs fans are sold on the idea.
Longtime supporter Malone Allen voiced his hesitation, saying that while Durant is undoubtedly one of the greatest scorers of all time, the timing no longer feels right. “I would’ve gladly welcomed KD four years ago,” Allen remarked. “But right now, I’d rather see the Spurs build around youth and focus on acquiring a big who can rebound and contribute offensively in the paint.”
For Allen and like-minded fans, the priority lies in developing a cohesive, long-term core rather than chasing short-term star power. With Wembanyama showing flashes of generational talent and a promising young roster taking shape, there’s a growing sentiment that adding a veteran like Durant might disrupt the developmental arc—especially if it comes at the cost of future flexibility. The Spurs have the foundation; now it’s about building it the right way.
