Interesting! US media suggests that the Spurs trade Durant, one thing is the key to success or failure

has the Big Three but the team has not made it to the playoffs. It can be said that the Suns' urgency to adjust the roster this summer is no less than that of the Lakers.

Unlike the Suns, if it weren't for the sudden season reimbursement of Vampang Yama, the San Antonio would still be very likely to return to the playoff stage after nearly 10 years.

So for these two teams, the US media "FW" recommends a three-party transaction, as shown in the figure above.

The first thing to be noted is, why did you join the Nets?

is very important to facilitate the possibility of reaching a transaction. To put it bluntly, given that the Suns either traded or formed swaps in the first round 31 years ago, the chips provided by the Nets can allow the former to maintain a certain level of combat power, and lay the groundwork for subsequent transactions.

Spurs suggest that the Spurs trade Durant?

This is not without a problem.

Explanation point 1: Critical moments. The former All-Star Spurs averaged 113.0 points per game, ranked 16th in the league; the average average of 7.2 points per game, ranked 26th in the league at critical moments. In other words, there is a lack of a stable terminator at a critical moment.

Durant scored 100 points with 65 shots in the regular season with a shooting rate of 47.7%. In terms of scoring alone, the league ranked 9th in the same period.

Regardless of the quality or quantity of the end, it can be said that Durant, who decides the victory or defeat, is still trustworthy - the top presence in the league.

Explanation point 2: Integration speed. Durant made 1,124 shots in the regular season, of which 352 shots were taken, with a shooting rate of 47.7%; 508 shots were taken, with a shooting rate of 49.4%. Obviously, it is important to have top finishing efficiency either without the ball or holding the ball.

For the Spurs, Darron Fox, who can shoulder the heavy burden of tactics from the Kings trade, means that Durant can play the role of the Warriors - the indiscriminate singles.

Ability + experience, obviously allows Durant to quickly integrate into the team.

To sum up the above two points, theoretically speaking, Durant's immediate combat effectiveness against the Spurs is obviously greatly improved. But I think there is another key point whether the Spurs will resolutely trade the former: whether the short-term efforts are proportional to the returns.

aspect one: three-person comparison. In the regular season, Durant, Booker and Bill had a net efficiency of -4.1 in the 667 minutes they were present. In other words, the team lost 4.1 points in 100 rounds when the three were on the court together. In comparison, will the combination of Durant + Vinban Yama + Fox definitely be better than the former?

Wenban Yama's defensive potential and combat power are no longer questionable, but his true shooting rate of 57.7% in 117 games so far in his career has no match for the top finishers. As for Fox, the two-point assisted power in his career was 19.7% and the three-point assisted power was 59.9%, which was completely a way of playing with the ball. Of course, Durant could play more for compatibility.

Of course, whether Fox or Durant plays without the ball in order to be compatible, they are like Doncic who loses one or five pick-and-rolls - the offensive threat is greatly weakened.

aspect 2: young players. The Spurs are averaging 44.1 points per game in the regular season and leading the league. The reason for having top substitute firepower is very important is the existence of Kelden Johnson - he played 77 times as a substitute, averaging 12.7 points per game, ranking fifth among substitutes.

As for Devin Vassel, in my opinion, this season is even more a season that has raised the upper limit. To be precise, the end of the investment.

With 598 breakthroughs in the regular season, 282 shots and a shooting percentage of 56.0%. The playing time is not much different, and it is a comprehensive increase compared with the previous season's 465, 227, and 50.2%. Developing a ball to attack the basket and effectively maintain it will undoubtedly lift the upper limit. Just like Reeves. The reason why the Lakers are regarded as a "treasure" is that the finishing level of holding the ball is almost reaching a new height every year.

, the failure of the Suns' Big Three will inevitably make the Spurs' management worry. Moreover, whether Kelden Johnson or Devin Wassel has become the best among young players - even if it cannot reach the heights of Edwards and Alexander, it has been initially achieved to become a high-quality rotation.

Finally, I think the Spurs are unlikely to trade Durant. After all, what you pay in the short term is not proportional to what you get. In addition, Durant's 36-year-old age does not have a long-term perspective.
