The Suns don t look down on the first round pick given by the Spurs and the Rockets, and want the second pick for the Spurs

Basketball

Two days ago, it was said that the Spurs and the Suns had already negotiated a deal about Durant, and they were waiting for the official announcement. Yesterday, the US Records Brandon Rob reported another big news. The Suns rejected the Spurs' plan to use the 14th pick in the first round of 2025 as the main body. It also broke that the Suns also rejected the Rockets' chip plan to draw with the 10th pick in the first round. If the Rockets and the Spurs do not make plans adjustments, the two may have to withdraw from the deal for Durant in advance.

From the Suns an internal source said that the Spurs did want to get Durant, but they never included the more valuable 2025 second pick in their hands in the discussion, which has always disappointed the Suns because they thought the Spurs would pay for Durant this year's second pick. After all, when it comes to star trading, this high-quality first round is more impressive.

My mom! It turned out that the Suns were preparing to get the Spurs' second pick, but the Spurs were probably unwilling to do so, because Durant does not say that joining the Spurs can win the championship. It is still very difficult for the Spurs to directly compete for the championship with Durant in the current lineup. Let’s not talk about Durant’s condition for now? How much oil is there when you are 37 years old? Will the channel be injured? Just talking about Wenban Yama, he still needs time to grow, and his current style of playing is still flawed.

Wenban deliberately added three-pointers from outside last season. He can indeed make a move, but his hit rate is really not high, and Wenban's current physical condition is not suitable for playing in the No. 5 position.

Inadequate ability to confront: he is thin and has a relatively light weight. He is prone to suffer losses in high-intensity confrontation, which affects his offense, defense and rebounding battles in the inside.

Uns good shooting stability: the three-point shooting percentage is unstable, and sometimes there will be no three-point shooting situations, and the shooting percentage at critical moments of the game also needs to be improved.

Single offensive choice and means: the offensive end relies too much on the ball to attack. When the ball is out, most of them can only be used as an open shooter to restrain the opponent. The inside is strong and the ability to misplace the position is insufficient. When facing short and strong defenders and double-teams, the ability to pass the ball and hard position resolution needs to be strengthened.

Defensive awareness and skills need to be improved: Although you are tall and long and have a large defense coverage area, the center of gravity is not well controlled when defending at low posts, and it is easy to be shaken down. The awareness of protection of defensive rebounds also needs to be improved.

And judging from last season, Wenban and Fox did not have much strong chemistry. It takes time for the two to get in. It takes even more time to add Durant. At least the first year's championship will definitely be out.

Of course, the Spurs hope to get Durant is definitely trying to go further in the playoffs. After all, Durant has rich playoff experience and can trust key ball skills.

At present, Durant's next company is still confusing, but the outside world generally believes that the Spurs and the Rockets will adjust their strategies and quickly give more attractive offers.

But it should be the Suns who are anxious. They want this year's draft pick, so they have to trade Durant before this year's draft begins. Then I also need to deal with Bill. I don’t know whether it’s a buyout or a draft pick deal, and I also have to renew Booker in advance. I feel like there are a lot of things to deal with.

What do you think? Will the Spurs use their second pick this year? Where will Durant go in the end? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
