The San Antonio Spurs are expected to target former Rutgers star Dylan Harper in the 2025 NBA draft even if it means missing out on the chance to acquire 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant.

With Kevin Durant reportedly listing the San Antonio Spurs as a top choice for his next team, trade discussions are intensifying ahead of the NBA Draft. Adding Durant to a young core led by Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox could instantly make San Antonio a Western Conference contender.

Durant reportedly has a wishlist (the Spurs, Rockets and Heat reportedly are on it), and with his expiring contract, he has a bit of leverage to get the deal he wants. But he is 37, not 27, and the threat of him passing on a lucrative two-year extension doesn't hold quite the same weight it once would.
