, according to the latest article by American media reporter Jake Weinbach, a three-way trade simulation plan for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant was recently exposed, involving the San Antonio Spurs, Charlotte Hornets and the Suns. If the plan is implemented, it will have a significant impact on the Western Conference of the NBA.

According to the simulation plan, Durant will be traded to the San Antonio Spurs to form a double star combination with young center Victor Wembanyama; the Hornets will get the Spurs' young forward Jeremy Sohan and three second-round draft picks in the trade. In return for the trade, the Suns will get three ready-to-play players, Harrison Barnes, Malik Monk and Devin Vassell, and an additional first-round draft pick No. 14 from the Hawks .

It is worth mentioning that Bill Simmons, a famous NBA commentator, also mentioned Durant's preference to join the Spurs in his show on the same day, and said that the two sides are expected to finalize the details of the deal in the next week. Judging from the current odds of the next team predicted by the outside world, the Spurs have surpassed the Timberwolves and Rockets and ranked first.

On the other hand, the Suns have completed the appointment of a new head coach today, and former Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott has officially taken over. It is reported that in the process of selecting a head coach for the Suns, the core of the team, Devin Booker, participated in the decision-making process. According to multiple media reports, Suns owner Matt Ishbia will personally lead the Durant trade and strive to complete the operation before this year's draft, which also means that Durant's departure this summer is almost certain.

For the San Antonio Spurs, this trade may be an important step for them to return to the playoffs and even win the championship. With Wen Banyama gradually realizing his talent and the overall structure of the team gradually taking shape, Durant's joining will undoubtedly inject strong combat power into the team and also help accelerate the maturity of the young lineup.

The Charlotte Hornets completed the asset accumulation as the " transfer party " in this transaction . Sohan is a forward player with defensive potential and room for growth. The three second-round picks also provide the team with more options for future trades or draft operations, which is in line with its reconstruction strategy.

The Suns lost Durant, their star player, but they received three different players and a mid-round pick in this trade, which will significantly improve the depth and flexibility of the team. After Ott took office, the Suns will obviously undergo a certain degree of reconstruction and rejuvenation.
