Kevin Durant is scheduled to play the Spurs at his former NCAA stadium in Austin.

There’s been this “trade rumor” about Kevin Durant, which is more speculative than anything else, but what have those conversations been like with KD? Obviously he’s available for a one-year extension, and he’s just been told he wants to be here, and the sentiment is similar, but what have those conversations been like? Josh Bartelstein: So I talk to KD all the time about his life, the Olympics, we have a lot of FaceTime audio from Eastern Paris, and the coolest thing for me is talking to Kevin Durant about basketball. Again, I’m pinching myself. But I think everyone’s head is in the right place. He loves it here. We’re always talking with his partner, Rich Kleiman, about the vision and what we’re building, and everyone’s really happy, and I think we’re going to have a really, really good year. And Kevin is involved in every discussion about the vision of the team, everything we do on and off the court. So the fact that we have every conversation, there’s equity built into it. If you do that, everything else will take care of itself. -via gopnix.com / August 14, 2024
