What we know about the Spurs-Suns Durant talks

State of play: The NBA is entering peak chaos season, when a blockbuster trade can drop at any moment. As speculation swirls, more details are surfacing about the Spurs-Suns talks.

• The Ringer's Kirk Goldsberry reports that scenarios involving Castle or the No. 2 pick are "not going very well."
• ESPN says other teams trying to pry the pick from the Spurs — which many expect to be used on Rutgers standout Dylan Harper — have also been shut down.

Reality check: Durant, a two-time Finals MVP, will be 37 at the start of the season, but he's still averaging 26.6 points per game.

• The Miami Heat and Houston Rockets are also on Durant's list of preferred teams.

What they're saying: Spurfect blog editor Carolina Teague tells Axios Durant could boost the Spurs' rebuild — just not if it costs Castle, whom she calls "intangible."

• "Durant's presence could significantly impact their development and bring immediate credibility to the locker room. San Antonio's strong organizational culture and coaching stability make it one of the few environments equipped to support and integrate a veteran of his caliber," Teague says.

Fans like Dylan Gonzales say they're all in on K.D. — if the price is right.

• "Sure he's older [...] but having another guy I used to fear in the playoffs on our own team would be incredible," he says.

What we're watching: If the Spurs give up their No. 2 pick, a deal would need to be finalized before or during the June 25 draft.
