OKLAHOMA CITY — This just in: The Spurs are interested in making a run at the hottest free agent on the market this summer. This is not exactly breaking news. In fact, it sounds like old news.
The Spurs, after all, made a successful pitch to LaMarcus Aldridge last July.
This year’s target would be Kevin Durant, who for now is playing for Oklahoma City and against the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
No doubt discussions have already begun among the Spurs’ brain trust about the salary cap machinations that must be made to make Durant — or any other high-profile free agent — a maximum contract offer.
