As the NBA offseason talks heat up, so does the speculation surrounding Kevin Durant’s future—and this time, fans are reading more than just reports. During a recent live segment, NBA insider Shams Charania became the center of attention not for what he said, but for what he didn’t say—specifically, his body language when Iman Shumpert floated the San Antonio Spurs as Durant’s ideal landing spot.
The exchange happened during a discussion on Hoop Streams, where Shumpert suggested that San Antonio would be the perfect fit for Durant, citing the Spurs’ elite medical staff, organizational stability, and the opportunity to mentor Victor Wembanyama. As Shumpert made his case, cameras caught Shams leaning back, smirking slightly, and offering a knowing glance that fans immediately latched onto.

Within minutes, NBA Twitter was ablaze. One fan joked,
“When your friend guesses the ending of the movie and you’re trying not to spoil it,” while another declared, “That look said everything. KD to the Spurs confirmed.”
While Charania didn’t confirm anything outright, his reaction added fuel to existing reports. According to The Athletic, Durant has listed the Spurs among his preferred trade destinations, alongside teams like the Heat, Rockets, and Timberwolves. However, insiders also note that the Suns haven’t been impressed with the offers on the table and are still holding out hope Durant might warm to other options.
Adding to the intrigue, Bill Simmons recently claimed that a Durant-to-Spurs deal might already be finalized behind the scenes, with an announcement expected around the NBA Draft.
This isn’t the first time fans have tried to decode Shams’ expressions. As one user put it,
“Shams doesn’t leak—he leans.”
Whether his smirk was a slip or a savvy deflection, it’s clear that fans believe he knows more than he’s letting on.
Even Shumpert joined the fun, later posting on X:
“I know what Shams wanted to say 😂👀 @ShamsCharania gone be a great summer.”
