The Phoenix Suns are widely expected to trade superstar Kevin Durant this offseason and the Minnesota Timberwolves are likely to come calling. Again.
After a failed attempt to acquire Durant at the NBA trade deadline in February, Ashish Mathur of Hoops Wire reports that the Timberwolves are expected to reignite those trade talks.
Mathur adds that Minnesota feels they need one more “alpha” to pair with Anthony Edwards to win it all, and they believe Durant is that missing piece despite him picking up just one postseason series win since 2023.
The pairing would make sense given the close relationship between Durant and Edwards, who has repeatedly said the former is his favorite player of all time. They were also teammates on Team USA last summer, so the familiarity and continuity are there.
