The Phoenix Suns made headlines during the NBA trade deadline with talks of potentially sending Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors. However, another team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, also expressed interest in acquiring the star forward. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst hinted that the Timberwolves might revisit these talks in the offseason, especially considering the connection between Durant and young star Anthony Edwards.
While a deal was never close to being finalized due to salary cap constraints, Durant himself expressed reservations about a midseason trade affecting his new team’s competitiveness. With the offseason approaching, the Timberwolves could be looking to pair Durant with Edwards, following the successful model of veteran-young star duos like LeBron James and Luka Doncic.
The potential trade could significantly impact the Suns, with Durant likely dictating the terms based on his willingness to extend with a new team. If Durant decides to commit to a small-market team like Minnesota, it could change the landscape of the NBA. Durant is currently putting up impressive numbers this season, ranking fifth in the league in points per game.
As fans speculate on the future of Durant and a possible move to the Timberwolves, all eyes will be on the upcoming offseason to see how this situation unfolds. Only time will tell if Durant’s relationship with Edwards will be enough to sway the two-time NBA champion to join forces with the emerging star in Minnesota.
