Kevin Durant delivered impressive performances for the Phoenix Suns during the 2024-25 NBA season. Despite his dazzling performances, the Suns faced a tough road and ultimately failed to clinch a playoff position, landing in the 11th spot in the Western Conference with 36 wins against 46 losses. Following this letdown, chatter started swirling regarding a possible trade involving Durant, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation.
The excitement surrounding Kevin Durant is reaching a fever pitch. Rumour has it that the Minnesota Timberwolves are eyeing Durant for a potential acquisition. However, it seems that the Timberwolves are taking a firm stance on retaining a crucial young asset in any trade discussions involving Durant.
“The Wolves are not including Jaden McDaniels in any KD trade talks, per team sources, which means that one of Randle or Rudy Gobert would have to be the primary salary eater in the deal. Randle has a $31 million player option for next season. Gobert makes $35 million. Including either one of them not only helps in the salary matching portion of the deal, but both veterans would be reliable contributors who could help Devin Booker and the Suns compete now,” Via Sam Amick, Jon Krawczynski, and Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
