The Timberwolves undeniably had significant interest in Kevin Durant in February when Phoenix unexpectedly made him available. Question is: Have they identified greater needs in the wake of a five-game playoff exit to Oklahoma City in the West finals? -via marcstein.substack.com / May 31, 2025
Fullcourtpass: Brian Windhorst on the Timberwolves and Kevin Durant “It became clear to me in talking to the parties involved just how serious the Wolves were about trying to trade for Kevin Durant at the trade deadline.” (Via Hoop Collective) -via Twitter / May 30, 2025
ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst said Wednesday that Durant is a near-lock to be traded by the Suns this offseason. “Kevin Durant, I’m like 98 percent sure he’s not going to be a Sun next year,” Windhorst said of the veteran. “How it works out? I’m about one percent sure. There’s going to be a number of teams interested, but some of it is going to depend on whether Durant is a player they keep on a one-year contract or they want to give him a contract extension, which I suspect he’s going to want.” -via New York Post / May 30, 2025
