Durant s battle changes suddenly, and the Timberwolves popularity soars as the Rockets!

Brothers, Durant's transfer drama has a new plot! Famous reporter Zach Lovie broke the news: the Minnesota Timberwolves' popularity is rising in the competition for KD's potential next home! According to Love, if we rank the "hottest next-tier list" now, the Timberwolves have already reached the first place, and the Houston Rockets, which were previously very popular, can only temporarily rank second.

The wind direction becomes fast enough, right? Do you remember the Suns’ revelations from Duane Rankin two days ago? He said the Sun is likely to send Durant away in the next few days and as early as next week! Moreover, Rankin's source also named it, saying that the Rockets are one of KD's ideal landing sites.

But don't forget the tips from The Athletic's Sharania, the core negotiators he circled are the Rockets, Heat and Timberwolves. Now that Lovi said this, I feel that the Timberwolves are coming from behind and are in a bit of momentum!

As for the contract, salary expert Bobby Marks has figured it out for us: KD's salary next season is as high as 54.71 million US dollars, and the contract is only the last year left. Due to the "38-year-old rule", he can only renew his contract for 2 years at most.

If traded: the new owner can give KD a super maximum salary of 111 million yuan for two years.

If you stay in the sun: you can get more points and you can sign up to 124 million for 2 years.

So, this is not only about robbing people, but also about how much money to spend to retain people in the future! The Timberwolves made the first place this time. Is there really a chance or a smoke bomb? Can the Rockets come from behind? What about the Heat? I feel like the trading market will be in an earthquake in the next few days! Let's wait and see where this drama "Where is Durant?" will end in the end!
