Win-win! Durant joins hands with Andy Lau! Timberwolves, you are finally willing to admit that "9 to 1" is a mistake

Durant's trade rumors have been one of the hottest topics in the offseason, and with the arrival of the NBA draft, it is widely believed that trades involving Durant will happen soon. Today, according to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, Kevin Durant is expected to be traded by the Suns next week. It is reported that the Suns are currently negotiating with multiple teams, and the deal is likely to be reached before the end of the finals.

In addition, the US media has released more latest news about the Durant transaction. According to Draftstack reporter Ary, several sources in the league revealed that the Timberwolves are pursuing Durant with all their might. Aey said Gobert is likely to be part of the Durant deal and was sent to Phoenix, who meets the target player conditions of the Suns' new general manager Brian Gregory. Some people in Durant's inner circle believe that Minnesota (the Timberwolves) is a reasonable ending point. This news from

Ary should be relatively reliable. The Suns have stated that the team's first task during the offseason is to seek to upgrade the center position, and they will give priority to centers in any KD trading negotiations. Previously, the Clippers were forced to get out because they were unwilling to leave Zubac.

Win-win! The Sun and Timberwolves deal is the most reasonable. The Timberwolves have long wanted to get rid of Gobert's contract. Since the 9-for-1 deal came to Gobert, the Timberwolves have become a joke in the league. The more they want to prove that they are right, the more counterproductive they are. Especially in the playoffs, Gobert's shortcomings of not being offensive and unable to switch defenses were infinitely magnified. They wanted to send Gobert away to reduce taxes last offseason, but no team was willing to take over, so they had to send down Towns away. The Suns and the Timberwolves each got what they wanted. The Timberwolves could not only get rid of Gobert's contract and get Durant, but the Suns also got what they wanted and found Booker a top center with three-time All-Stars and four-time best defensive player.

In addition, from the perspective of adaptability, the Timberwolves is the best destination for Adu. Currently, the five most fanatical teams in the trading market are: the Spurs, Timberwolves, Knicks, Rockets, and Heat.

First of all, the Timberwolves are the most competitive among these teams. They eliminated the favorites to win the championship in the playoffs and lost to the Thunder. The Timberwolves may be the team that "only Durant can win the championship." In addition, Edwards' only idol admitted is Durant. The chemical reaction they established during the training camp of the US men's basketball team is obvious to all. The bond is still fermenting. In addition to outstanding football skills, both of them are pure ball fools and don't care about anything except playing. Andy Lau is still evolving now. If Durant is by his side, he may have transformed into a superstar and have the opportunity to become the face of the league.
