Durant joins if he can t beat him again? The Timberwolves become the most attractive next player and are expected to join forces with Huazi to win the championship

On May 28, the NBA playoffs continued. Earlier today, according to famous reporter Evan Sidery, the Timberwolves have become Durant's most attractive next home, and the two sides had negotiations early this year, and the Timberwolves have the capital to pursue Durant.

In the 2024-25 season, Durant made a total of 62 appearances, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 52.7%, shooting percentage of 3-pointers and 83.9% free throw percentage, but the Suns did not even get a playoff qualification. In the middle of the season, Durant was put on the shelves by the Suns, but no deal was finally reached, and he will be sold by the Suns again this summer.

Earlier today, Forbes sports reporter Evan Sidery talked about Durant's prospects on social media: "As the Western Conference Final progresses, the Timberwolves have become the next one that is more attractive to Durant." At the same time, Evan Sidery also said: "The Timberwolves quietly actively chased Durant as early as February this year, and they do have the assets and bargaining chips to take action again this summer."

The US media then simulated the Timberwolves' starting lineup after getting Durant: "Conley, Edwards, McDaniels, Durant, Gobert!" There is no doubt that this is a very competitive starting lineup.

It should be noted that Timberwolves defender Anthony Edwards once said that Durant is his favorite player, and the two have also trained together in the summer, and Edwards has expressed respect for Durant many times in public. But at the same time, if Durant joins the Timberwolves, he will be in the controversy of "joining if you can't beat it." In the first round of the playoffs last year, Durant's Suns met the Timberwolves, and Edwards eventually led the Timberwolves to sweep the Suns 4-0.
