Timberwolves plotted a three-party deal to pull the Eastern Conference team to chase Durant

According to well-known journalist Jake Fischer, the Timberwolves recently contacted at least one Eastern team to bring them together to help and facilitate a deal with the Suns about Durant. It is reported that in fact, on the previous trading deadline, the Timberwolves were more interested in Durant than everyone thought.

It is not clear whether the Timberwolves will really restart Durant's trading negotiations this summer, but if they really want to negotiate, they will probably have to wait until the situation of Antetokounmpo is decided.

In addition, the whereabouts of several players on the team are also worth paying attention to:

Alexander Walker will become a free agent in the summer (unrestricted), and the Magic may be interested in him.

Naz Reed and Randall have player options, and Reed is generally expected to jump out of the contract to test the waters of the free market.

team, President Tim Connery is expected to discuss contract renewal, while the Timberwolves' core idea remains unchanged - continuing to build a lineup around Edwards.

Durant's performance in the Suns this season is still eye-catching, playing 62 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, plus 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks.
