Durant s whereabouts this summer are a mystery: Timberwolves lead, Knicks and Raptors are eyeing

Basketball

The Suns' offseason storm is quietly brewing. Several well-known NBA reporters recently revealed that the Suns are likely to put star Kevin Durant on the trading shelves again this summer.

Timberwolves: Odds lead, ready to go

At present, the Timberwolves are regarded as Durant's most popular next home. According to reporter Jack Fisher, the key to whether the Timberwolves can push the big deal depends on whether the team forward Julius Randle will execute its $30.9 million player option next season - Randle's salary is the key puzzle in the deal to match Durant's contract. The Timberwolves have a long history of interest in Durant and have been chasing them all the way before the end of this year's trading date. What is more worth noting is that Timberwolves core Anthony Edwards has always regarded Durant as his idol, and the two have had successful cooperation experience during their time in the US national team.

New York Knicks: Towns becomes a potential target

Another big news comes from journalist Chris Davis. According to him, the Suns are exploring the possibility of sending Durant to the New York Knicks. The Suns are very interested in Karl Anthony Towns, the Knicks star insider. The key factor that led to this idea was Towns' deep personal friendship with Suns core Devin Booker - the two had a close relationship in college.

Toronto Raptors: Join the Star Wars

In addition, reporter Evan Sidri revealed that the Toronto Raptors are also preparing to pursue a top star in the trading market. The Raptors hold high-quality assets such as future draft picks and may target top stars this summer, including Durant.

Looking at Durant's brilliant career, he has played for four teams, namely the Thunder, the Warriors, the Nets and the Suns. During his time with the Warriors, he won the championship trophy twice. Now, 36-year-old Durant is once again at the crossroads of his career. Where exactly is the next stop for this super scorer? In the coming weeks, as the dust settles for the Suns' new coach, the trading trends around Durant will gradually become clear. The alliance pattern may be rewritten again due to his decision.
