Will the Timberwolves be Durant s next potential team? The forward upgrade is imperative, and the championship is aimed at

Now looking at the two teams that finally successfully broke through the division final this season, once again, the Phoenix Suns' idea of ​​building a team has a big problem -

It turns out that winning a team is not something that can be achieved overnight by a large number of stars!

And a team finally won the championship. The team's reasonable lineup configuration, orderly offensive and defensive levels, offensive and defensive balance, coach planning, reasonable rotation, and even a neat and healthy team are also crucial!

If a team blindly piles up stars and ignores the fact that the bench is weak, and focuses on offense and ignores the defensive end to restrict opponents, then this team is destined to have a hurry to play in the playoffs...

Looking at the Suns this season, even if the team spends money wildly to pay high luxury taxes, it is the result of missing the playoffs in the end. Is this really a coincidence?

This season, the total salary of the Suns reached US$223 million, the amount of luxury tax was US$198 million, and the total expenditure was US$421 million. What's more, by the time the war in the new season rekindled, the Suns' total salary in a single season will reach 233 million yuan, plus the total luxury tax of 277 million yuan, the Suns' total expenditure in one season will reach 510 million yuan.

Next season, the Suns' luxury tax alone will surpass the Celtics to rank first in the league.

But the problem is that the Suns still don't see any hope of winning the championship next season. We can only sigh at the Suns where the way out is...

This season, the Suns paid a huge luxury tax but missed the playoffs. The two teams that did not pay the luxury tax both played against the finals. It is extremely ironic, right?

The Thunder's salary expenditure this season is only US$165 million, ranking 25th in the league. On the one hand, the team enjoys multiple rookie contract dividends, and on the other hand, the star Alexander has not triggered a super maximum salary, so wage expenditure has not triggered a luxury tax.

The Pacers' total salary this season is $169 million, which is also considerable.

Pacers are slightly higher than the Thunder. Although Halliburton and Siakam are receiving maximum salary contracts, the cost-effectiveness of other players' contracts is incredibly low. Nemhard's annual salary this season is only US$2.02 million, and Mathering is also during the rookie contract bonus period...

It is worth mentioning that this season is the first time that both sides do not have to pay luxury tax on the finals stage since the league established the luxury tax system.

In contrast, it can be predicted that the Suns will definitely make big moves in the offseason, right?

Book is undoubtedly a Sun's non-selling product. Bill holds the veto power of the transaction. At this time, Durant is the only person with extremely high transaction value.

In other words, it is not surprising that Suns management put Durant on the shelves in the offseason for timely stop loss considerations!

Looking at Durant's career, this "God of Death" has been to the Thunder, Warriors, Nets and Suns, and has only won the championship in the Warriors.

But don't forget that Durant joined a 73-win team back then, and the championship was within reach.

Where will Durant, who is now 36 years old, be next stop?

If Durant's next odds are a fierce horse racing game, then the Minnesota Timberwolves are undoubtedly in a strong momentum and are in a great position to ride the ball.

Now the Timberwolves lead Durant's next odds list with +250, with the Rockets +300 closely behind, while the Mavericks pursued them with +750, with little hope but hope finally.

The reason why Durant is related to the Timberwolves is that the Timberwolves are defeated again this year.

Even though the Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Final for two consecutive years, the team's forward strength is worrying, and they are not able to catch up when facing the opponent's top forward line, and upgrading the forward strength is imperative.

The Timberwolves are only one decisive upgrade from the championship, and Durant is the team's best answer. If the Timberwolves want to successfully promote this big deal, Randall's $30.9 million player option is the premise, whose salary will become an important bargaining chip in trading Durant...
