Durant s next home has been reduced to two teams! Who can win the Rockets Timberwolves? The answer is revealed as soon as next week

June 13. According to NBA insider Ary, the potential next player in Durant's battle has been reduced to two teams - the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets. Ary's previous reports are quite accurate, so his revelations should not be groundless. Previously, a reporter mentioned that the possibility of the Spurs and the Knicks getting Durant is declining, and the Heat are unwilling to send out any of Adebayo, Herro and Verde, and it is expected that it will be difficult to reach a deal. The Timberwolves pursued Durant at the trade deadline, but failed at that time. Now as Randle, Reed and Alexander Walker’s contracts expire, they will release some of their cap space.

As for the Rockets, they have long been regarded as Durant's favorite next home, not only because the team has deep asset reserves, but also because the Suns hope to regain the draft picks they gave to get Durant. Ary also said that the deal may be finalized as soon as next week, and NBA insiders generally expect an agreement to be reached by then. There is a clear reason behind the two teams rushing to chase Durant. The Timberwolves need to find a reliable partner for Edwards, but in fact, their lineup is too young to urgently need a star with real experience in championships.

In any potential deal, the Timberwolves may have to send out Dillingham (although they are reluctant), and Gobert could be a bargaining chip – his huge contract can help the Suns enter the rebuilding period to digest their cap space. The Rockets also need the experience Durant brings, and they can provide a more attractive trading plan: First, the Rockets can return the draft picks sent by the Suns; more importantly, they have young players needed during the Suns' reconstruction period, such as Jaylen Green and Jabbarry Smith Jr., who may become the bargaining chips that the Rockets consider when making official quotes. It has been reported that both players may include them in any potential deal.

Now, Durant's trading farce seems to be coming to an end, and the answer can be revealed as soon as next week.
