Durant and Anthony Edwards would be a lethal duo. If the Timberwolves were able to pull off a trade, they would instantly take a jump up in the NBA Finals contender rankings. Foll

There's an expectation Phoenix will trade Durant this summer and Minnesota will want to be part of that conversation.

The Minnesota Timberwolves remain connected to Kevin Durant and a trade this summer is something Brian Windhorst sees as possible.

The Phoenix Suns move into the final stretch of regular season games with uncertainy that extends from their postseason fate to how the roster will look over the course of the summer, most notably with eyes on the status of Kevin Durant.
