After trying to land him midseason, Minnesota is “expected to pursue a Durant trade again this offseason” as they search for another “alpha” next to Anthony Edwards, according to a report from Hoops Wire . Durant, who turns 37 before next season, is “interested in playing for the Timberwolves,” the outlet added.

With the Timberwolves right on the cusp of winning the West, the team is said to be eyeing a trade for “an alpha” to play alongside Ant-Man. According to Sam Amico’s Hoops Wire, Minnesota is “expected to pursue” Kevin Durant in the offseason.

The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a disappointing end to the 2024-25 season earlier this week in the form of a 124-94 blowout loss in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals to the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, things are still on the up-and-up for the franchise.

In the most obvious prediction, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch gave the Thunder a backhanded compliment for their lockdown defense on Anthony Edwards in Game 4. He was quiet with 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting in a gutpunch loss that plummets their odds of an all-time upset.
