Timberwolves are seeking to trade a leader and are expected to pursue Durant again

That's the thing, according to famous reporter Sam Amico, the Timberwolves are looking to trade a leader and are expected to pursue Durant again. The news of

was also confirmed by another authoritative journalist, Vincenster. According to the sources he received, the Timberwolves became increasingly aware that they needed Durant and they would pursue him very seriously.

such potential collaboration is also within expectations. Both sides need each other from the Timberwolves' current situation and Durant's need to win the championship.

First of all, the Timberwolves were completely beaten by the Thunder in the just-concluded Western Conference Finals. Whether it was the loss to the Mavericks 1-4 last year or the 1-4 this year, the gap in the team was completely exposed.

Edwards is still a certain distance from the superstars. The last two games of the Western Conference Finals were defeated. G4 scored 5 of 13 shots in the game and G5 scored 19 points in 18 shots in the game. The head-on battle between Alexander was completely defeated.

Another core Randall made progress in the playoffs this year, his condition was still extremely unstable. G2 made 2 of 11 shots in the Western Conference Finals and scored only 5 points in 1 of 7 shots in the game, and G4 made only 5 points in the game, and his condition fluctuated greatly.

The role players of the team in this year's playoffs have done a great job. Being able to enter the Western Conference Finals while saving money to throw away Towns is already a big surprise. The real difference between the collision with the Thunder lies in the star level. If the Timberwolves want to seize the opportunity to attack the championship, introducing a super-level player is the best choice.

Looking at Durant's situation, we all know that his trading is inevitable. You can also imagine Durant's market trend this summer. As the top end point in the league, any team with conditions will regard it as its goal.

The potential next players currently disclosed include the Rockets, Spurs, 76ers, etc., but it may be far more than the real entry into July 1. Durant's style is suitable for any championship team.

Adu is still in good shape this season, with averaging 36.5 minutes per game, able to hand in 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, shooting percentage 52.7%+43%, and real shooting percentage 64.2%.

Especially in the first half of the season, Adu almost performed at the MVP level, but with the decline in physical fitness brought about by injuries and the deepening of the season, Adu's influence gradually weakened, and the team eventually missed the play-offs.

As a comparison, the data of Adu on the past two sides are as follows...

—22-23 season, 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 23-24 season, 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5 assists,

This season, Adu's condition has slightly declined, but his average score is sixth in the league, and he has guaranteed both output and efficiency. As long as he can play, Adu is a super-powered player.

It can be imagined that if you put such Durant in some championship-winning teams, such as the Timberwolves and the Knicks, the team's level improvement will be immediate. In the past, the Warriors have had successful cases, and Durant can become the team's biggest killer in the playoffs.

The chips that the Timberwolves can provide are roughly McDaners + Alexander Walker + first-round pick as the main body. Such chips have no advantages but are enough. Adu's own wishes are very critical.

Leaving the Suns is an inevitable option. It depends on which next player Durant will choose in the end. This is Adu's last chance to win the championship. I hope he will choose carefully.
