Timberwolves Soha Gobert + Divincenzo! The Durant deal has been decided?

4:15am, 20 June 2025【Basketball】

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Timberwolves are still actively advancing deal negotiations with Phoenix Suns. Although Durant has made it clear that he is unwilling to join the Timberwolves, he can't stand the others (Timberwolves) giving too much!

Timberwolves: "I want to get someone from you."

Sun: "A first round starts, tell me, who do you want?"!

Timberwolves: "Durant with the title of "Death".

Sun: "Who! Durant? This person is my beloved relative and brother! Besides, he also made it clear that he didn't want to go to your place, so he had to add more money!"

Then the Timberwolve waved his hand, and Gobert + Divincenzo + Dillingham packed it directly on the shelves!

Faced with such temptation, the Suns management obviously can no longer sit still. First of all, the Timberwolves gave a quotation plan to hit the Suns' pain points. Gobert was not high on the line, but he still had his downline. His inside rebound dominance is unquestionable, Divinchenzo's three-pointers (40% three-point shooting percentage last season, averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game) and Dillingham's youthful potential!

Even Xu Jingyu of Yu said sports, she publicly took the team to the Timberwolves and said Durant joined 100%!

It is indeed according to Durant's current wishes, it is likely that he will choose the Heat, the Rockets, and the Spurs, but the psychology of the three is different. The Rockets are waiting and watching, the Spurs want to buy at the bottom. The Heat have just sent away 36-year-old Butler, and it is impossible to sign Durant who is bigger than him again!

So no matter whether it is the team's adaptability or sincerity, the Timberwolves directly lead the other three companies and become the team that is most likely to reach a deal with the Suns!

Moreover, the Timberwolves also urgently need to get rid of Gobert's big contract (110 million in 3 years). Even if there is a risk in trading Durant, even if the Durant contract is not renewed at that time, the transaction will inevitably be reached!

Xu Jingyu also said: "He will be 38 years old next season. Which team will spoil him? He thinks he is Curry to the Warriors or James to the Lakers? At that time, do you love to leave or not and dare to threaten the team at the age of 38? Well, double happiness is here, goodbye!"

may not be very nice, but the evaluation is indeed quite pertinent. After 18 seasons, he can still give out luxurious data of average 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, but he is not like Curry, one by one, and he has no commercial value of James. Although he is the "big and big king" of the league, his "rootless" attribute is destined not to be able to enjoy it in the league!

However, the Timberwolves' total salary is far higher than the second rich line. Before the new season officially begins on July 1, they cannot match Durant's annual salary of up to 54.7 million yuan by packing multiple players (such as Gobert + Divincenzo)!

The Suns want to complete the transaction before the draft (June 20). It is a bit difficult for the Timberwolves! Or negotiate first and then trade, or you can only wait! As for whether Durant will airborne Minnesota in the end, it depends on whether the other quotation plans are attractive to the Suns
