It was revealed that Durant's next home was reduced to two teams! Who will win the Rocket Timberwolves? The answer will be revealed as soon as next week

June 13, Beijing time. According to NBA insider Ary, the potential next home for Durant has been whittled down to two — the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets. Ary's previous reports were quite accurate, so his revelations should not be groundless. It has also been mentioned that the chances of the Spurs and Knicks getting Durant are declining, and the Heat's reluctance to send any of Bam Adebayo, Herro and Weil is expected to be difficult to make a deal.

The Timberwolves pursued Durant at the trade deadline but were unsuccessful at the time. Now, with Randle, Reed and Alexander Walker out of contract, they will free up some of their salary space.

As for the Rockets, they have long been seen as Durant's favorites, not only because of the team's deep asset reserves, but also because the Suns want to recoup the draft pick they gave away to get Durant. Ary also said that the deal could be finalized as soon as next week, and NBA insiders widely expect a deal to be reached by then.

There's a clear reason behind the two teams chasing Durant. The Timberwolves need to find a reliable partner for Edwards, but in fact, their roster is too young and in desperate need of a star with real championship experience.

The Timberwolves could have to send Dillingham (though they were reluctant) in any potential trade, and Gobert could also be a bargaining chip — his massive contract could help the Suns as they enter a rebuilding phase absorb salary space.

The Rockets also need the experience that Durant brings to the table, and they can offer a more attractive trade package: first, the Rockets can return the draft picks that the Suns have previously sent; What's more, they have the young players the Suns need during their rebuild, such as Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr., who could be the chips the Rockets consider when making a formal offer. It was previously reported that both players could be included in any potential deal.

Now, Durant's trade drama seems to be coming to an end, and the answer could be revealed as soon as next week.
