While Kevin Durant reportedly prefers to play elsewhere, the Phoenix Suns haven't given up hope he would accept a trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On Monday, ESPN confirmed that possibility, reporting that the Suns have focused on negotiations with three teams: the Rockets, Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are obviously not one of the three teams on that list. According to Shams Charania, "Durant has no desire to be in Minnesota with the Timberwolves."

"Rudy Gobert is believed to be the best player offered to the Suns thus far in Kevin Durant trade talks," Sidery wrote on X Monday. "The Timberwolves’ offer is built around Gobert [and] Donte DiVincenzo, two win-now veterans. Even though Durant doesn’t want to be there, Minnesota might be the current favorite."
