The direction of the Minnesota Timberwolves this season could lead to an interesting offseason. They've turned the tables and may still be missing a piece of the puzzle.

The missing piece of the puzzle against Minnesota could come in the offseason.

ESPN's Shams Charania was a guest on The Pat McAfee Show, releasing some exciting news for Timberwolves fans. Some news that could provide Minnesota with extra firepower next season.

"Kevin Durant is definitely going to be traded in the offseason...... Things aren't going well for this Suns team...... At the trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs all share interests," Charania said.

由於菲尼克斯太陽隊的這位超級巨星仍然是NBA最高產的得分手之一，很多球隊可能會有興趣得到他。杜蘭特在2月份有興趣加入明尼蘇達，在夏天他仍然會有類似的興趣。

One reason Minnesota, a 15-time NBA All-Star, is so appealing is his relationship with guard Anthony Edwards. Edwards stepped into the league and Durant has always been a player that Edwards admires. He has a say in where he's traded, and it's hard to imagine he won't mention the Timberwolves.

After a disappointing start to the season, Minnesota is already showing signs of returning to last season's form. A team that made it to the Western Conference Finals last season hasn't lived up to expectations this year. With the rest of the league getting better, it feels like the Timberwolves are still missing a scorer.

Edwards can pass the ball to the wing scorer in attack, which is the perfect addition to Minnesota's next step. Maybe the Suns and Timberwolves will renegotiate in the offseason, and both sides are interested.
