June 17th News Earlier, well-known sports journalist Brian Windhorst (Wen Pang) revealed that the Timberwolves are currently the most active team in the Kevin Durant trade negotiations, but the Suns have not received an offer that they are excited about so far.

Brian Windhorst pointed out in the "Get Up" program: "The Timberwolves had strongly tried to get Durant from the Suns before the February trade deadline, and planned to partner with Anthony Edwards, and this effort started again in the offseason."

He also mentioned, "The Raptors and the Clippers are also secretly paying attention to Durant's trading progress. Among them, the Raptors proposed the ninth pick in this year's draft with different players, trying to impress the Suns through a variety of plans."

Last week, ESPN reported that Durant's teams tend to renew their contract include the Spurs, Rockets and Heat. But Brian Windhorst said the three teams "have not made any offer to excite the Suns so far." The Suns are more focused on getting the most out of Durant’s trade than accommodate his will.

According to well-known sports reporter Jake Fischer, the Raptors are willing to send RJ Barrett or Emmanuel Quickley to upgrade the lineup. At the same time, many sources in the league believe that if Durant is exchanged for, the Raptors may also add Jakob Poeltl to the transaction package.

Fisher also said: "The Suns are reportedly looking for a center who can start next season, and this Durant deal may be their best chance to get an ideal candidate. The Suns hope to get Clippers center Ivica Zubac, but the Clippers regard it as a non-sale product. However, the Clippers still have two future first-round picks and some sign-up swap rights, and can be traded with Norman Powell, Boyan Bogdanovic and Derek Jones and others."
