Refusing to join the Wolves! "Where Are You Going Durant" is staged version 2.0, which is really messy

4:06pm, 27 June 2025【Basketball】

In the recent NBA trading market, rumors have emerged one after another, and the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Xiaoshuai's trading storm. According to senior American sports journalist Moore, the Minnesota Timberwolves had carefully planned a three-party transaction plan involving the Phoenix Suns and the Brooklyn Nets, aiming to attract Durant, the superstar. However, Durant directly rejected the proposal and made it clear that he had no intention of setting foot on Minnesota's land.

This is not the first time that Durant has played such a critical role in the trading market. Long before this year's trading deadline, the negotiations between the Suns and the Golden State Warriors were declared a miscarriage due to a refusal from Durant. This series of events undoubtedly makes the transaction veto in Durant's hands look particularly precious, and it can be called a "real" transaction veto. By contrast, although the Wizards' Bill also nominally possesses such power, he has never even had the opportunity to exercise this privilege due to the lack of enthusiastic market pursuit.

According to further disclosure by well-known journalist Spears, as a loyal fan of Durant, Timberwolves' rising star Edwards did not participate in the recruitment of Durant. He devoted all his energy to daily training and devoted himself to improving his basketball skills in order to shine more dazzling light on the future court.

Now, rumors about Durant's transaction are becoming more and more confusing, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the world. First, it was rumored that the Memphis Grizzlies joined Durant's battle after successfully handling Bain's trade and freeing up enough salary space; but then someone came forward to refute, saying that the Grizzlies had no substantial interest in Durant. The Toronto Raptors emerged like a dark horse and became the new face among Durant's suitors. They even proposed a creative three-party trading plan: the Suns will get Quickley and the first-round ninth pick this year, while sending Barrett to a third-party team in return for more draft picks.

"Where will Durant go?" This question has become the hottest puzzle in the NBA league. The current trading situation is complex and confusing, making it difficult to see the future direction. Perhaps, the answer to this mystery will gradually surface until around the draft date from June 26 to 27. After all, trading activities tend to reach an unprecedented climax during that time period.

It is worth mentioning that Durant has the option of renewing his contract early this summer. If he chooses to stay with the Suns, he will be able to obtain a two-year contract with a total value of up to $124 million; if he decides to join a new team, he will be able to obtain a two-year contract with a total value of $111 million. From this point of view, whether Durant is eventually traded or not, he hopes to get an early renewal contract, adding "insurance" to his career.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Durant is about to celebrate his 37th birthday. Although he still maintains his extraordinary basketball skills, time is ruthless and no one can resist the erosion of time. Even the most dazzling basketball superstar is hard to escape the ruthless embellishment of time. His figure slowly retreats on the league stage, which undoubtedly becomes an inevitable law of nature.

In this changing and uncertain player trading field, we can only express our deepest wishes to Durant with sincerity. May he be able to make the most in line with his vision and ideal choice in the subsequent chapters of his basketball career with his profound wisdom and fearless courage, and continue to engrave his unique glorious legend in the vast history of basketball, so that every drop of sweat and every jump will become an immortal chapter passed down by future generations.
