The Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant are seemingly headed toward a divorce.
Brian Windhorst of ESPN claimed that Durant knows the team tried to trade him at the deadline and that situation isn’t going to change in the offseason.
Durant has talked about his desire to retire with the Suns, but he also understands that this is a business.
With that in mind, Windhorst revealed that the Minnesota Timberwolves could be a team to look out for when the trade market opens (via NBA Central).

The Timberwolves moved on from Karl-Anthony Towns, but that move did little to help them.
Julius Randle hasn’t been as good as they expected, and Rudy Gobert has always been a non-factor on offense.
Anthony Edwards has openly admitted that Durant is his favorite player, and the two have seemingly developed a bit of a bond over the past year or so.
The Timberwolves were a couple of wins away from the NBA Finals just last season, and they have pretty much the same core of players from that run.
The Phoenix Suns desperately need to get younger and cheaper.
They’re not going to find many players as good as Durant, but they could likely live with the idea of trading him to get multiple valuable pieces to build around Devin Booker.
Durant will now officially be a part of three of the most disappointing teams in NBA history, with only his tenure with the Golden State Warriors finally leading him to the ultimate glory.
