In the weeks before his trade to the Houston Rockets, there were rumors about Kevin Durant joining the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The idea of Durant playing alongside Anthony Edwards was tantalizing to fans, but it wasn’t meant to be.

We now know the inside information about what the T-Wolves offered the Suns for Durant.

According to John Gambadoro, via Legion Hoops, the Wolves offered Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo, Rob Dillingham, or Terrence Shannon Jr. along with the No. 17 pick.

We don’t know why, but the Suns turned them down.

This is an interesting package, and people are curious why Phoenix turned them down.

Gobert is one of the best big men in the league, a multiple Defensive Player of the Year who could add so much to the Suns’ frontcourt.

As for DiVincenzo, Dillingham, and Shannon, they could all provide reliable help both on and off the bench.

The Suns ended up going with a deal from Houston that some people consider minor and lacking.

It’s not clear what’s next for the team.

It’s also not clear what is next for these few Timberwolves players, because the front office is obviously okay with the idea of cutting them loose.

They didn’t put a package together with the Suns, but what’s stopping them from shipping them around some more during the summer?

Did we just get insight into Minnesota’s mindset, and could we be seeing any of these players leave the Wolves in the months ahead?

Losing Gobert would be a massive change for the team, but the fact that he was reportedly part of a potential package for Durant means he is expendable in some ways, if the right offer comes to Minnesota.
