Basketball wise, Durant would fit in nicely with a core of Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. However, there's a concern for some about disrupting the chemistry of a team on the rise and what Houston would have to give up.

Minnesota does not want to make a seismic change if Durant isn't on board. The question is whether there’s any chance he comes around to it.

On Monday, ESPN confirmed that possibility, reporting that the Suns have focused on negotiations with three teams: the Rockets, Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are obviously not one of the three teams on that list. According to Shams Charania, "Durant has no desire to be in Minnesota with the Timberwolves."
