Having made attempts to facilitate trades with the Eastern Conference teams ahead of the trade deadline as well, the Timberwolves' interest in forming a superstar duo featuring Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards seems genuine.

Tim Connelly recently spoke about the second apron, and some could think he was hinting at a Kevin Durant trade.

At the February trade deadline, it was rumored that the Suns were looking to move Durant. According to The Stein Line's Jake Fischer, the Minnesota Timberwolves were very interested in making a deal happen.
