I’m not saying I’m against the Timberwolves giving away Rudy Gobert in a Kevin Durant trade. I just want to know what their plan for protecting the basket is going to be because neither Randle nor Naz are viable defensive centers. – 2:30 PM

Big question I have right now in the KD sweepstakes is which, if any, of the reported teams will be willing to extend him at the full amount right now? – 1:54 PM

More on this storyline
With all the trade rumors surrounding Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, there is now a reported timetable for when a deal could happen, and it might be sooner than fans would have thought. As there have been five featured teams gunning for the Suns forward in Durant, it seems as if he will be joining his fifth team, even before the NBA Draft. This reporting is coming from Phoenix insider John Gambadoro, who said flat out that he expects Durant to be dealt “next week” from the team. He would say this on the “Burns and Gambo” show, where he would be asked about what he’s heard on the situation with Durant, which led to this shocking turn of events. “I expect Kevin Durant will be traded from the Phoenix Suns next week,” Gambadoro said. “There’s a lot of stuff out there. Some of it’s accurate, a lot of it is not accurate. We’ve said it all along that he will be traded by the draft. Outside shot that something happens sooner. But I’m gonna say that next week, my expectations are Kevin Durant is traded.” -via Clutch Points / June 13, 2025
It’s also reported that some of Cooper’s pre-draft prep has involved Chris Paul and Kevin Durant being at the facility. Is that true? MacKenzie: “Yeah, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant have been inside the facility. It’s been nice to see how those guys work, and they’ve been really receptive and great about being available to answer questions. They’ve been able to share some of their different strategies in terms of their preparation. Being able to see Kevin Durant work out and then talk to Chris Paul off the court has been very valuable. For Cooper, it’s all about being able to find the right mentors and the right players who have done it before him, so he can continue to take bits and pieces of what has made others successful and allow that to continue to shape him.” -via Responsible Gaming / June 13, 2025
