The Minnesota Timberwolves had a good season, making it to the Western Conference finals, although they were defeated by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were much more prepared for the prime time, in five games. But who knows what the final stretch would have held for the Wolves if they had followed through with their serious pursuit of Kevin Durant during the trade deadline.
"Talking to the involved parties, it was clear to me how serious the Wolves were in their attempt to sign Kevin Durant before the trade deadline," stated Brian Windhorst, ESPN journalist.
This coincides with another recent update on the Wolves published on Friday. It seems that the urgent search for KD by the Wolves has not stopped. It appears that this summer they will once again do everything possible to sign the 15-time All-Star.
The Wolves continue to pursue KD
Sam Amico, from Hoops Wire, insists that Minnesota wants to find another leader for their lineup to help them take a quality leap. "The Timberwolves need another leader alongside Edwards to win it all, so sources close to Hoops Wire claim that Minnesota is expected to try to sign Durant again this summer."
Amico adds that his sources have told him that KD would, indeed, be interested in playing with the Timberwolves. It remains to be seen what kind of compensation they could offer to Phoenix, as two of their most valuable assets, Naz Reid and Julius Randle, could become free agents this summer.
