This summer promises to be intense in the NBA transfer market, with one of the most closely followed rumors: a trade involving Kevin Durant. While discussions are progressing, some intriguing possibilities have emerged, notably one that would place Rudy Gobert at the center of the deal.
According to sources close to the matter, Rudy Gobert could land in Phoenix as part of a trade with the Timberwolves. This scenario matches the Suns’ needs, who have been searching for a dominant center since Deandre Ayton’s departure. The Frenchman fits perfectly the profile desired by Brian Gregory, the new GM of the organization.
In this context, Gobert’s significant salary would help facilitate the trade with Kevin Durant, especially considering the NBA’s strict financial exchange rules. This technical detail should not be overlooked and makes the idea credible, even if nothing is official yet. There are other ways Minnesota could reach an agreement—but which is the most appealing?
Rudy Gobert in exchange for Kevin Durant? The idea is still on the table
The interest in Gobert also reflects the Suns’ ambitions to strengthen their frontcourt and become competitive again after disappointing seasons. For the Timberwolves, acquiring Durant would be a huge coup, capable of changing the dynamic around Anthony Edwards and helping them take the final step to win the championship.
@Ary_Report : “In such a scenario, Rudy Gobert would likely land in Phoenix as part of the framework, sources said, a player who fits the profile targeted by Suns GM Brian Gregory. Some within Kevin Durant’s inner circle believe Minnesota is a legitimate landing spot.”
Although some close to KD see Minnesota as a credible destination, the situation remains very fluid and subject to many variables. The coming days should be closely watched to see if this hypothesis materializes or if other franchises intervene in the negotiations. The Rockets and Heat are the latest contenders, according to Shams Charania.
The next few weeks will be crucial, as the NBA summer often brings major surprises, and this potential trade could significantly shake up the league’s balance. Gobert is certainly not guaranteed to stay put, not while this Durant saga looms over the organization.
