The Western Conference Finals is a turning point? The Timberwolves may become Durant s next home, and Huazi hopes to have a top partner

Today I saw the playoff G5 report between the Timberwolves and the Thunder, and I felt a little emotional. As soon as the score in the Western Conference Finals came out, the huge gap between 94 and 124 was there. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the Timberwolves had come to an end this season. Although it would not be considered a crushing defeat in the Western Conference Finals, the team probably had to digest the gap for a while.

When I got ClutchPoints' tweet after the game, my mind suddenly turned around. They said that the Timberwolves may become the winner of Durant's battle after losing. This sounds a bit unfamiliar at first, but it makes sense to think about it carefully. Let’s talk about the Timberwolves’ current lineup. Edwards is indeed a good piece of material, with strong impact and sufficient explosive scoring. But basketball is a sport of five people after all, and it is definitely not enough to rely on one person to rush and beat hard. What do you think is missing on the field? There is a lack of someone who can hold the ball steadily and control the rhythm, a lack of someone who can cooperate with Huazi and lead the whole team to run tactics, and there is also a lack of a key man who can still score even if the opponent is strictly guarding to the extreme.

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that Durant's performance in France was like a cheater at the Olympics last summer. When I watched the game, I felt that how could this guy do that no matter how his opponent double-teamed the elbow, he could send the ball into the basket? Isn’t this ability to “hold the ball and solve the problem” the Timberwolves most jealous now? Although losing in the playoffs is not a good thing, sometimes the "frustration" and "turnaround" in competitive sports are really just a layer of window paper - maybe the management is holding on to a lot of energy and want to take advantage of the offseason to make some big moves.

In fact, there have been rumors that the Timberwolves secretly tested Durant's trading possibility in February this year. This may have seemed a bit out of reach at the time, but now that the Western Conference Finals are out, the urgency of the team's urgent need to upgrade the team's lineup suddenly rises. Think about it, if KD can really be brought, Huazi will be responsible for flying and rushing into the basket, Durant will hold the ball on the outside and support the mid-range harvest. If these two people can react chemically, the picture will be exciting. Of course, this level of transaction will definitely be a damn trick. Draft picks and young players probably have to go out, but doesn’t competitive sports pay attention to the word “gambling”? What's more, a star of Durant's level is an existence that can change the team's temperament.

Although this matter is still in the "possibility" stage, there has never been a shortage of crazy plots in the offseason of the NBA. As fans, let’s wait and see how the management works - maybe when the game starts next season, you can really see the "Huazi + KD" king combination in Minnesota stadium.
