Kevin Durant Predicts Suns Will Trade Him to West Team on Rise originally appeared on Athlon Sports. That the Phoenix Suns are looking to reset their roster and eventually their salary cap situation is no secret around the NBA. That trading Kevin Durant this summer is likely the only way to do so is also common knowledge.

The Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves have been connected in Kevin Durant trade rumors for months. The Wolves have been to the Western Conference Finals in each of the last two years, and acquiring Durant could help their chances of getting to the NBA Finals for the first time in their franchise's history.

The Suns should ask for those draft picks for Durant. As far as players, landing Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr. in a trade would give the Suns two Day 1 starters to pair up with Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and a big man.
