It s so daring to say it! Xu Jingyu predicts that Durant will eventually go home

NBA offseason has not arrived yet, and the trading market has become lively. Rumors about Durant's next home are everywhere like snowflakes. The fans were eagerly looking forward to it, curious about which team this superstar would go to? Look, our familiar sports media person Xu Jingyu couldn't help but tell her thoughts online.

Xu Jingyu directly posted a Weibo post, which was very certain. He said, "Where will Durant go? I will just say this. I said, Durant will join the Timberwolves 100%!" At this moment, the fan circle was in a panic. Everyone is discussing why Xu Jingyu is so sure?

It turns out that Durant has several potential teams in his next home, such as the Rockets, Spurs, and Heat, all have rumored him. But Xu Jingyu felt that the Rockets and the Spurs were not very interested in Durant. These two teams have just achieved some results with young players. They have great potential for future development and plenty of time. There is no need to rush to introduce a veteran with a maximum salary and a 37-year-old. Even if the Rockets and Spurs talk about Durant with the Suns, they are still thinking of taking advantage of it. If the Suns don’t sell it at a low price or buy something, the two teams won’t have a serious talk. Moreover, the previous rumors about the Rockets and Durant may be the Suns who are thinking about it themselves.

Xu Jingyu feels unreliable on the Heat. Butler, a veteran in the Heat company, doesn't want to renew his contract due to age issues, let alone Durant is older than Butler and has not as good as Butler's team leader. How could the Heat spend a lot of money to introduce him?

Xu Jingyu thought about it and felt that only the Timberwolves were the most likely to get Durant. Why? Because the Timberwolves are in big trouble now, it is Gobert's contract. Gobert is more and more like a drag in a high-level game. The Timberwolves thought that if they could get Durant, although it was risky, they might get rid of Gobert's drag on the team's salary space in the next few years. It would be a good deal.

There is another thing. If Durant doesn't want to go to a certain team, he might be afraid of not renewing the contract. However, Xu Jingyu felt that Durant would be 38 years old next season, which team would follow him. He doesn't have that high status like Curry is in the Warriors or James is in the Lakers. At that time, the team will not be afraid of him scaring him, and they will break up at worst.

In my opinion, although Xu Jingyu's analysis is bold, it really makes some sense. From the perspective of the Timberwolves, they are indeed eager to improve the team's ability to attack at critical moments. This season, the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals, and everyone can see their strength, but in the tough battle, there is always a player who can make a final decision in the end. Durant is a powerful offensive character, and his scoring ability is one of the best in the league. If he joins the Timberwolves and forms a partner with the team's core Edwards, then the offensive firepower will be scary just thinking about it. Moreover, Edwards has always regarded Durant as his idol, and they have a good relationship, so there is no need to worry about the atmosphere in the locker room.

Judging from external factors, the Timberwolves' salary structure does need to be adjusted. Gobert's contract occupies too much salary space and has not yet made the value it should have. Trade Gobert in exchange for Durant can not only solve the salary problem, but also improve the team's strength. On the Suns, there is also a player who can support the inside, and Gobert is just right. In addition, the Timberwolves general manager has always dared to make bold deals, and in order to get Durant, he is likely to fight.

Of course, this transaction is not sure. For example, the Timberwolves can not produce many draft picks, which will affect the Suns' enthusiasm. But in general, Xu Jingyu's prediction of Durant joining the Timberwolves is not a fool. If this deal really happens, the competition will be more intense and better in the NBA West next season; maybe the Timberwolves can really win the championship with the help of Durant, so let's wait and see.
