Names Amico:The Timberwolves are expected to push for a trade for Durant this offseason, and they are looking for a leader-type player.

Edwards: Who's being buried, aren't labor leaders the leaders?

However, Edwards should not mind being Durant's younger brother, after all, this is his idol, and he has always been a follower during the Paris Olympics last year.

Durant, who has won two championships and two FMVPs, was named MVP in the 13-14 season, has four Olympic gold medals in hand, and is very qualified to be called a leader, and this season at the age of 36 "old" can still average 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 52.7%, 43% and 83.9% from three, and the 23-year-old Edwards is still far behind.

Edwards averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game in the regular season this season, shooting 44.7%, 39.5% and 83.7% from three. In the playoffs, he averaged 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 45.3%, 35.4% and 71.9% from three.

Especially in the Western Conference finals, Edwards fell out of standard under the crazy encirclement of the league's No. 1 Thunder, averaging only 23 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 47%/28%/69%.

As for the Timberwolves' offer for Durant, it is nothing more than Randle as the core chip + draft pick. In fact, Randle performed well overall in the playoffs this year, averaging 21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, shooting 50.2% and 38.5% from the field, successfully getting rid of the bad image of the playoffs caused by the Knicks.

If the Timberwolves fail in negotiations with the Suns and fail to trade Durant for Durant in the Minnesota city, the Minnesota city will have a foothold for Randle, who has also expressed a desire to stay with the team, a buddy who is on contract for the new season.
