Timberwolves Eye 3 Trade Targets After Playoff Exit, Led by 38-Year-Old Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant tops a three-player list of Minnesota trade targets after its 2026 playoff loss, with Kyrie Irving and Cason Wallace also framed as ways to upgrade Anthony Edwards' supporting cast.
Minnesota's biggest need is a dependable second scorer and steadier shot creation after another postseason miss, making Durant the cleanest fit despite his age and injury history.
Irving offers elite self-creation but comes with major risk at 34 after more than a year out with an ACL tear, while Wallace is pitched as a younger two-way guard and career 37.4% three-point shooter.
The trade ideas come as the Wolves weigh broader roster changes around Edwards following elimination, with cap pressure and possible departures already shaping their offseason options.

Is moving defensive anchor Rudy Gobert the only real path to building a championship offense around Anthony Edwards?
