Kevin Durant has been closely linked in trade talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, Shams Charania recently reported on Durant's lack of interest in joining the Wolves.

As finalists to acquire Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant dwindle day by day, reports from Durant's camp revealed why the Minnesota Timberwolves likely won't be suitors for the 37-year-old forward. ESPN's Shams Charania reported Monday ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals that Durant would prefer not to be moved to Minnesota ahead of his impending trade.

One potential rumored option has been pursuing Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with the Phoenix Suns.
