I seen some crazy stuff about Kevin Durant's name in trade talks," Edwards said (via The Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin)."I was super surprised. I didn't think Phoenix would be trying to trade him."The rumors surrounding Durant will likely continue into the offseason if Phoenix can't make a big turnaround following its 26-28 start or make a separate big move after the season.

From the start, the Minnesota Timberwolves have tried to build the best team around Anthony Edwards. This mindset led them to chase one of the biggest names available on the trade market: Kevin Durant.

Durant wanted to see the season through with the Suns, and from a practical standpoint, he wasn't interested in moving midseason.
