Coming off back-to-back appearances in the Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves might turn to Kevin Durant as the final piece to push them over the top.

Houston’s rapid rise to the No. 2 seed in the West under Udoka’s defensive-minded system highlights their readiness for a star like Durant, whose 26.6 points per game and 63.2 percent true shooting this season could address the Rockets' offensive shortcomings.

The Miami Heat are reportedly "hesitant" to include one of their young stars in a trade for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.
