For the Suns, Kevin Durant had 33 points and Devin Booker added 28 with eight assists in the loss, but the Timberwolves were too much to handle. One concerning thing for the Suns was Durant wearing a wrap on his left thumb, although he still shot 13-of-19 from the field and didn't have a single turnover in the game.

Golden State has a wealth of tradeable assets. If the right player becomes available, Mike Dunleavy Jr. could create an enticing package built around young, high-upside talent and interesting future draft picks. However, given the Warriors ' current roster, it's hard to ascertain which direction the front office wants to take.

In Bitar’s blockbuster trade proposal, the Warriors would send Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield, Kevon Looney, Linda Walters III, a 2025 first-round pick, and a 2029 first-round pick to the Suns for Durant.
