The Minnesota Timberwolves were unwilling to part with Jaden McDaniels in trade discussions for Kevin Durant, according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. While Anthony Edwards was an expected untouchable in negotiations, Minnesota also refused to include McDaniels in their pursuit of Durant at this season’s trade deadline.

Scotto reported that while the Timberwolves made an effort to land Durant from the Phoenix Suns, they were adamant about keeping both Edwards and McDaniels. Instead, the team was willing to offer Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo as part of a potential package, per league sources.
