Terrence Shannon Jr. Rumors

Before taking the Rockets offer, the Suns had in-depth discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves about moving Durant for a package that included star center Rudy Gobert, guard Donte DiVincenzo, promising forward Terrence Shannon Jr. and the 17th pick in this year's draft, sources told ESPN. Had that deal come to fruition, there was a place for Beal in the lineup, and the Suns might've made it a priority to keep him.

The Timberwolves do have a few young guards and wings, including Terrence Shannon Jr., Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham, who the team believes are ready to step in and take Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s minutes should he move on. The Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat are among a number of teams to watch in the hunt for Alexander-Walker.

The Timberwolves want to win right now. The two timelines meshed in the moment, and Connelly sent the Spurs an unprotected first-round pick in 2031 and the right to swap picks in 2030 for the eighth pick, allowing the Wolves to grab a player they coveted. They also held on to No. 27, where they took Illinois wing Terrence Shannon Jr., another skilled scorer to help an offense that ranked 17th in the league last season. “I can’t think of any time that you can get that high without losing a core piece,” Connelly said, adding that he understood San Antonio’s logic in swapping out a pick now for a pick down the road. “And certainly it’s a real asset we gave up. It can inhibit deal-making moving forward. But knowing the restrictions you start to enter when guys rightfully get paid, yeah, we just looked at it and we think, ‘How can we get a guy that can be this impactful?’ ”
