Dane Moore: I’ve been saying for a month that I heard there’s a better than 50% chance that D’Angelo Russell will be traded this offseason. Conversations with a few non-Timberwolves sources today suggest a Russell trade is now even more likely – either tonight or the first week of July.

KAT shared the floor with Dieng for 2161 minutes in 16-17 and he shared the floor with Gibson for 2179 the following year. 2000 minutes is a lot – about what he + DLo have shared the floor for since the trade.
The idea that playing KAT next to a 5 would be completely new to me is strange – 00:30

More on this scenario
Other teams currently known to be aggressively seeking point guards are the New York Knicks and Washington Wizards, while the Minnesota Timberwolves have been actively exploring the market for D’Angelo Russell trade scenarios, sources told B/R-via the launderer report / Jun 23, 2022
The draft is a day away, but at this point the Timberwolves have not come close to any trade involving D’Angelo Russell or any other player, sources have told The Athletic. Discussions are expected to evolve from theory to practice as the project gets closer. —via The Athletic / June 22, 2022
D’Angelo Russell is making the rounds in stores, so it makes sense that the Timberwolves would target a plan creator with this selection. TyTy and Karl-Anthony Towns could make a deadly pick-and-roll couple, and with Anthony Edwards looking like a superstar in the playoffs (and in Hustle), Minnesota would be equipped with a dynamic offense. Anything Russell comes back to in a trade could only strengthen their roster even more. —via nbadraft.theringer.com / Jun 13, 2022
