As the NBA trade deadline draws near with a set date of February 6th, one team has tried everything to pry D’Angelo Russell away from the Golden State Warriors.
This team is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are trying to keep their superstar talent happy by pairing him with his close friend.
The Timberwolves’ pursuit of D’Angelo Russell has been an ongoing one that stretches beyond the start of this season. Before agreeing to a sign-and-trade deal that would send him to the Warriors, Minnesota seemed like the ideal landing spot for Russell.
Russell and Timberwolves’ superstar center Karl-Anthony Towns are good friends and have publicly shared their desire to share the same court as teammates at some point.
