Some weeks ago, there were reports about the Timberwolves trying to trade their No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins for D’Angelo Russell. However, the Warriors were reportedly uninterested.

NBA trade deadline: Timberwolves are actively seeking a multi-team deal to acquire D'Angelo Russell before the NBA trade deadline

According to multiple NBA reports, there are trade rumours about the Timberwolves discussing a multi-team deal with the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks in order to crack a better deal with the Warriors. Apparently the Warriors do not want Robert Covington but the Timberwolves could benefit in a separate deal which gives them more draft picks in their D’Angelo Russell deal. According to reports, they were also willing to offer the Warriors with Brooklyn Nets' first-round pick.

However, the Warriors have reportedly moved on from the deal. The Warriors have a price point, which the Timberwolves are not ready to meet. They even declined the offer of a three-way deal. This deal would send Robert Covington to the Rockets, Clint Capela to Atlanta Hawks and the Nets 2020 first-round pick from the Hawks to the Timberwolves. Though the Warriors could trade Russell, he is most likely to complete the NBA 2019-20 season with the team. As per reports, Russell’s price will be higher if they keep increasing the price closer to the NBA trade deadline.
