Report: Wolves at top of Russell's wish list
A point guard shuffle of sorts seems afoot in the Eastern Conference, with Charlotte Hornets star Kemba Walker likely headed to the Boston Celtics and the Celtics' Kyrie Irving closing in on a deal with the Brooklyn Nets. That leaves the Nets' star point guard from last season, D'Angelo Russell, likely looking for a new place to land as well.
Last night, word began to crop up that the Los Angeles Lakers (who drafted Russell in 2015) and the Minnesota Timberwolves are interested in Russell. The New York Times' Marc Stein reports via Twitter that the Wolves are at the top of Russell's wish list as the official opening of free agency nears. However, the Lakers are still interested in Russell, too.

Minnesota is at the top of D'Angelo Russell's free-agent wish list as the opening bell nears, league sources say -- with the Timberwolves increasingly confident they can make the necessary salary-cap moves to land him.
The Lakers' interest in D'Angelo Russell is undeniable, league sources say, but Minnesota has made the All-Star guard its top priority in free agency knowing that the Nets mere hours away from the momentous addition of Kyrie Irving
Russell was an All-Star last season and averaged career-bests across the board in scoring (21.1 points per game), rebounding (3.9 rpg), assists (7.0 apg) and shooting (43.4%). With Russell leading the way, the Nets’ strength was in the backcourt, along with fellow guards Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris, the NBA’s leading 3-point shooter.The Lakers' interest in D'Angelo Russell is undeniable, league sources say, but Minnesota has made the All-Star guard its top priority in free agency knowing that the Nets mere hours away from the momentous addition of Kyrie Irving

I just read Kawhi to Lakers is serious....
Kawhi is the game changer, where is goes.
So rumors of Iriving and KD in Brooklyn is now reality. KD, businesses there. Kyrie, grew up in the area. So now, it is Kyrie who chose his team and coach. Interestingly, Kyrie's money is the same as KD's and the same as Kemba...

I know you probably don’t like that but I think it’s a good move for Sixers. Still no word on Butler
For a while there, there was little hope for Al to stay, but not happening. Sixers gave him what he wanted, a 4 yr deal. I don't think Cs shld give him that long a deal.
Butler to Miami,

I didn't see this one coming
Plus they are trading Iggy to Memphis
Reports: D'Angelo Russell, Warriors near sign-and-trade deal
From NBA.com Staff
The Golden State Warriors know that Kevin Durant is headed to the Brooklyn Nets.
And they reportedly have quickly decided to chart an alternate course, clearing a path for Brooklyn's All-Star point guard D'Angelo Russell to head cross-country the other way and join the Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal.
Shams Charania of The Athletic first reported the acquisition was near and would also include Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier moving out West. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski soon confirmed the deal, noting it's a four-year, $117 million maximum contract.
Russell, originally drafted No. 2 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2015, developed into an All-Star in Brooklyn. He averaged a career-best line (21.1 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 7.0 apg, 43.4 FG%, 36.9 3P%) while leading the Nets to the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.
Around the same time, Wojnarowski reported that the Warriors would be trading Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies, with a protected 2024 first-round pick attached.
