D'Angelo Russell at ease with rumours of potential Warriors exit

The Hindu  

Golden State Warriors point guard D'Angelo Russell insists he is utterly unfazed by rumours of a four-way trade that could see him join Minnesota Timberwolves. Russell only joined Golden State last year following a two-year spell with Brooklyn Nets — his 2019 form earning him an All-Star selection as Victor Oladipo's replacement. The Timberwolves are reportedly attempting to organise a multi-team trade with the hopes of eventually ensnaring Russell — and he seems open to all eventualities. Another move would see Russell link up with a fourth different team, having also represented Los Angeles Lakers from 2015 to 2017.
