The Brooklyn Nets are expected to part ways with D'Angelo Russell once they receive a commitment from Kyrie Irving.

Wolves Had Jarrett Culver No. 5 On Draft Board Behind Darius Garland

Jun 22, 2019 4:36 PM

The Minnesota Timberwolves traded up from No. 11 to No. 6 as they didn't believe a difference-making player would be available to them that far down in the lottery.

The Wolves had a top tier of five players: Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, RJ Barrett, Darius Garland and Jarrett Culver.

The Wolves had discussions with the New Orleans Pelicans on moving up to No. 4, as well as the Cleveland Cavaliers on No. 5.

Minnesota eventually traded up to No. 6 with the Phoenix Suns and selected Culver.

The Wolves reportedly had Garland ahead of Culver, but Cleveland took him at No. 5. Atlanta selected De'Andre Hunter at No. 4.

Wolves Think D'Angelo Russell Will Be In Play For Them

Jun 21, 2019 6:09 PM

The Minnesota Timberwolves are "up to something," according to Zach Lowe. 

D'Angelo Russell will be a restricted free agent and the Brooklyn Nets have been linked with Kyrie Irving.

"There has been a lot of Minnesota (signing) D'Angelo Russell noise," said Lowe. "And it's not all Karl Towns commenting on Instagram because they're friends. Minnesota has communicated to the league, not the NBA league, just the league at large that they believe they have a pathway to get D'Angelo Russell.

"I can't see what it is because they're capped out and they have all of these contracts nobody wants, but they've communicated that."
