The worst-kept secret heading into the 2019-20 season was that the Timberwolves really wanted D’Angelo Russell on their team.
The fact that it wasn’t exactly a secret was probably by design.
The Timberwolves first went after Russell, one of Karl-Anthony Towns’ best friends, in free agency.
It made sense. Russell was a star-level point guard. His age fit the Timberwolves’ timeline much better than someone like Jeff Teague.
