With the next Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline approaching rapidly, we’re entering crunch time for Minnesota Timberwolves’ front office.

Despite the incredible stretch Russell has given Minnesota since Karl-Anthony Towns went down with a right calf strain on November 28, 62% of fans voted that trading D’Lo is the best path forward. Given his status as an upcoming unrestricted free agent, we offered two additional choices: a sign-and-trade (23% of the vote) and re-sign him long-term.
