NBA Trade Deadline: As It Happened

NBA trade deadline news and rumors. Knicks, Clippers, Wizards Warriors, Timberwolves, Heat and Grizzlies complete trades.

The Warriors and Timberwolves have agreed on a deal for D'Angelo Russell, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

Russell, Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman are headed to Minneapolis in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, a 2021 top-three protected first-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick. The 2021 first-rounder becomes unprotected in 2022. Karl-Anthony Towns and Russell, who are good friends, team up in Minnesota.

It was "the league's worst-kept secret" that the Wolves were aggressively pursuing Russell in an attempt to keep Towns happy, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Towns could have pressured the Wolves into trading him at any point, and that power had the Wolves desperate to make a move to appease him. The Wolves' inability to build around the All-NBA player this season and in previous seasons has been palpable. Trading for Russell could very well help ease that broiling tension. 

Elsewhere, the Heat and Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari worked overnight negotiating a contract extension to finalize a three-team deal that would take him to South Beach, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, but talks have stalled between OKC and Miami on a trade package.

As it stands, only Iguodala and two Grizzlies teammates will be heading to Miami after it seemed Gallinari would follow suit. Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill would also be dealt to the Heat, in exchange for Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters and James Johnson. Johnson would then subsequently dealt to the Timberwolves for Gorgui Dieng. 

Iguodala has already reportedly agreed to a two-year, $30 million contract extension with the Heat. The former Finals MVP has sat out the first three months of the season awaiting a trade, much to the ire of teammates like Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant.

It's still possible that the deal will expand to include Gallinari and the Thunder, according to ESPN's Wojnarowski. Even if the Thunder and Heat do finalize a trade, a Gallinari extension would be needed, and there's no guarantee those negotiations will be completed by mid-afternoon.
