The Minnesota Timberwolves are ramping up their pursuit of Warriors point guard D'Angelo Russell. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Wolves are hoping to bring several teams together as part of the deal.

Via ESPN:

The Minnesota Timberwolves are orchestrating multiteam trade discussions with Houston and Atlanta, with hopes of ultimately turning discussions into a four-way deal that brings Golden State guard D'Angelo Russell to Minnesota, league sources tell ESPN.

The Timberwolves, Rockets and Hawks possess the assets to fulfill some of each team's goals: forward Robert Covington to Houston, center Clint Capela to the Hawks and potentially two first-round picks and an expiring contract to Minnesota, league sources said.

Talks between the Timberwolves and Warriors reportedly reached an impasse earlier this week. This is likely an attempt to spark up the conversation again.

With Stephen Curry (hand) and Klay Thompson (ACL) out of commission due to injuries, Russell has seen an increased role with the Warriors. He's making the most of this opportunity, as he is posting career-high numbers.

In his 32 appearances this season (all starts), Russell has racked up averages of 23.8 points on 43.3 percent shooting from the field (38.3 percent from beyond the arc), 6.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and just under one steal (0.9) in 32.1 minutes per outing. However, the Warriors are currently holding a 12-39 overall record.

This season's trade deadline is Thursday at 3:00 p.m. ET. Let's see if the Timberwolves can pull of a deal for Russell between now and then.
