D’Angelo Russell and the Minnesota Timberwolves had an unfortunate end to the 2021-22 NBA season. The team collapsed repeatedly in their series loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Russell was relegated to the bench in the decisive moments of the final game. For the series, Russell averaged 12.0 points per game on 33.3% shooting, not up to his standard.

Still, Russell is an established point guard in the NBA. He has scoring talent, passing talent, and a well-established clutch gene. Should rumors of a rift between Russell and the Timberwolves be true, teams should be eager to line up for a trade. A perfect destination might be the New York Knicks.
