Interesting trade option.
But I think GSW would rather just have Covington.
Covington, Klay and Draymond would be awesome on defence

That very well may be true, but with Teague now gone, constructing a legal trade that gets Russell to Minnesota and Covington to GS isn’t easy.  What if GS doesn’t want Dieng and doesn’t want to pay LT.

Dieng now has to be part of the outgoing, so they probably need a third team to take Dieng in any Russell deal before the TDL.  The team that takes Dieng is going to have to be compensated.  If there isn’t a good current path to Covington, Wright and Culver aren’t that shabby for GS.  Of course, if GS really wants Covington, I’ll be happy to take Dieng and Culver.  I think he has more upside than Wright and moving Wright as part of a Dieng deal sets us up even better for 2021 cap room.

Not sure that if you remove Russell that Min is willing to keep the replacement for RoCo and reason he’s available, in the trade, if they’re willing to let him go at all.
