The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a mega NBA trade that involves four teams and 12 players.

As part of the deal, the Timberwolves will part ways with Robert Covington, Keita Bates-Diop, Shabazz Napier, and Jordan Bell. In exchange, the Wolves will receive Malik Beasley, Juan Hernangomez, Evan Turner, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Atlanta's first-round selection in the 2020 NBA Draft.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski released details of the trade late Tuesday (February 4) night.

Krawzynski of The Athletic and Darren Wolfson from KSTP in Minneapolis both have reported that the Timberwolves are attempting to use this trade as a way to make a move for Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell. Wolfson says, however, that you shouldn't expect a trade this week.

Minnesota returns to the court tonight (February 5) as they host Atlanta.
