D'Angelo Russell is no stranger to hearing his name in traderumors.

The 26-year-old has been dealt three times throughout the courseof his seven-year NBA career, and he's aware that he continues topop up in the rumor mill.

“Yeah, it’s my life,” Russell recently told Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.“That’s it. Just be conscious of it.”

It certainly seems like the Minnesota Timberwolves will weightheir options as the Feb. 9 trade deadline approaches, especiallysince Russell is set to hit unrestricted free agency thisoffseason.

One team that has reportedly expressed interest in Russell isthe Miami Heat, according to Fischer and Darren Wolfson of KTSP.

Wolfson says that the Heat would be open to dealing Kyle Lowryfor Russell straight-up, but that he can't see Minnesota agreeingto that. Fischer agrees that a Lowry-for-Russell swap seemsunlikely.

Fischer adds that rival executives aremonitoring the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers as possiblelanding spots for Russell since they both seem interested inimproving their backcourt. This isn't the first time that the Sunshave been mentioned as a suitor for Russell, who is close friendswith Devin Booker.
