That includes intensifying their pursuit of Golden State Warriors guard D’Angelo Russell. Discussions have yielded no traction to this point, league sources said. So far, Golden State has been inclined to keep Russell.

D-Lo signed a four-year, $117.3 million max contract in July, and has repeatedly said he hopes to remain with the Warriors long term.
