Ian Begley of SNY has the information:
The Knicks have registered interest with Golden State about trading for D'Angelo Russell, league sources confirm. It's unclear how far along talks have gone, but Bobby Portis is one name that came up in the conversations, per SNY sources.
Frank Ntilikina's name has also come up in conversations between the Knicks and Warriors around Russell.
Bobby Portis and Frank Ntilikina? That certainly doesn't move the needle and almost assuredly won't get a trade to the finish line.

The Warriors reportedly would only consider sending D-Lo to the T-Wolves if they receive "significant draft pick compensation" in return. Assuming this is true, you can also assume the Warriors' asking price would be the same in any potential deal with New York.
