THJ + Dinwiddie for D'lo and filler? Those names dont play defense anyway. You're not losing any defensive numbers with THJ.
I would do that trade, but not because of Russell's fit or talent but because his contract will be expiring. I'm not a fan of Russell as a starter. Too much defensive deficiencies, unathletic, inconsistent shot and questionable IQ. As a super 6th man and Luka-lite off the bench, I like though since he can feast on bench units. This is the type of trade I can see the FO looking at. Trading some of our bad contracts for players on expiring deals that can contribute. Personally I think THJ would have to be re-routed elsewhere since Minny already has their THJ in Beasley but good trade idea.
