BIG TRADE DEADLINE SWAP!!!!
The Golden State Warriors
traded D'Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and a 2021 1st round pick (Top 3 protected) and a 2022 2nd round pick. Russell was traded along with some cap fillers as well with Spellman and and Jacob Evans also heading to Minnesota. I know that this deal would happen especially when in the long run they can't have two point guards running the show, Russell was really meant to be traded by the Warriors after they signed him and I think Minnesota have ruined GSW's chance of getting a better deal out of it. Now Towns will be playing on the same uniform with one of his best friends, this was really a good trade done by the management especially when Towns got saddened by the Covington trade.
Oh my, so the rumor now became true.
I believed too that Russell was bound to trade during the early phase of the season but the way he performed and now catching up on the Warriors way of playing, I think that plan now changed.
Who's the winner of this trade? For now, in my own view, it's the Timberwolves. But for the next season, it will be on Warriors. That 2021 1st round pick is so important and Warriors surely take chances there. Next season Curry and Thompson will surely come back and I think Wiggins will be placed again on the market.
I'm now getting more interest for that future pick that Warriors will get. They are preparing for a big return!
