The Golden State Warriors have made a major move.
D'Angelo Russell will be joining the Warriors on a four year deal that's worth $117 million. The news comes via ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Russell, who was drafted by the Lakers with the second overall pick in 2015, averaged 21.1 points and 7.0 assists during the 2018-19 season. He might not be a Warrior for long despite those numbers. The New York Times' Marc Stein said that Golden State is looking to trade Russell away; the franchise simply didn't want to see Durant leave without something in return.
Wojnarowski also reports that the Warriors' Andre Iguodala is being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Some people have joked that Iguodala was traded after his Breakfast Club interview. During the chat, Iguodala made comments suggesting that Mark Jackson was being blackballed by the league. When Charlamagne tha God asked outright if that was the case, Andre responded in the affirmative. "I do," he said.
