A day after the Warriors sent D'Angelo Russell (and some other players) to Minnesota for Andrew Wiggins (and some picks) Steve Kerr confirmed to reporters what everybody already kind of assumed, which is that Russell was never really a great positional fit for Golden State.
Oh well, if ever there was a season to try some different things, this would be the one.
After a run of five straight appearances in the NBA Finals, the Warriors are currently 12-40, which is currently good for the crappiest record in the NBA. Still, it's highly unlikely that this will be a prolonged stretch of stinkiness as that abysmal mark can be largely blamed on those aforementioned injuries to Curry's hand and Thompson's ACL.
