Wolves acquire D'Angelo Russell in trade for Andrew Wiggins
Error 0:
Golden State has agreed to trade D'Angelo Russell to Minnesota for a deal that includes Andrew Wiggins, a 2021 protected first-round pick and a 2022 second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Warriors will send Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to Timberwolves too.
The Wolves get both the point guard they desperately wanted and who is friends with their disgruntled star and also rid themselves of Andrew Wiggins. Sounds like a win/win on their end. Russell was never a great fit in Golden State due to the presence of Steph Curry. But he was an asset they received, so they didn't lose Kevin Durant for nothing.
