The Golden State Warriors have said multiple times they didn’t bring in D’Angelo Russell to trade him. We heard it straight from general manager Bob Myers, and it should still be true as the season continues to near.
However, the NBA along with Warrior fans shouldn’t completely out rule a D-Lo trade.
After all, the 23-year-old All-Star is an isolation-heavy player that may not be able to thrive in the Golden State elite, team-first system. Although unlikely, there should a few scenarios where he’s successfully deal to a team like Minnesota.
When Klay Thompson returns, the Warriors will either have one of the worst defensive backcourts in the league or opt to send Russell to the second unit.
