The Golden State Warriors ended the trade deadline with an absolute splash, swapping max contracts with the Minnesota Timberwolves. D’Angelo Russell is out, Andrew Wiggins is in.
That’s a lot to digest, and over the next days, weeks, months, and perhaps years, we’ll collectively digest it, and try and figure out what it means, for good and for bad.
In the meantime, here’s everything we know about the trade: What it is, what it means, and why it happened.
The details
Warriors get: Andrew Wiggins; Minnesota’s 2021 first-round pick, top-three protected (if it does not convey, it becomes an unprotected 2022 first-round pick); Minnesota’s 2021 second-round pick.
