The Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors are close to an agreement to swap D’Angelo Russell for Kevin Durant via a rare double sign-and-trade, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The deal is all but done, with the Warriors working on the structure of the final trade.
Russell will get a four-year, $117 max deal from the Nets and be traded to the Warriors, who will re-sign Kevin Durant to a four-year deal for slightly less than the $164 million maximum for him and trade him to Brooklyn.
Durant and Kyrie Irving will reportedly take less than the max available to allow the Nets to also add DeAndre Jordan on a four-year, $40 million deal.
