When Kevin Durant decided to leave Golden State in the 2019 offseason, the Warriors had an impossibly large hole to fill in their lineup. Instead of letting Durant walk for nothing in free agency, they made something out of nothing and executed a sign and trade that landed D’Angelo Russell – who was later flipped for Andrew Wiggins and a future first round pick.
