In the aftermath of losing their two-time Finals MVP, Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors orchestrated a deal with the Brooklyn Nets. While KD heads to Brooklyn, D’Angelo Russell will be on his way to the Warriors.
Taking this trade for its face value, it seems like a win for the Dubs. Rather than losing KD for nothing, they manage to snatch an All-Star player in return. However, with a deeper look into this move, many questions arrive.
For starters, just how good is Russell? Before last season he was on his way towards becoming a bust with the Los Angeles Lakers outright giving up on him.
