D'Angelo Russell will start alongside Stephen Curry when the Golden State Warriors open Chase Center in San Francisco this October.
Which...what?
Maybe the Warriors' acquisition of Russell, reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, shouldn't have been the biggest shock of free agency's chaotic first day. We'd heard rumblings of Golden State considering a sign-and-trade involving Kevin Durant for nearly a week. Maybe this was the obvious outcome.
At the same time, it never felt obvious. Even now, it's difficult to digest the complicated mix of costs and benefits to Golden State.
