Wow. In spite of numerous reasons to hold onto D’Angelo Russell through the trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors have pulled the trigger on a deal to ship Russell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Andrew Wiggins.
The full trade includes Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman going to Minnesota with a 2021 first round and 2022 second-round pick being sent back to Golden State.
Warriors add: Andrew Wiggins, 2021 First Round, 2022 Second Round
Timberwolves add: D’Angelo Russell, Jacob Evans, Omari Spellman
On the surface, this trade appears to be a win-win.
