Several pieces were on the move in a blockbuster trade centered around D’Angelo Russell and Andrew Wiggins, but one player stands at the true winner after the trade deadline. That player is Wiggins, who has a bright future with the Golden State Warriors once they are at full strength.
When Russell was acquired by the Warriors last offseason, immediate speculation was that he would soon be traded. The guard was not going to be a proper fit alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and it was only a matter of time before he was on the move.
