From the day D’Angelo Russell was acquired by the Golden State Warriors via a sign-and-trade from the Brooklyn Nets, it had been speculated that he had been acquired more for his value as a trade chip rather than as a long-term asset.
That speculation came to fruition as he was shipped to the Minnesota Timberwolves, along with second-year players Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman, for former number one overall pick Andrew Wiggins, a protected first-round pick in 2021, and a second-round pick in that draft.
Golden State has agreed to trade D'Angelo Russell to Minnesota for a deal that includes Andrew Wiggins, a 2021 protected first-round pick and a 2022 second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.
