No sooner had the Warriors’ acquisition of all-star guard D’Angelo Russell been public than the speculation began, with reporters as established as Marc Stein floating thinly sourced reports that the acquisition was nothing more than an asset play, that Russell would be shortly flipped for parts that fit the team better.
This idea has gained a lot of traction, based on, as far as I have been able to tell, no actual reporting and the idea that Russell and Curry are both “point guards” and thus can’t really play together.
This analysis is, in my opinion, wrong.
