When the Wolves traded Andrew Wiggins to the Warriors for D'Angelo Russell, they also traded a top-three protected first-round pick this season. It creates a bit of a weird dynamic between the Warriors and Wolves. By beating the Wolves, the Warriors help ensure the Wolves' record stays among the worst in the NBA.
When asked if it was something that was in the back of his mind during this two-game stretch with the Wolves, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said: "Yes, I'll be honest. … Why not?"
It might be something for the coaching staff and front office to think about, but Warriors forward Draymond Green said it wasn't exactly top of mind for the players.
