Glass half full, Durant stays in GS, then Kawhi stays in Toronto, so Russ goes to the Lakers....fucked anyway.

Fuck KAT's feelings though. It's his buddy who chose not to join him for the next 5 years.
This may not be true, its possible DLo chose us and we just weren't able to find anyone to take on Wiggs contract in time.

The Golden State Warriors will acquire D'Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade with the Brooklyn Nets, but he may not be a long-term part of their franchise.

"D'Angelo Russell does not fit there whatsoever," said Marc Stein of the New York Times on the Dan Patrick Show. "They just did not want to see Kevin Durant walk out the door with no compensation. ... They will trade him. It's just a matter of when."

Russell will receive a four-year, $117 million contract from the Warriors.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers also expressed interest in Russell.

Not too late to make it a 3-team deal?

Yeah, this is probably the most likely scenario. I don't think there were any solid rumors of interest in Wiggins. That contract has to be Glen's biggest mistake as owner... don't ya think?

My this is all part of Rosas’s Plan.

Wasn’t there a Twolves Tweet saying that can’t say anything until July 6.

Yup to replace Iggy. Also, did Iggy get shipped for talking about GS's medical staff or did he know he was getting traded so then he started talking last week?

What's too much to give from the Wolves perspective?

Why would we give RoCo for DLo? We'd need something else imo.

Yeah this is getting weird. It hasn’t even been officially announced yet as a done deal and reports are already coming out that GS will trade DLo? Wondering if this saga isn’t done yet...

That's what they would want I'm saying. Who knows what will happen, I just don't see Golden State keeping Russell longterm. It was all about getting something for Durant. Don't know why Russell doesn't know that but...

Idk, just thinking about this for shits.

My thought would be they lost Durant and Iggy and have Klay out for most of the year. They still have Curry & Draymond, but could use some wing play. Wiggins for salary matching/whatever...Cov to fill a need.

Is Wiggins playing like 4th fiddle there really much different than the alternate universe where they never get KD, but resign Barnes to a huge deal?

As I started saying back on Fri, I don't want to give up a ton in assets to trade for Russell, certainly not when he comes with a 4 yr $117M contract. That's way more than I thought he'd end up getting.

They aren't taking Wiggins. Roco+assets more likely.

I’ve only ever been tentatively on this Dlo bandwagon, and I think if it costs Covington to get it done, I’m off.

Sometimes a too-notch role player is more valuable than a marginal star. Russell would have to take another step forward to make this a worthwhile move.

I think I agree. When it was only Teague + filler, it was one thing, but now we're talking serious stuff and I think we need to show caution.

Eh, then I'd be out on it altogether.

You guys gotta admit though and I'm probably insane at this point, but my Wiggins logic makes sense for them. If anyone could turn him into a decent player or at least make him look decent, it's that team and the surrounding pieces. He'd have tons of room to operate with that much shooting around him.

That'd be my guess...but that's assuming they signed him only with the intention of trading him. Could just be a 1 year rental while Klay is out . RoCo would be their Iggy replacement.
