NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Trade D’Angelo Russell And Top Pick For Close-To-Max Player

2 Min Read

The Golden State Warriors are having a rough year. Following the departure of several key players in free agency, and injuries to their backcourt duo, the Dubs have become a shell of their former selves this season, going just 9-31 in their first 40 games.

Still, it’s not all bad for the Warriors. Their struggles this campaign may help land them a lottery pick in the upcoming draft, which they could then flip into an All-Star level player.

“I think to me, the scary scenario if I am the rest of league, is what if Golden State finds a suitable trade partner for that pick and flips it to get another star? They can find a way to make it work financially and attach D’Angelo Russell’s contract plus the pick and get a close to max-level guy that to me is what is frightening—the fact that they kind recharge their team that way more so than draft a rookie. I don’t think there is anyone in this draft that is going to put the Warriors over the top.”

With Steph, Klay, and Draymond returning in peak form next season, they will be all-in on their pursuit of a title.

Instead of having to throw out a rookie, the Warriors could search for another star, dangling a potential #3 overall pick and D’Angelo Russell for a major, max-level star.

The possibilities are endless but one thing is for sure: the Warriors won’t be down for much longer.
