I love it for the Warriors:

1. They have proven they can manage sensitive fragile egos (Durant) and now they can apply those skills to building up fragile Wiggins.
2. They get a top 3 pick in 2020 and pick 4-7 in 2021.
3. So many good centers floating around, to be had for peanuts.

Built to win in 2021, and simultaneously have a shot at rebuilding for the long-term also.

EDIT: And the 2nd round pick in 2022 is the first year when HS players can be drafted, so it will probably be a great pick too! :nod:

This is literally best case scenario.

I'll eat crow and say that I thought it would take a lot more.

Russell
Beasley
Culver
Hernangomez
Towns

+ a top 5 pick.

Not bad, not bad at all.

That's pretty bad... all of them are one-dimensional/have serious deficiencies at something

Should of done that with Russell then who is a better player


Has Russel ever played on any team that has won anything? Even a team that's won 30 games? There's a bit of emptiness to that as well.


Getting the Nets to the playoffs and being a all star was pretty big and it’s not like he’s having a bad season now

Might be a pretty decent return for the Dubs, hasn’t Wiggins improved a bit?

Dlo was traded to Dubs

Honestly it's alot better than they were a few days ago. At least they have some hope to build around Towns and maybe the vultures will back off a little bit now.

Durant was gone anyways. They salvaged Durant for Russell. Then flipped Russell into Wiggins and draft compensation.

They probably didn't think this deal would happen

That is 100% my guess as well, which is immensely unfortunate.

Still a net win!

I thought the Warriors built a new stadium that prints money? This trade proves that ownership wanted to get under the luxury tax. I feel bad for anyone who got swindled and bought PSL + season tickets in the new stadium

When at the beginning of the season, people said the Dynasty is over I laughed. Now I'm just sad. :(

It looks like he's improved, because he actually got worse in his fourth and fifth seasons. Basically, he's back up to the level he was at in 2016, his second year in the league, when he was 20 years old.

What is GS thinking? They took on a 100+ million dollar paperweight for a pick that is two years away? I don’t get it

protection is just top 3 in 2021? that's awesome for the gsw. as minnesota is unlikely to make the playoffs, it could even be the 4th pick.

The Warriors have just got a #1 pick at his lowest value and probably want to build his value up to either trade or keep him.

Buy low, sell high.

Remember some were saying Draymond would turn WCS into a serviceable player?

The Beijing Ducks' defense is probably better than the Wolves' ....whatever they have at the moment
