Warriors Acquire D'Angelo Russell, Trade Iguodala
It didn't take long for the Warriors to move on from Kevin Durant. The team is reportedly acquiring Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade deal.
According to reports, the Warriors will sign Russell to a 4-year, $117 million max contract. The 23-year-old had become expendable with the Nets poised to sign both Durant and Kyrie Irving.
To clear up salary cap space for the Russell contract, the Warriors traded Andre Iguodala to the Grizzlies.
