Brooklyn signs quickly on first day of free agency Kyrie Irving, which means D'Angelo Russell"Forced" to leave the place where he made his fortune; however, before the end of the first day in the United States, "Wojnarowski" Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Golden State Warriors dropped a shock bomb for the league: they traded Russell in a sign-and-trade manner. He has also become the Warriors' new "fourth giant" and temporarily replaced the injured Klay ThompsonThe status of "Spray Brothers".

But wait! Warriors fans, don't think too far ahead. It may be difficult to see the "Three Wave Brothers" performing on the same stage! New York Times reporter Marc Stein pointed out on the morning after the market opened that Russell was not suitable for the Warriors:
"D'Angelo Russell is not a good fit for Golden State at all. They (the Warriors) just don't want to watch Kevin Durant leave and end up with nothing. (...) They will trade Russell, it's just a matter of time."
The Warriors earlier agreed to sign a four-year, $117 million max contract with Russell. In the deal, they also acquired Shabazz Napier and Treveon Graham to match the salary.

However, before next season starts, will Russell be able to fit in? Stephen Curry as well as Klay Thompson, it is indeed worth thinking about. However, Thompson will definitely miss most of the season next season. Russell, paired with Curry, who is also very good at running without the ball, should not be maladaptive due to too little possession of the ball. Therefore, if there is no definite sign, it is directly concluded that Russell will be sent away by the Warriors. , perhaps a little too arbitrary.
However, the Warriors are not without the possibility of follow-up operations. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers are both interested in the star guard -- especially Minnesota, which is rumored to have a package ready to compete for Russell -- even if they don't have enough cap space. It is reasonable to infer that the Warriors may find a third team to sell DAR, which is in high demand, and the Lakers or Timberwolves will have a second chance to make their dreams come true.
Just don't think it's going to happen so quickly. Although Stein said that "it's just a matter of time," the Warriors will have to wait until December 15 at the earliest, after Russell's trade ban is lifted, before they can trade again. Therefore, Russell still has a high possibility of wearing the Warriors jersey!
