Ok, I wasn’t going to write another blog tonight, but seeing this news, I have to write about this. D’Angelo Russell is on his way to Golden State in a sign-and-trade deal for Kevin Durant. D’Angelo Russell is signing a 4 year/$117 million dollar contract to play for Golden State who just got Klay Thompson back on their team. Holy cow, this is crazy to type about right now.

NO ONE saw this coming at all. Russell was interested in many teams like the Suns, Timberwolves, Lakers, Magic, and others. But Russell goes off the charts and signs with Golden State. This was like when Demarcus Cousins signed with Golden State, and Kevin Durant the year before, it’s crazy. Now the Warriors will still have four all stars on their team.

I thought that when the Warriors lost Kevin Durant, the Warriors were going to go back to back to where they were before they acquired Durant, but now the Warriors are still going to one of the favorites in Golden State. This move has to make Warriors fans feel a lot better after losing Durant.

I’m just trying to figure out, how is this going to work though? Is he going to come into the starting line up? Is he going to be the point guard and move Curry to a shooting guard? Is Russell going to be the shooting guard? Is he going to be the sixth man? I don’t know how this is going to work! I’m not sure how their team is going to be now with adding Russell, but it should be interesting.

Do I think that D’Angelo Russell is a good player? Yes he is a good player, but is he going to be the same player like he was in Brooklyn last year? No. I don’t think that he is going to be putting up those same numbers, but he will definitely be a great third scoring option for the Warriors behind Curry and Thompson.

What is kind of somewhat sad and cold move that the Warriors had to do was trade away one of their key members to their past championship teams, Andre Iguodala. Not only they traded away Iguodola, they traded him away to Memphis. I am sure that he will want to have a buy out for his contract, no one wants to play in Memphis as they are rebuilding.

Now the Lakers HAVE to get Kawhi Leonard or else their offseason plans to get rid of a lot of players for cap space isn’t really working. Which I’m really hoping that things don’t work out for the Lakers and that deal for Anthony Davis comes back and bites them in the butt. Sorry I just had to say it LOL.

I’m going to leave you with this Steph, Klay, Draymond and now D’Angelo.

D’Angelo Russell is now a member of the Golden State Warriors.

We still got Kemba! Go Celtics!
