Report: Warriors get Russell on $117M max in sign-and-trade with Nets
The Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a sign-and-trade deal for current restricted free agent D'Angelo Russell, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Russell will get a reported four-year, $117-million max contract. The Warriors will also acquire Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier as part of the sign-and-trade and will move the two guards and cash to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources told Wojnarowski.
Golden State will send a future protected first-round pick to Brooklyn.
Veteran Andre Iguodala and his $17.1-million salary next season have been dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies to clear cap space for Russell, sources told Wojnarowski.
The sign-and-trade circumstance evolved after former Warrior Kevin Durant committed Sunday to the Nets. Brooklyn could have also renounced its rights on Russell to make him an unrestricted free agent.
