New Acquisition D’Angelo Russell Posts Instagram Story Wearing Warriors Garb

D’Angelo Russell left the Brooklyn Nets to join the Golden State Warriors. He was traded to the team, and he is more than happy to wear his new colors in public.

Russell wore a Warriors hoodie, and let’s just say that he is happy to join his third different team in his four-year career.

“The Golden State Warriors have acquired guard D’Angelo Russell, along with guard Shabazz Napier and forward Treveon Graham, in a sign-and-trade transaction that sent free agent forward Kevin Durant and a protected first round draft pick to the Brooklyn Nets, the team announced today. Per team policy, teams of the agreement were not announced.

“Russell, 23, owns career averages of 16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.16 steals and 28.5 minutes in 272 games with 224 starts over four seasons with Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers. Last season, the guard made his first All-Star appearance and helped lead the Nets to the playoffs for the first time since the 2014-15 season after averaging a career-high 21.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.23 steals and 30.2 minutes in 81 games. In five postseason contests, he averaged 19.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.40 steals in 29.6 minutes. Selected with the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell spent one season at Ohio State, averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists and 33.9 minutes in 35 games.”

Warriors President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Bob Myers made a statement on the newly acquired player.

“We’re excited to add a player of D’Angelo’s ability to our roster. He’s coming off an All-Star season with the Nets and we feel, at the age of 23, his best basketball is certainly ahead of him in regards to his career trajectory. And, as Joe said earlier this week, we’re thankful to Kevin for the incredible things he did for our team and franchise during his three years with the Warriors. We wish him the best moving forward.” The Warriors lost Durant and Andre Iguodala. Stephen Curry will have to take care of the team on its own.
