Kevin Durant made the Warriors sweeten the sign-and-trade for D’Angelo Russell
Within Brian Windhorst's free-agency deep dive for ESPN is an interesting nugget: Kevin Durant forced the Golden State Warriors to add a protected first-round pick to the sign-and-trade deal that sent him to the Brooklyn Nets for D'Angelo Russell. That pick, according to Windhorst, will be conveyed as a first-rounder to the Nets if the Warriors register one of the NBA's 10 best records next year, or else it will turn into a second-rounder in the middle of next decade — when Durant will be approaching his 37th birthday and presumably working on his next contract. Weird.
