D'Angelo Russell has to be sick of bouncing around at this point.

The man has gone from Ohio State to the Los Angeles Lakers to the Brooklyn Nets to the Golden State Warriors. And now, after the Dubs acquired him in a sign-and-trade with the Nets, they're reportedly already looking to move the star point guard.

Where will he go?

NBA insider Marc Stein said this on the "Dan Patrick Show" Monday morning, which doesn't necessarily come as a surprise considering everyone was wondering how D-Lo would fit in with the Warriors. They already have Steph Curry, and when Klay Thompson returns there's actually no room.

What are you going to do, have a max player come off the bench?

It was a smart move by the front office to get something in return for Kevin Durant because now they have an asset to offload and acquire something else they need. Russell was being eyed by a number of teams, including the Lakers, Timberwolves, Suns and others, so the Warriors will have plenty of suitors once these trade talks heat up.
