Projected Warriors 2019-20 Starting Lineup After Trading for D'Angelo Russell

The Warriors may have lost Kevin Durant to free agency, but they maintained other key players while adding some very intriguing talents.

Klay Thompson is set to return on a five-year, $190 million deal, and the team added D'Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade with the Nets.

Here's how the Warriors' lineup could look after landing Russell.

5. PG: Stephen Curry

Curry is back for more as he enters the third year of his five-year, $201 million deal. The six-time All-Star and two-time MVP averaged 27.3 points per game on 47.2% shooting last season. As he enters his age-31 season, there's no reason to think he'll slow down.

4. SG: D'Angelo Russell

With Curry still running the show and Klay Thompson recovering from injury, the newly-acquired Russell will fill in at shooting guard. He averaged a career-high 21.1 points and 7.0 assists per game for the Nets last year, ultimately netting him a four-year, $117 million contract.

3. SF: Alfonzo McKinnie

McKinnie will take over at small forward now that Durant is in Brooklyn assuming the Warriors don't find a replacement elsewhere. He'll see a massive increase from the modest 13.9 minutes per game he averaged last season, and his 4.7 points 3.4 rebounds per game will also spike.

2. PF: Draymond Green

Draymond Green will continue to man the starting job at power forward. Widely considered the glue of the Warriors' scheme, the versatile Green gives the team teeth on defense. He averaged 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in the 2018-19 season. Green also provided 7.4 points and 6.9 assists per game on offense.

1. C: Kevon Looney

The 30th overall pick from the 2015 draft is set to take over starting duties as DeMarcus Cousins assesses his options elsewhere. Looney averaged 6.3 points and 5.2 rebounds while seeing fewer than 19 minutes per game last year.
