For one, it's Minnesota that's pushing for it, not the Warriors.

Second, it would, like you said, have to be for a package that includes like 3 or 4 first round picks. From what I understand (and you'd probably know better), this draft is pretty thin. So I don't know what like a total of five first round picks would even get you. Especially since next season they're going to be in "win now" mode.

It's a given that they're eventually going to trade Russell. But the talk has been that it's going to be in the off-season, packaged with the draft pick (which will be top 4). And in that case, since the Warriors will be in "win now" mode, it'll be for someone who we don't know about yet. Some wing or big man on a play-off team or team that just missed the play-offs who decides that they want a change of scenery.
