The Warriors finalized a blockbuster trade involving Kevin Durant.
Yes, it's true. No, they're not getting Durant.
Golden State played a small part in a historic seven-team trade centered around the Houston Rockets acquiring the 15-time NBA All-Star from the Phoenix Suns.
The Warriors received the draft rights to Australian forward Alex Toohey, whom they selected with pick No. 52 after a draft-night trade with Phoenix, and Tennessee guard Jahmai Mashack, who, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Dalton Johnson, will be re-routed to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of their second draft-night trade to acquire the rights to Florida guard Will Richard, whom they selected with the No. 56 pick.
Full clarification after talking with some people: As part of today’s 7-team trade, the Warriors added Alex Toohey and Jahmai Mashack. Toohey stays, but Mashack will be sent to the Grizzlies so the Warriors can acquire the draft rights to Will Richard @NBCSWarriors

The complex trade is the first in NBA history to include seven teams, beating the then-record-setting blockbuster that sent Warriors icon Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in a sign-and-trade deal last summer.
Unlike that trade, where the Warriors acquired proven veteran players Kyle Anderson from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Buddy Hield from the Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State only received two draft prospects in this blockbuster.
