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.
ESPN's Shams Charania outlined the full seven-team trade:
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.
