The Golden State Warriors decided to involve themselves in some NBA history.

They’re officially a part of the seven-team trade that sends Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets. It’s the biggest trade in the league’s history.

The deal went through on Sunday afternoon, when the league’s moratorium period ended and allowed agreed-upon transactions to be pushed through.

In the deal, Golden State just picked up the draft rights to two players, Alex Toohey and Jahmai Mashack.

They sent the draft rights of Koby Brea to the Suns.

The Warriors didn’t play a key role, really. It’s not as big a day in the franchise’s history as when they signed KD in free agency from the Thunder.

But it’s a cool piece of history. There are 23 NBA teams who weren’t involved in this milestone on Sunday. But the Warriors were one of the seven who were.
