The Golden State Warriors are gearing up for a major shakeup as they look to revamp their roster and make another championship run. NBA insider Evan Sidery has reported that the Warriors are actively shopping veteran forward Andrew Wiggins in trade talks this offseason.
Wiggins, who still has $84.7 million remaining on his contract over the next three years, is seen as expendable due to the emergence of young talent like Jonathan Kuminga. The Warriors are looking to offload Wiggins to bring in better fitting pieces to complement their star player, Stephen Curry.
Since arriving in Golden State, Wiggins has shown flashes of brilliance, transforming from an erratic shooter to an efficient scorer and lockdown defender. However, a series of off-court issues and a regression in performance last season have made him a potential trade asset for the Warriors.
Despite his ups and downs, Wiggins proved his worth during the Warriors’ championship run a couple of years ago, where he was a key contributor alongside Curry. The Warriors will need to be strategic in their approach to trading Wiggins, ensuring they get the right pieces in return to bolster their roster for another title push.
As the Warriors look to make a surprising decision with Wiggins, NBA fans will be eagerly watching to see how this trade saga unfolds and what impact it will have on the team’s championship aspirations.
