Golden State Warriors most likely traded: Andrew Wiggins

If the Warriors make a late-offseason trade that improves their chances at an NBA Championship, it’s going to be Andrew Wiggins that is a casualty of the deal.

Wiggins is the only player on a max-value contract that could be traded. The Warriors aren’t trading Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry or Draymond Green, and they’ll need the cap space freed up that only a max-value contract can provide.

It would be sad to see Wiggins go though, and his improved play should make the Warriors think twice.

Wiggins hit career-high levels of efficiency both from the field and from three-point range this past season, truly stepping up as the team’s second-best scoring option alongside two-time MVP Stephen Curry.

No, Wiggins still isn’t worth over $30 million annually, but his contract is no longer quite as bad as originally thought. Trading a player that’s scored over 20 points in three of his seven seasons in the league is never easy, but it would more than likely be worth the Warriors’ efforts.
