NBA transfer: Golden State Warriors reveal the first name that will leave the Lakers !

An important pillar has been considered by the Golden State Warriors to exchange, a move that shows that this team is ready to be active before the Trade Deadline this season.

Contrary to the trend over the past two years, the Golden State Warriors have now given the “green light” to an exchange deal surrounding former All-Star player Andrew Wiggins.

This information was just updated by Tim Kawakami, pro-Warriors journalist of the prestigious website The Athletic. Previously, Golden State did not want to trade Wiggins after the team extended the contract with this player.

But due to Andrew Wiggins’ unstable performance, plus the fact that he was in the same position with a young talent who is playing better, Jonathan Kuminga, the Warriors changed their decision.

Just two years ago, Andrew Wiggins was an All-Star player and one of the Golden State Warriors’ main scorers on their way to the 2021-22 championship season.

But since that peak, the Canadian player began to gradually decline over time. Immediately after receiving a contract extension, Wiggins missed a large part of last season due to personal issues.

This is understandable and supported by both the club and fans, but this season, Andrew’s performance is very unstable and shows no signs of improvement.

This year, Andrew Wiggins is having the worst season of his career

Through 27 games from the beginning of the season until now, Andrew Wiggins has averaged 12.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, along with a successful shooting rate of 42.6% FG and 29.9% 3PT.

This is the lowest scoring performance of the Canadian player’s entire career. The rebound index is also at its lowest level since 2017, when Wiggins had only been in the NBA for 3 seasons.

From being a “bargain” with a 4-year contract extension worth $110 million, Andrew Wiggins has now become a “bargain” when receiving an average of $27 million per year for less than 13 points per game.

Even worse for Wiggins was that he was just sent back to the reserve squad. He must make way for Jonathan Kuminga, who the coaching staff believes is a better and younger version of Wiggins.

At the present time, the Golden State Warriors are walking the line between rebuilding the squad and competing for the championship. A trade revolving around Wiggins would likely yield a pick or player that serves both of the above goals.
