Andrew Wiggins IS Being Traded By The Golden State Warriors | Trade Rumors

Before this video starts I just wanted to take a few moments to acknowledge the passing of the Warriors assistant coach Dean movich this is a tragedy for his family the team and those within his immediate circle from day to day this is a huge blow to the Warriors franchise

And my hope is that everyone is able to recover and find peace he was a huge asset to the franchise not only for the skills he brought to impart upon the players but also who he was as a person may his soul rest in peace trade deadline rumors continue to engulf

The Golden State Warriors one of the latest rumors has the Warriors trading Andrew Wiggins to the Indiana Pacers hey what’s happening everyone this is Swiss culture the Pacers are a young team with one of the highest offensive ratings this season but they don’t exactly scream Championship Contender this is

Important because the Warriors are looking for win now pieces with a short window and outside of Miles Turner they’re aren’t really many players that the Warriors could wait the Pacers have Turner the Pacers have Turner so this actually becomes a very interesting trade one of the Warriors weaknesses or

Desires has been a stretch five that can protect the paint that means Turner could be a rather pivotal piece to Golden State turning the corner after falling 118 to 115 to an injured Blazers team without infer Simons or Shaden sharp in siakam’s debut they might just

Have to shake things up again by the deadline today’s video we’ll discuss the Warriors likely decision to move on from Andrew Wiggins where he could end up and what the team could get for him if that interests you be sure to like the video and subscribe to switch culture for the

Most analytical and entertaining NBA content on the planet so without further delay let’s get to it when the Warriors first got Andrew Wiggins Nick Wright went on ESPN and trashed the trade calling it one of the worst things that could have happened to Steph Curry’s career Andrew Wiggins was

Labeled a bust and with the possibility of Steph Curry going to an NBA Finals brought to absolute zero I would have expected Nick Wright to concede defeat and Proclaim Steph Curry the goat Wiggins is a bad basketball player he’s owed $95 million over the next 3 years starting next year it’s unspeakable they

Did this it’s over for them now we will never see Steph in another NBA Finals ever that obviously didn’t happen but what did happen should be giving Nick Wright Whiplash Wiggins went from Bust to number to a contender back to being well what everyone thought Wiggins was

In the first place but is what everyone said about Wiggins true and what’s really going on with Wiggins to Warrant the Warriors trading him let’s follow a timeline of event events here so Wiggins came to Golden State after the Warriors traded DLo to the Timberwolves the

Warriors had acquired DLo as a sign and trade deal when they sent Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets a deal that also netted the Warriors the Timberwolves first round pick in 2021 which they turned into Jonathan kaminga so Wiggins came in the aftermath of KD the team was

In shambles this was a midseason trade Kay is out for the year Steph is out for the year and things don’t look good the warriors were going to have to tank and see what they can get out of the draft with the second overall pick they selected James wisman the final piece to

The puzzle they thought with Steph clay Wiggins Draymond and wisman the dynasty could see a Resurgence and the Warriors could make a real run for at least a few more championships unfortunately that just wasn’t meant to be the only season that the warriors were truly competitive was 2022 despite winning the

Championship that was the year that started the ups and downs for Golden State everything was fine for Wiggins but certain States had mandatory vaccinations to remain employed in that state and California being one of them required that Wiggins be vaccinated to remain a part of Golden State or forfeit

Playing while Wiggins was happy about winning the championship he regretted getting that vaccination and felt he was under immense pressure from the franchise to get vaxed this was issue number one following the championship Draymond created a PR nightmare when he attacked Jordan pool who was really

Close with Wiggins at the time the front office didn’t even manage to give Draymond a slap on the wrist and what was once an atmosphere filled with immense pressure on the former number one overall pick now also became toxic a toxic environment mostly for the young players who due to having skimpy resumes

Compared to the big three have no voice in the locker room Wiggins having been added to the roster around on the same Thomas pool likely saw himself more aligned with the younger players even an outsider if you will the division between Curry clay Dre and the expectations of the young players drove

A wedge deep within the group they started the 2022 to 2023 season and writing the high of just resigning his contract Wiggins played well but shortly after he incurred an adductor injury early December something which took him out for a little over 3 weeks when he was duee for return however

He felt ill due to a non-co related sickness now you could take that verbatim as something non-related to covid or you could try to figure out how a person like Wiggins would view the sequence of events he’s mostly been a very reliable player and within months of getting a covid vaccine despite being

In his prime he’s more injured than he had ever been in his career in 2023 alone outside of his personal time away he’s been out with injury or illness seven times call him the glass man despite this he’s still more reliable than a Safelight glass warranty if you recently used safe

Flight and expect them to repair your windshield with their Nationwide warranty they sell you on just know this Andrew Wiggins has been more reliable for the Warriors this season than safe flight will be when it comes to replacing your windshield under their lifetime warranty he comes back from the

Illness and Wiggins was just not the same person he then took some Personnel time off from the team while keeping in regular their contact with the teammates I made a video that wiggins’s basketball career was likely over as this move was unprecedented and for the length of time

He took off it didn’t seem to me that Wiggins wanted to play basketball anymore much less for the Warriors he’d already reached the Pinnacle by becoming an All-Star as well as an NBA champion which exceeded the goal he set for himself prior to entering the league that goal was simply to achieve more

Than his dad whom we all know now was facing an illness which is why Wiggins took the time to be with his family it’s safe to say all of this has taken a toll on Wiggins and with averages of less than 12 points four rebounds and 1.3

Assists in 26 minutes almost a 50% reduction in performance it’s hard to picture the Warriors hardships without Wiggins being at the Forefront that being said I’ve discussed these issues in other videos so please check out some of my latest videos for more on the team issues all this being considered the

Warriors decided to put Wiggins on the tra block is the team is no longer confident it can get from Wiggins what they expected when they signed him the rumors have linked A Wiggins trade with the Indiana Pacers I keep hearing Andrew wiggins’s name there shout out anyone

Who wants to take that and put that on social media like I think Jonathan kaminga is also I mean I know Jonathan Kingo was also another Warriors player that the Pacers have been keeping tabs on and calling Golden State about dating back to last draft so those are two

Potential options I we talked about Pascal so what do the Pacers want with Wiggins it’s not so much Wiggins but what they could get if they take on wiggins’s contract namely Jonathan kaminga the Pacers have been asking about kaminga for at least a year and are likely looking to put him in their

Starting lineup alongside Tyrese halberton the Pacers are missing a dominant Wing that can get into the paint and score as well as guard the opposing team’s best player the Pacers have struggled defensively and if they can get these guys to buy in and give the effort necessary they could make

Some noise in the playoffs so what could interest the Warriors in a Pacer’s trade nothing less than Miles Turner in this simulation the Warriors receive Turner buddy heeld and a second round pick while the Warriors give up Wiggins kaminga gavon Looney and Cory Joseph of course this is relying on Chris Paul

Coming back from injury otherwise the Warriors could be stuck with a shortage of ball handlers what I like about this trade is that you could also combine it with the Hawks trade in the prior video and the war Warriors could start with a lineup of Curry Murray clay green and

Turner they would have to stagger Murray’s minutes to get him on the second unit to facilitate there’s no sense in keeping both tjd and capella that brings a new player onto the court the Toronto Raptors have recently parted ways with OG and sakam and are going

Into a bit of a rebuild shuder initially signed with the team due to the starting role but with this rebuild and him being pushed to the bench it’s safe to say he’s not happy with it he could come to the Warriors and facilitate for the second unit that would give him much

More exposure and a bigger shot at a salary next season he’s currently on a 13 million a year contract so if the Warriors sent the Raptors capella they could pick up schreuder Auto Porter Jr and Kim Birch this gives the Warriors a bench of shreer PODS gp2 Auto Porter Jr

And tjd these guys can all provide quality minutes on the floor and give the current timeline the best shot at winning a championship since the the Warriors need to have at least 14 spots on the roster the next four will be filled by shich Kim bur and Santos who

Are currently still on the roster and the team could pick up JTA who was just placed on waivers if the Warriors want to throw their entire support behind Steph Curry Klay Thompson and Draymond Green this is easily a better Supporting Cast than 2022 if ever there was a

Championship or bust this is what the Warriors would need in order to go For Broke if this team fails to win a championship ship the front office would have to do the unthinkable and start over alternatively the latest Rumor Has Golden State making yet another trade with Washington don’t get your hopes up

This isn’t for Jordan P the rumor has the Warriors trading Andrew Wiggins for Kyle kozma kuzma as you might know was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers where he was known for being a spark Off the Bench that can give you an easy 20 on any given night his major flaw was his

Lack of consistency and his lack ofical approach to defense he was traded to the Wizards a couple of years ago where he’s been placed in a starting role but much like the average citizen’s vote hasn’t had much luck getting anywhere in Washington at a full 6’9 the 28-year-old

Is averaging 22 points on 46% from the field while shooting 35% from three he also averages six rebounds and four assists per game all in 31 minutes while this isn’t exactly a championship contending move it does spark the Warriors offense something the team has struggled to find outside of Stephen

Curry the Warriors would more likely rely on his ability to space the floor and get downhill in transition as possible the team starts him at the small forward position between clay and Draymond Green but that would put even more defensive pressure on Draymond especially without the team having a

Point of attack Defender this also improves the team’s size pushing clay back to guarding the two with cavon Looney likely retaining the starting role at the five in that scenario it would be somewhat of a consolation move but considering the team hasn’t been getting a whole lot from Wiggins it

Might quiet down the noise in the fan base for the front office to show they’re at least making an effort on the other side of the coin Wiggins would be able to play with Poland Washington and we might even see how much of an impact the two will have playing with each

Other both could end up playing much better than they did at the start of the season if Wiggins turns it around and plays like 2022 Wiggins the Wizards easily win that trade the reports do say that the Wizards are willing to be facilitators so Wiggins might end up

Moving on from Washington and end up with the Dallas Mavericks he’s one of the players the Mavs are gunning for and while the Warriors would love to make a pass at Derek Lively II the Mavs aren’t exactly willing to part with their rookie Center although Tim Hardaway Jr

Is available and could slide into the small forward spot the Warriors would likely have him come off the bench and start Jonathan kaminga instead unless Steve KR has something to say about it Hardaway Jr is averaging 18 points in 30 minutes while shooting 30 36% from deep

And 42% from the floor both he and kozma would give the Warriors more than Wiggins offensively defensively the team hasn’t gotten much from Wiggins this season as he’s just riding on reputation right now so this would also improve however it wouldn’t be better than 2022 Wiggins that anomaly has pretty much

Vacated the premises let me know what you guys think of these trade options do you prefer either trade or would you rather keep Wiggins post your thoughts in the comments below but before that don’t forget to like the video subscribe to the channel and turn on all
