Things Aren’t Looking Good for Andrew Wiggins



Things Aren’t Looking Good for Andrew Wiggins

The Mavericks were begging to lose a game on Wednesday Luca and Kyrie were awful two of 11 from three but without Stephen Draymond the only Warrior who puts the ball in the basket reliably is 21-year-old Jonathan kaminga everyone else is a disaster including two Champion Allstars at least Klay Thompson

Has an excuse 34 years old two devastating injuries Andrew Wiggins healthy and in his prime at 29 years old what happened well it goes back to when he disappeared for a personal Family Matter last year since then he has been a shell of himself and just when it

Looked like he was starting to come back it happens again wigs left the team for a Family Matter 2 weeks ago so the real question how far can the Warriors go now without a focus Andrew Wiggins and I hate to even ask this but what happened it’s probably none of our business but

Warrior fans are curious they’re just afraid to say it out loud how could they not be something bad happens that sucks the talent from your second best player imagine if that happened to any other team what happened but even if the Warriors are struggling for a 10 seed

It’s still fun to watch their games with a little Underdog my favorite game is pick them you pick higher lower on your favorite players or whatever game you’re going to watch that night you can up to 20 extra money on a single night so let

Me give you my two picks first up we’re going to go with Kade Cunningham higher on two threes made he has hit this in both times against the Heat and he actually made four threes in each of those games next we’re going to go to Emanuel quickley his rebounds and

Assists are at 12 and a half we’re going to go less than he’s playing against the Orlando Magic who have an amazing defense and they don’t allow a lot of rebounds or assists and best of luck if you are tailing those picks also if it’s your first time signing up you get a

Promo code am Hoops well the Warriors and wigs refused to say but last year sham said the reason for wiggin’s leave of absence since mid-February is that his father Mitchell Wiggins has been dealing with a serious medical situation sources say which is extremely sad but then an anonymous player told the

Athletic what he’s dealing with is some real and Paul Pierce tweeted please tell me that Andrew Wiggins rumor not true which of course only makes people more Curious and yeah there’s some rumor about his wife cheating or something nothing is confirmed but some diard fans are saying quietly yeah I’m

Curious I mean I dedicate part of my life to this team do they have a right to know why don’t they just say father health condition or something the mystery just keeps it in the news cycle other people say why do you care it’s none of our business and I agree with

Both points actually I get being curious if it’s your team but also it is none of our business whatever is going on has distracted wigs for 2 years and turned him from an All-Star teammate to a shell of himself so some fans want answers I understand that but what if that answer

Is actually sad but even if it is something sad some fans are running out of patience for Andrew Wiggins wigs has a long reputation of being soft players throughout the league and in real life deal with personal issues all the time and yet attend to their professional obligations if nothing else he shouldn’t

Get paid a cent for sitting out that is super harsh but does he have a point one tragic example was when Isaiah Thomas’s sister chy died in a car accident one day before the playoffs despite the loss he chose to show up and play visibly grieving Isaiah had one of the best

Playoff games of his career dropping 33 points now obviously the postseason is much more important than the regular season but it didn’t miss a single game everyone copes with personal issues differently but I have a feeling that if it wasn’t Andrew Wiggins fans wouldn’t be this harsh he was hyped as the next

LeBron coming out of high school and showed flashes of Brilliance winning rookie of the year but a narrative started to emerge people doubted wigs work ethic and commitment his scoring numbers were great but it was inefficient and didn’t translate to wins he was bad on defense despite the talent

Super frustrating to see a guy with all the physical gifts who does not live up to it so to fix their problem Minnesota brought in a blue colar star Jimmy Butler but after one year of being wigs teammate Jimmy said he was an Elite Talent Wasted by a lack of dedication

I’m not the most talented player on our team who’s the most talented cat who’s the most god- gifted player on our team wigs but who plays the hardest me I play hard eventually the Wolves gave up on wigs and he was traded to Golden State where his reputation turned around his

Nickname during the 2022 title run was two-way wigs cuz he finally lived up to his potential but it didn’t last long and these harsh fans remember the six years before Golden State now I’m not saying that they are correct to call him out like that I’m just explaining where

Their frustration is coming from but even if they don’t have a focused Andrew wiggin something is different about this year’s team they will miss him a lot less because of the evolution of their roster the season started great at 6-2 Steph was playing like an MVP but it

Quickly fell apart the main problems Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins clay was forcing his game trying to prove he’s still the Old Clay which he’s not wigs came into the year out of shape and had career lows in points assists and rebounds then Draymond gets suspended

The whole year is a mess but right when it looked totally gone several things happened at once to save their season first Jonathan kaminga complained about his role which led to more minutes and he took off dude has one or two plays a night that take your breath away clay

Got benched for a rookie cuz Brandon Pinsky has been that good Draymond came back and proved how important he is to this team But Here Comes moody in the first game without Andrew Wiggins Moses started and dropped an efficient 12 points with good defense in New York the

Next game 17 efficient points to win 11 of their last 13 games yes they got smashed by the Celtics but the Warriors aren’t that bad obviously the real question how far can they go this year without a focused Andrew Wiggins whatever he’s dealing with is obviously a huge distraction I hope he pulls

Through but are they good enough this year to make noise in the west it all comes down to seeding the dubs are ninth so realistically a team and best case is the seven seed that means in round one they would play either the Wolves Thunder or nuggets Denver is a horrible

Matchup they lose easily but the other two I think are winnable the next round the winner of the 36 matchup even more likely to face Denver so I think the dub ceiling is the second round again which sounds horrible but is a blessing in disguise the dubs might not have a focus

Wiggins but they will get clarity we will get to see these final 20 plus games if the young guys really are ready to win can kaminga pods and Moody keep this level in high pressure playoff games do the Warriors actually have a legit number two behind Steph if not

Wigs 26 million contract will be used in a trade they kept him at the trade deadline and wig started to play well that could give teams hope that he could rebound again with a change of scenery with that and one of the young guys who

Is not ready they could make a big time trade players to Target Mel Bridges Jeremy Grant both big two-way Wings Kyle kosma Bruce Brown not quite the ceiling but very good role players like Dorian finny Smith and Alex cruso or Stars whose team wants to move on for the

Right price like Carl Anthony towns or lri marinan something has been off about Andrew Wiggins since they won the title they weren’t going to win this year anyway but this could provide Clarity for the next big move to extend Steph’s window but we already have Clarity on

Who is winning NBA Rookie of the Year unless there’s a big injury Victor wanyama won this thing when he beat Chad holgren the other night but wimy specifically wants to beat Chet because of some personal beef that goes back to something that happened years ago

Andrew Wiggins looked like he was turning a corner this year when another personal family matter pulled him away from the team. The 29 year old former All-Star looks like a shell of himself once again and while some Warrior fans want to know what happened, all of them want to know how far the team can go without a focused Wiggs this year.

  1. Just got to pray for Wiggs. Dear Lord please comfort Wiggs. Give him comfort and peace in his trial that you have him in your hands. Restore his confidence. Release the weight he is carrying. Help channel his energy for good
    In Christ's name.

  2. I believe it's the seemingly toxic behind the scenes GS environment that is wearing in AW. Plus, he was scapegoated by Kerr early in the season and taken out of the starting lineup when the issues were bigger than just AW. Plus, his best friend on the ream was Jordan Poole. I think a change of scenery will do wonders for his game… Toronto anyone?

  3. Wife cheating is what I suspected from the beginning. He's not trying to advertise that. I'm glad you mentioned that because I hadn't actually heard that from anywhere before.

  4. He isn't talented as we thought in the first place. He looks good because he surrounded by talents like steph at that time so the defense aren't focus on him. Same as jordan poole.

  5. It just shows how bad Steve Kerr is at developing young talent. As soon as Kerr gave Kuminga consistent playing time he is all of a sudden good? If kuminga would have been drafted to any other team he would be a star by now.

  6. So, who else remembers when Larry Sanders and D-Rose leave the team for some personal reasons more than once? If anyone says that every player deals with personal issues and still plays, is being entitled to a point of wanting to force Wiggins to play through personal matters.

  7. The NBA is a very though world; They hire young players that have the body of a gladiator but the maturity of teanagers and heart of a child. At one side, they earn more and more money but they liquidity of the market is such that all players are subject to trading rumors every two year. I believe that this excess of money and distraction, combine with the fact that there are transfer all the time and social media pressure is fraglizing them mentally. The need more stability; in the past, fragile dudes like Rodman was considering Pistons as a second family and Daily as his substation father; look what he became when this cell exploded. Same for Barkley: it was a very though moment when Malone & DrJ Left. In today's NBA, veterans and coachs are virtually killing players: Look what Rivers & Embiid did to Simmons, Look at Poole, now. The future of NBA will be made of post 94 Nick Anderson, I m afraid.

  8. "some fans are running out of patience with Andrew Wiggins" Wow man the fact that you guys not realise how ridiculous you sound makes Ceasar very proud, gullible masses get a life

  9. Wiggins is a man and he has obligations to his teammates. He also makes big bucks and fans have shelled out $$$ for ticket plans. Coddling Wiggs isn't helping him. Once? Sure. Twice nope. He certainly doesn't have things as tough as those living in nations with civil unrest and wars. Deal him as he is hurting his team at this point.

  10. Klay is not a starter anymore… Wiggins needs to give up is spot until his mind is right again… Kaminga and Moody can pick up the slack easily!

  11. Andrew wiggins's Identical twin took his spot when he went home for the "family issue" 100% accurate

  12. I think this really goes into how much of a disconnection there is with mental health if he was hurt physically I think everyone would have a different tone I think players should be allowed personal games or time a week or a number of games at any point in the season where they can take time for themselves

  13. Obviously I’m speculating, but I wonder if he’s in a major depressive episode. It would make sense in a lot of ways. I feel bad for him, because clearly there’s something off about him.

  14. HELL NO to Kuzma and KAT. No way do i want them at Golden State. Moody should not be a part of any trade to help unload Wiggins or Klay…but I'd part with Moody if it included Wiggins AND Klay.

  15. Should've traded Wiggins during trade deadline! Warrior's would've had a shot for championship contenders! 😢😢

  16. Regular people must go to work and do their job, but he has been dealing with it for 2 years! and earning huge millions! He should resign from millions or do what he is paid for.

  17. It all went South when Draymond punched his good friend Jordan. Wiggs and Jordan were close. When nothing was done he lost respect for the Warriors. Let Wiggs and Looney go to a team that respects and supports them.

  18. Head case…we all have personal problems. I was suspect when it was reported he slammed his hand in the car door. How many people do that.

  19. I think it’s more unusual to act like nothing’s happening than to confront the reality of the matter at hand. If they can maintain the motivation to keep this shrouded in secrecy they need to find the same motivation to do what’s best for the team and put Moody in the starting lineup. Personally, I’d send him home to handle his business until he can properly focus on his job. Inserting Moody back as a starter would help the younger core gain some much needed playoff game experience in preparation for a serious playoff run next season.

    RIP Nathan Barrett, prayers for his brother RJ and their family 🙏
