This wouldn't be a a conventional or the most obvious move this off season. Wiggins bounced back, but still likely doesn’t have much value. But if you break down his season, you see that he got back to where he needed.
His year started off terribly, with a strange off season and an unclear general personal situation lingering. But, his second half of the season shows plenty of reasons to be encouraged.
He was efficient (~58% or so TS) after January and his scoring kept trending up.
His defense started to look up and the Warriors generally played better across the board.
His contract isn’t great but also not bad. 15% of the cap for a good NBA wing is going to be a solid going rate for him.
This ain’t Plan A or anything, but likely could take his salary and Moses Moody for pretty much free right now to get the Warriors out of their troubles. If it’s trading an asset for a Kuzma level player or just grabbing Wiggins for free, I’d just get Wiggins.

Yo Moody is cool. This isn’t a bad idea man. Good post.
If he can return to his 21-22 season form, I’m all for it
Plus Wiggins is only 29 he’s def got a few good years left
Aren’t wig and embiid cool? Interesting
