An Interesting Trade Proposal For Andrew Wiggins



An Interesting Trade Proposal For Andrew Wiggins

there’s rumors to SFGate which is always looking for rumors I don’t SFGate is becoming like the national Inquirer my uncle’s been on that for a decade what sfk yeah my Uncle Jim he just thinks it’s just total crap I mean he goes I used to pay and we all did I paid for it forever and he reads more of it than I I read the sports section and I know the sports section is Getting Thinner and thinner and thinner and thinner and when I’m at the club like for example I’m going to go get a shake today like oh I see a sport I pick it up I look at it there was radio hosts that would literally could not do a show without the sports section am I wrong no you’re not wrong you’re not wrong but SF Gate I’m I’m really I’m really down and I know who runs it I’m not going to say her name because I don’t want to rip him I like the kid I like him a lot but it’s twice now I seen thatf gate aggregate us what they what do we do now well well one we were talking about Buster posy you know hey what if he’s a meder oh yeah yeah like hit hit piece these radio host are talking about Buster posy Earth to the radio host they not hiring Buster posy not going to be do we do the Sports Talk Show we’re having some fun and it generated the most giant calls we had in a all time yeah second time just happened a couple weeks ago we had Ricky Pierce all on yeah and we talked to him for 20 minutes and their big takeaway was radio hosts tell Ricky Piera not to say s Frank it’s Frisco I don’t and it’s like but I don’t care but then don’t DM me saiding hey thanks for the content it’s like and I reply going wait that’s all you get out of the 20-minute Ricky pierus on that’s what you got out of it and then nothing back so we’re just you know big time agreat so the latest I bring that up because a big headline today is an actual realistic Warriors trade scenario leaks Andrew wigets to his own team the Minnesota t-wolves read me the rest of this package who are we getting Anthony Edwards uh yes that’s NBA Insider Jake wbach offering I don’t even know J wagw is NBA Insider but and it’s not the L team you thinking of it’s not Minnesota T was actually the Cleveland Cavaliers he didn’t even play for that I know but Wick’s going to the Cavaliers for Jared Allen it is a realistic Pathway to Jared Allen coming to the go to State Warriors wow for Andrew Wiggins that’s all you get for Andrew Wiggins and I like Jared Allen but I kind of got the same thought that’s it that’s it not a pick Hey Jake you’re not that inside maybe Jared Allen what what else is going on out housee trade so how does this work with outside this is where I want to get with Sid sometimes cuz these insiders let’s talk about all these tray packages like how do you know if you’re not in the facility and you’re not in the War Room you’re not sitting next to these GMS are you texting the GM are you texting the agents how do you know what this team wants and because it is lion season in the NBA we’re going to hear all these rumors about this guy going this place and this guy get traded here and there can we agree it’s not the way Moneyball portrayed it in the movie no hey sa saves I’ll give you this left click keep him on hold we’ll get to that guy call them like no that’s not how it’s working but but I I listened to David Samson explained this about Ronald aunia and I know you hate David Samson he ran the Marlins for a long time and he said the second weekly David Samson drop I know the second aunia went down the GM for Atlanta got a thousand texts and calls like hey you want to write Fielder I got a right fielder because everybody wants to jump on a team that they feel they can get over on no doubt right in those situations now I think personally these conversations happen all the time I think that for example Mike Dunley I’m not going to use any names but Mike Dunley knows who’s available from just about every team in the league they kind of have a feel you put feelers out there we all do all right and then you’re saying well what about this guy what about that guy what about these and these combinations and you’re going back and forth and I think having those conversations is one thing that doesn’t mean so and so’s on the trade block like I just don’t view it that way for example when John Lynch said he called bich and was like yo what’s up with Tom Brady like it was like hey let’s just see you know what I mean I think those happen all the time why not why not send a text why not send a phone phone uh make a phone call don’t you yeah absolutely what’s going on when I was in fantasy baseball now I’m out of the league with the guys they’re like when are you coming back never uh not way you guys did a a founding member of this league I’ll never forget that but I would just text and make phone calls hey is this guy available is that guy available you need this you need that that’s how my brain operates so anyway uh Jared Jared Allen is look is he an upgrade I don’t know but he does feel a need you get rib protection you get a rim Runner you get a guy who could duck on your head why is Cleveland getting rid of him well they were saying reports were that they were not happy with him missing the series against the um Boston Celtics so we’re taking a guy who missed the series for a guy he said they said basically that we don’t believe his rib agery really kept him out okay for a guy he should have gutted it out that had two absences from the Warriors so we’re trading theirs for this all right I mean I understand you’re going to have a trade where like you’re getting back something that has some flaws the last thing I want to hear is ah he kind of didn’t really want to play well that’s the reports that’s just what they were saying we don’t know how serious that R majury was and we saw speaking of rib injuries we saw Wiggins in that Lakers series in game six of that he couldn’t move that Rim injury was apparently it impacted his offseason workouts because he wasn’t wasn’t able to work out like he wanted to because of the rim injury so Jared Allen real quick I always find it hard to say like so and so should play through it it’s like you don’t know what their pay that’s basically what I’m saying yeah I I don’t like when people do that Jared Allen 26 years old this past season he Aver 16 and a half points 10 rebounds two and a half assist and a block shot per game shot 63% from the floor 74% for the free throw line he’s not a bad free throw shooter so wi gets for Jared Allen what’s his contract look like where’s Jared Allen’s money at what kind of money is he making CU now I’m actually getting intrigued with this move well I’d make the move but you got to do more like and what are the other moves that you’re Mak no doubt you you obviously have to do more that’s not Jared Allen’s not gonna get you from a 10 seed to a championship nobody I don’t think anybody saying that but I have heard a lot of rhetoric about Andrew Wick saiding man maybe just moving them is best for the team Jared Allen has a $20 million cap hit for the 2425 and 2526 season and then he’s a free agent oh so two more so you’re taking one less year than the Wiggins okay I’m in for that you’re in for that right as long as we’re not surrendering picks yeah 20 million this year this upcoming season I mean i’ like more for him but yeah but hey 40 million on his deal as opposed to what 73 Plus on wiggin deal not bad not bad you get bigger now you got a runway for kiga maybe at the three or if you move kiga you go get another three I don’t know but that’s not a bad move not million really quick sorry uh so Wiggins has 26 million next year 28 million the next year and then he has a player option for 26 27 that’s 30 million Hey listen he’s already opted into to that player option that is done all right you think he’s opted out get new money that is done he signed that baby yesterday I’m already in I’m in I love wigs man Jared Allen I’m GNA just I’m gonna be 100% truthful I don’t see how Jared Allen helps you defend against Kyrie and Luca I don’t see how Jared Allen helps you defend against the Denver Nuggets necessarily it definitely helps you you better have a better Defender stopping an Edwards well you have a better Defender at least you got somebody at The Rim where you have to think twice about oh maybe I won’t throw it up I mean maybe I won’t go to the rim he’s a solid player he’s solid I mean he’s solid but what did wigens give you last sure I mean you know what I’m saying yeah but even even on his worst day I could throw him on somebody and at least make a guy work on the perimeter like to me perimeter defense and a legit number two in terms of uh a two guard like they need that guy I I’m I’m with it but maybe they see Jonathan Kamika being that guy okay and he defends the rib I mean JK he went from being a four a small ball five a three and now we’re sliding him to the two no put him about to three okay but he’s going to guard you got yeah you could guard twos you guard threes maybe but that’s just a first move that’s just another Domino but I listen Jared Allen I’m not mad at that if that’s all that’s available I don’t think Warrior fans think that’s even close to enough so we’re not I didn’t say that I don’t think I don’t think we but a lot of Warrior fans want to move off of wicked right yes this is what you want to do but I think we think similar to to to Jordan P I think we value the player as a trade chip higher than what we’re receiving off of last season what the hell do we think we’re going to if you want to trade Andrew Wiggins well this is where you staple first round picks to him do you want to do that well no but if for the right guy Andrew Wiggins last year all right and I just gave you the numbers with have points a game it was 13.2 points a game four and a half rebounds one assist and get this he did shoot 75% for the free throw line he did I think this the best of his career how many games did he play 55 played last year he played 71 games that many played 71 games last wow in my mind he played way less um 75% free throw shooter uh the best seasons he ever had for the free throw line was his first two seasons of The League Monte those are all career like everything else besides free throws is career lows yeah I know all right and like so like he was so bad in those 71 games I thought he played 55 that’s told you the story when I took my m to the Knicks game in late second quarter I was like we at just [Laughter] playing I’m locked I thought I was locked in apparently I wasn’t locked in enough and I’m not trying to rip because Wiggins to your point is a very good Defender I like Andrew wiggin a l I thought he was a good fit with the Warriors but it does when there’s smoke there’s fire right and it feels like in order to open up if you do go that route with kaminga and you’re saying I’m keeping kaminga cuz I do think in a couple years if the if the Warriors CU I know you’re hes on give him a 30 million a year I do believe that 30 million a year for Jonathan kaminga will be a bargain in the next few years I think the guy’s going to be really really good it’s just I I could be wrong there I thought Tre LED was going to be good he wasn’t kiga showed me more than Trey lch ever did Jared Allen 16 to 10 and a half he averages a double double he’s done that basically for the course over the course of his career he’s not a guy who’s going to create his own shot but he’s going to give you 31 minutes a game he played 77 games this season now he has been on and off the court over the course of his career but he played 77 last year he’s got 2 years left he’s 26 years old I’m open to Jared Allen I’m open to a move like that you get bigger you get more athletic and you get a rib protector yeah but that cars off one box okay you don’t like big box is is like who else can generate points on their own in the half court there defend premium Elite perimeter guards all um those are the those are the two top questions like finding a big who could be a piece or whatever it’s great I’m I’m glad like I would like Jared I’m not I’m not even I’m not even mad like I would like Jared Allen but not for w like I want more for Wiggins me and maybe I’m asking to much so wait a minute you can’t ask for more for Wiggins when you want a Wiggins out not you but a lot of Warrior fans think very lowly in Andrew Wiggins like like what do you think you’re GNA get for Andrew Wiggins coming off that season I’m I’m jol be no I’m hoping to get something more staple no no mo staple more to it to get me something back like are we sure Jimmy Butler staying in Miami so You’ rather have you want to are we sure Jimmy like for example want Jimmy Butler on this team here’s what I’m saying like yes I would want Jimmy Butler on this team he’s in lunatic but he’s an awesome player like I think Jimmy Butler would be just what the doctor ordered okay so and he fits the timeline so maybe it’s decided to trade with Clay why would they take Wiggins the the the heat culture would want nothing to do with Andrew Wiggins and that’s why you got to a bunch of stuff to him Jimmy Butler what did he do last year and I like Jimmy buckets I do but they talk about podcast I just need him to play nice for a year and a half that’s I just SE and him you want to see someone who can keep Draymond in check love to see Draymond and Jimmy buckets on the same you think anybody nobody’s keeping Draymond in check now look at Jimmy Butler look at Jimmy Butler this this is worrisome he’s 34 years old for Jimmy Butler it’s going to be 35 a day before I turned 42 there b he’s he’s going to fall off the cliff I acknowledge that he’s 34 years old he turns 35 September 14th before the greatest day ever September 15th which the day de Marino was borned and the day Dexter Carter was born and to day yours trle was born Jimmy Butler one of these things is not like the other yeah they’re not D Marino line one uh Minnesota 201718 played 59 games the next year he played the 10 games and he got Tred in Philadelphia play 55 next year play 58 52 57 64 60 he can’t stay on the floor and he’s getting older and I like Jimmy and I like Jimmy Butler a lot I I do like Jimmy I will be open to that but why would Miami do that well because it sounds like Jimmy and Pat Riley are other all I’m looking for look guys look think about Wiggins you just needed him for two years like I I really only need Jimmy Butler for a couple of years that’s all I need I don’t need him to play nice for 10 like that’s not the real the reality is I’ve got a couple years left on Steph’s deal I got a couple years left on draymond’s Deal all I’m trying to do is maximize the now so is Jimmy Butler getting you closer to a championship to Jared Allen right now yeah I think slightly slightly yeah so protection right the fifth seat is yeah but I could find Value like I could find even I know where you going to go Mavericks are the fifth seed they play like the best team in the league over the last two yeah and and that’s the team that I’m looking at that I need to defend all right let’s go to TC and Sack then TC and Sack what’s happening you’re on the roast Von what’s up with my brother man hey before we get this started before we get this started how are you going to feel if mcaffry holds out hey before we get started listen if mcaffrey holds out mcaffry hey I try to tell y’all bro the white was on the listen the wri is on the wall players are fed up with Kyle bro even mcaffrey man you use me like a a Workhorse and then you don’t want to give me my money reconstructed you want to tell people they got to either take this or they got to leave like people are getting tired of Kyle bro I Joe Bon I try to tell yall N I try to tell y’all about this dude bro there the locker room is fed up it’s only a couple guys maybe in that locker room Debo maybe one of them and he might be the long shark bro and maybe maybe Brock P but Brock PR hasn’t seen the true Kyle yet with him uh not embracing him seriously bro TC I know you’re serious I know you’re serious all right let me get your basketball serious I know you’re serious you’re always serious I don’t take you as a joke TC n seriously Bon Joe listen check it out hey y’all know me hey that’s a winwin Joe Bro for Wiggins for uh who for my boy over there Jared Allen bro y’all listen bro it’s a shot blocker and y’all getting another Center bro to go with the boy try Jackson y’all know I’m a Kings fan bro but hey if y’all got him bro I be I’d be like you know what they got another rim protector so wa so you’re telling me in the half court you got Draymond and Jared Allen to start and finish games yeah I don’t I don’t I think it sounds good on paper I think when you look at how the Warriors like to play and you talk about all the the ball movement and all that stuff with Draymond who’s not a shooter I I I think it presents more problems than people are are like on the surface it makes sense got dig a Little Deeper everyone I don’t think Jared Allen cat all solution before I go check it out Jo you y’all want to get rid of Wiggins what y’all want HB back bro we trade y HB straight up for Wiggins I’m good okay y’all want to get rid of him that bad good so Jared Allen is the move bro if that’s the move vonte I’m telling you I’m not even a war fan bro but that’s a Ste I’m with that I’m with that move now again I don’t think it get you is it getting you a top five seed nobody’s saying that right now but what is something we discussed that nauseum all last season you need to get more athletic you need some Rim protection you need more size size matters even C is mentioned that you look at the landscape of the league now and how big the like the rim Runners with Derek Livy the second and Tony and Daniel Gafford with Dallas you don’t see Jared Allen doing that with the Warriors yeah but they also have four wait time they have four other guys on the floor who stretch it when you have Draymond it just it makes things a little different but by Jared Allen you’re not this is not the finished product of the roster you’re not going to just say hey wigg is for Island we’re done wash our hands we’re good no no no he’s a piece it’s Dy to get more athletic on Wings nobody’s denying that and you need you need some guys at the point of attack who can defend at a high high level you need your Derek Jes Jr maybe that’s kaminga maybe that’s kaminga you need your Aaron Gordon who could defend at a high level maybe that’s jant kaminga well I look at like closing lineups like how many of The Bigs in the last however many years have closed games with the Warriors it’s not about closing with a Jared Allen yeah but if you have a trade piece in Wiggins who is a closing piece you cannot trade him for someone who’s not a closing piece maybe you use the kaminga as a trade chip if you’re not comfortable giving kaminga 30 million a year maybe both of these guys are gone and maybe you’re trading Wiggins for Jered Allen and you may be getting that other Defender that guy you’re talking about for kaminga or a moody that may be and don’t forget Chris Paul team option what’s going to happen there Klay Thompson what if they don’t agree with the deal agree to a deal with Klay Thompson maybe he’s just signed a trade possibility with the Klay Thompson to maybe get that player there’s a lot of options here it’s not the end all Beall if it’s J

  1. Ill take that deal in a heartbeat. N then trade looney and paul for someone good ball handler that can create buckets. I definitely think resigning klay and trading him for a jimmy butler would be amazing as well!!

  2. So you don't want Wiggins but getting a rim protector which is what we need. The only other player is Brandon Ingram who has question marks

  3. Not only isn’t Butler THE answer, he’s not even PART of the answer. Dude, NBA vets over 30 are NOT the answer, anymore. Period. The Warriors are Steph, Moses, JK, Draymond and TJD. Those are your starters, with Podz leading your bench. That’s it. Adding Jared Allen and hopefully a draft pick for Wiggins is exactly what the Warriors need. The Warriors aren’t getting Luka or some other high scoring guard to run at the 2 guard. Kuminga needs to average 20ppg, and Moses needs to average 14 to 17 while playing excellent D, 12-15 from TJD, with Podz getting 12-14 off the bench for the warriors to improve significantly. That’s it, that’s the formula. Then you get bench scorers who can play consistently and sometimes go off. If those things can happen with a rebuilt offense and defense, Steph’s career ends on an up note with the Warriors improving. Pursuing old stars no longer works

  4. Kerr has already said he has to change the style of Basketball we are playing so we aren't going to play the same style of Basketball we have

  5. Advantage of Wiggins over Klay is that when Wiggins is benched that he really doesn’t care. When Klay on the other hand is benched, he mopes and effects rest of the team that he didn’t get his minutes.

  6. With all the success of teams with two bigs, we gonna argue against getting a good one? I would toss Wigs low motor away just for cap space if we could. We get Allen all we actually need is a two guard that can score so they can’t load up on Curry

  7. "That's all you get for Andrew Wiggins?" I must have missed the part where Wiggins continued to be the player he was in the '22 playoffs. And never mind that Jarrett Allen would immediately be our best center. The highly doubt the Cavs would consider this trade, but if it they offered it, I'd be all for the Warriors pulling the trigger.

  8. Jarrett allen is extremely overrated and gets punked in the weak eastern conference come playoff time. I at least want a center with real playoff experience and knows what it takes to go on deep playoff runs . He’s 6’9 and can be pushed around. I can see warrior fans crying that he’s a push over and that the warriors need a “real” center still. I’d rather play our 6’9 center in TJD who is much cheaper and just add another big in free agency or try to get one of these center’s in the draft(possibly move back into the first)

  9. I rather have Wiggins than Klay. He at least can defend and in one bad game he can give you 12 points and 5 reb. Klay bad's games drive the Warrios to lose. 0/10 3pt.

  10. They need more size and rim protection.. They have good perimeter guards and will continue to develop. When plays break down especially in the playoffs, and the game slows down, rim protection and extra possessions are needed. JA can score inside also.
