A shocking prediction has been made by a Golden State Warriors insider regarding the team’s actions leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline.
The Golden State Warriors are facing a significant risk of dropping out of the playoff race in the competitive Western Conference. Currently, they are 5.5 games behind the sixth seed, and unless a substantial move is made before the NBA Trade Deadline, the prospects of rescuing what increasingly appears to be another disappointing season seem bleak.
With just a few weeks left before the trade deadline, the Warriors are likely scrambling to identify a strategic move that can substantially alter the course of their season. Notably, a well-connected Warriors reporter, Tim Kawakami, made an intriguing prediction about the team’s approach leading up to the trade deadline during a recent podcast appearance.
Kawakami anticipates that Andrew Wiggins will be traded by the February 8 deadline, a notion that has gained traction in discussions over the past few weeks. As the Warriors continue to slide down the Western Conference standings, it is evident that a change is imperative. With the trade deadline looming, it appears that every option is being considered for the Warriors, barring the possibility of trading Stephen Curry. Given the recent struggles of the team, such a comprehensive evaluation seems warranted.
While the potential trade of Wiggins is on the table, the question remains: to what extent would such a move truly benefit the Golden State Warriors?
What could the Golden State Warriors get for Andrew Wiggins on the trade market?
It’s difficult to predict what the Warriors could obtain for Wiggins on the trade market right now. If the Warriors had considered a Wiggins trade a few offseasons ago, there’s a good case to be made that his trade value was at its peak. However, while it may not be at an all-time low, it is unlikely to be as high as Golden State would prefer.
Nonetheless, occasionally retooling the roster is more beneficial than upgrading it. Perhaps if the Warriors traded one of their young players and a lottery selection for Wiggins, the return would be more in line with what the Warriors are looking for.
Either way now that Wiggins may be on the trade block, or at the very least on trade watch, the Warriors’ next few weeks ahead of the trade deadline becomes that much more interesting.
Will the Warriors make a huge move? Who might be on their radar? Is there a move out there that may perhaps save the Warriors’ season? These are questions that will be answered over the next few weeks.
