As the Golden State Warriors continue to struggle this season, there is a good chance the team could make significant moves ahead of the trade deadline. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Warriors have almost everyone on the roster available to be traded.
“The mindset in Golden State right now is everyone but Steph Curry is on the table,” Charania said Thursday on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back.” “That’s their mindset. Now, realistically, there’s an asterisk, right? Klay Thompson, would they want to keep him long-term and keep him in Golden State? I think that’s been their hope. They have not been able to reach a contract extension with him, we’ve talked about it. And Draymond Green just got back from an extension. Those have been their three core guys in the front office.”
“They’re big fans of Jonathan Kuminga, big fans of Brandin Podziemski, they’re big fans of Trayce Jackson-Davis. But Wiggins and everyone else on that roster except Steph Curry has to be in play for this team.”
Andrew Wiggins Likely On His Way Out
It looks like the Warriors will make a splash ahead of the trade deadline, but the team is still hoping to keep the core three of Curry, Thompson, and Green. With that said, a name to watch out for is Andrew Wiggins, who has struggled this season. Wiggins is averaging 11.7 points and 4.1 rebounds in 33 games this year.
According to Tim Kawakami, Wiggins is the Warriors’ most likely trade candidate heading into the trade deadline.
“I think [the Warriors] are going to trade Wiggins,” Kawakami said on “95.7 The Game.”
One possible destination for Wiggins that has been mentioned is Indiana. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports said that the Pacers are keeping tabs on the 28-year-old, along with teammate Jonathan Kuminga.
The Golden State Warriors are currently in 12th place in the Western Conference with a record of 17-20. They have lost six of their last eight games and sit a game back of the Lakers for the 10th seed in the West.
