The Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins might get traded in the coming days. If reports are to be believed, the GS Warriors are desperate to part ways with the Canadian International.
The GS Warriors’ desperation is obvious, they are one of the most successful teams in the past ten years. They won 4 NBA championships in that span and even came very close to it last season when the Los Angeles Lakers crushed their dreams.

The Golden State Warriors would have expected themselves to bounce back with stronger force this season. But things have not gone their way; they have been struggling this season. They are not even sure about their place in the playoffs, and contention looks like a far-fetched dream.
They know that they need changes, but since they are low on assets, they are forced to give up on a quality player. Andrew Wiggins is speculated to be the one who will walk out of the door. What do the Warriors expect in return? Here is all the information you need about Andrew Wiggins and his future with the Golden State Warriors.

Why would the Golden State Warriors trade off Andrew Wiggins?
The GS Warriors’ #22 has not been up to the mark. To add to the sorrows of the GS Warriors, Draymond Green recently got suspended indefinitely after striking the Phoenix Suns’ center in the head.
The Warriors would like to make up for the lost frontcourt strength by trading Andrew. They are used to making a comeback after such setbacks. Are we going to witness another one of those stories?
Will the Golden State Warriors make it to the playoffs this season? We’ll keep you updated.
