An NBA analyst has proposed a blockbuster trade deal between the Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors, and Golden State Warriors to trade Andrew Wiggins.
Lee Tran is a popular NBA analyst who works as a writer for Fadeaway World. Lee has proposed trade between the Mavericks, Raptors, and Warriors.
The Andrew Wiggins Trade Proposal
- The Dallas Mavericks will receive Andrew Wiggins.
- The Golden State Warriors will receive Pascal Siakam.
- The Toronto Raptors will receive Tim Hardaway Jr., Gary Payton II, Jonathan Kuminga, Josh Green, the 2026 First Round Draft Pick (Dallas Mavericks), and the 2028 First Round Draft Pick (Golden State Warriors).
Lee Tran wrote:
“At his core, Wiggins is a low-usage player that fits in well next to other superstars.”
“He spaces the floor and defends the best opposing perimeter player. We saw his elite defense on both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the 2022 NBA Finals, and it is clear that Wiggins brings a lot of value on that end of the floor. This is the perfect player to put next to two ball-dominant stars in Irving and Doncic.”
Tran further added:
“The Mavericks have to show Doncic and Irving that they are serious about building a championship-winning team around them and acquiring a proven player like Wiggins could be just the move to do that. He would also be a great positional fit on the team, and ultimately, there is no downside to bringing him in.”

Wiggin signed a $109 million massive contract extension from the Warriors in October 2022 for 4 years. He will earn around $24 million in the upcoming NBA Season.
On top of that, Wiggins was named Rookie of the Year in 2014-15 when he was playing for Minnesota Timberwolves.
In the last season, he played a total of 37 games, where he averaged around 17.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per shooting.
He had a shooting percentage of 47.3% from the floor, 39.5% shooting from beyond the arc, and 61.1% shooting from the free throw line.
Wiggins could be a perfect fit for the Dallas Mavericks, apart from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, if the Mavs successfully acquire him.
