A crucial piece of the Golden State lakers previous championship core’s future is in jeopardy as the trade deadline of February 8 draws near, as the team’s season continues to fall apart after an embarrassing home loss to the Toronto Raptors.
The Warriors are considering trading struggling forward Andrew Wiggins, who was instrumental in their championship run against the Boston Celtics two years ago, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.
Rival teams are beginning to believe that the Warriors are more receptive to the idea of dealing Andrew Wiggins, who was crucial to their 2022 championship run, given the limited success Golden State has had when matching [Jonathan] Kuminga with Wiggins. The query still stands:
Steve Kerr made a second attempt, which swiftly backfired, to start Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga together against the Raptors.
Toronto jumped out to a 9-2 lead and eventually grew to lead 24–12 before Kerr substituted Kuminga and Wiggins. The Warriors’ poor start was never overcome.
Together, Kuminga and Wiggins had a minus-34 rating on the court. No matter how hard Kerr tries, they cannot coexist.
In 17 minutes, Wiggins finished with minus-29. When Wiffins plays for the Warriors this season, they are down 150 points. Conversely, The Athletic reports that they are 157 points superior without Wiggins.
