NBA rumors: Mavericks showing ‘most interest’ in Warriors’ Andrew Wiggins

With the addition of Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga to their all-star starting lineup, the Golden State Warriors appear to be

turning the corner and regaining their long-lost team identity. Since Steve Kerr deliberately leaned more toward Draymond Green at

small-ball five, the Dubs are 3-2; their overtime losses to the Sacramento

Kings and Los Angeles Lakers came by a single score apiece.

Because of this, the majority of the rumor mill surrounding Golden State indicates that the team is happy to hold out until the trade

deadline in order to extract as much value as possible from the existing squad in the last games of the season before a possibly game-

changing summer. However, this does not imply that reports about the new-look Dubs will completely stop until February 8th, even

though they are playing well in the midst of some much-needed clarity over their roster and rotation.

As an example, consider the Dallas Mavericks’ persistent pursuit of a Wiggins trade, as reported by Action Network’s Matt Moore.

“Andrew Wiggins is the other player the Warriors are trying to trade, as his plus-minus splits this year are basically a horror show. The

Dallas Mavericks are the team that has shown the greatest interest in Wiggins during the past two weeks,

according to sources. Talks’ specifics remain unknown.

Over the first few months of 2023–24, Wiggins overcame career-worst problems to resurface as a crucial component of Golden State’s

offensive strategy. With Gary Payton II out, he is the Warriors’ best on-ball defender. Lately, he has more consistently delivered the

multi-level scoring punch that perhaps made him the team’s second-best player during its 2022 championship run.

Though Wiggins’ absence may be somewhat compensated for by committee, Golden State has enough depth with Payton, Chris Paul,

and Moses Moody expected to return from injury soon. Wiggins is a clear trade candidate

However, if he stays in the Bay past the trade deadline, don’t be shocked. The Warriors aren’t nearly ready to give up on winning in the

midst of a turbulent 2023–24 season, as evidenced by their recent progress. Additionally, Wiggins’ previous setbacks and expensive

contract guarantee that Dallas or any other possible bidder would be paying a cheap price for him.

In June and July, why not finish the season and look back on a Wiggins trade?

Steve Kerr stated of Wiggins on Thursday, “I’m very hopeful and I expect him to be here when the trade deadline passes.” He helped us

win a title a year and a half ago, so I believe he has played a significant role in our team over the years. has a long career ahead of him

still. I sincerely hope Wiggs is present. I completely expect him to be here, as I mentioned.
