The trading deadline is not far away. Will the Warriors trade Wiggins? It seems that this is possible. This is not to say that the Warriors do not want Wiggins but that the Warriors have to give up Wiggins finally. Wiggins has an annual salary of 29 million yuan this season, and next season and next season are both more than 30 million yuan, and the Warriors' current luxury tax pressure has reached the extreme. The current Warriors lineup includes Thompson, Curry, Green, Oublay, Wiggins, etc. These are players with an annual salary of over 10 million. The cheaper Oublay also has an annual salary of 15 million. As for Curry and Thompson, it is even more exaggerated. Now that the annual salary can reach 40 million, the Warriors have to make preparations.
In fact, it is reasonable to say that the annual salary of 30 million is really not expensive for Wiggins. The top five single defense efficiency in the league has a stable average of 18 points per game, shooting 46% or more, and three-point shooting efficiency. Over 40%, it is almost a free throw. Such a player is still 25 years old and has a lot of talent and space. According to normal circumstances, it is worth training. Don’t forget that Wiggins has averaged 20+ points per game for two seasons. You said it’s impossible for him to have no future. It’s impossible to leave such a player for the Warriors. Said it was a baby. Being able to play and defend without occupying the ball, this is a second master born for the Warriors.
Can the Warriors make this stupid? According to the current salary situation of the Warriors, in fact, both Wiggins and Oubrey have the possibility of being traded. The current Warriors basically have no hope of winning. The biggest limit is to fight for the playoffs. Can the Warriors not make the finals still have such a bottom-line investment? According to the Warriors’ budget for the two seasons, it’s best to trade one of them. In the current market, Ubre’s trade value is not great. Wiggins’ trade value is basically maximized. If you want to trade, Wiggins should be the best choice.
Can the Warriors really deal with Wiggins? Wiggins now plays the banner of defense within the Warriors, especially in the defense of the core players. Wiggins plays a very important role. In many cases, his playing time is more than that of Curry. In this case, the Warriors really can't trade Wiggins rashly.Oublay can certainly exist as the second core player to succeed Wiggins, but Oublay’s advantages and disadvantages are too obvious. He is suitable for being a surprise player but by no means a core player of a team. Wiggins’s role is not everyone. Can be replaced.
But the value of Wiggins on the free market will not lack the next home. Obviously, from the performance of Wiggins this season, there should be many teams that like him. Today's league is not only the Big Three such as Durant, Irving, and Harden, but also many teams that don't even have core players. If Wiggins is really released, then the free market will definitely launch a larger chase for him, but then again, are the Warriors really willing to trade Wiggins?
