On May 27, 2022, Beijing time, the Western Conference Finals of the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Lone Rangers officially came to an end today, and finally the Warriors lifted the sixth Western Conference Championship trophy at home with a 4-1 score. Team leader Stephen Curry also lifted the NBA's first Western Conference Finals MVP trophy today. However, the performance of the team's forward Andrew Wiggins today can not be ignored, counting today's double-double performance of 18 points and 10 rebounds, Wiggins can average 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in this series, becoming a key influencer of the team's promotion to the Finals!
Wiggins' importance to this Warriors is mainly reflected in defense and rebounding. Especially in the Western Conference Finals, Wiggins, in addition to leading the defense of Doncic in the whole game, can also change defenses at any time, not only to grab the rebound in the front court to complete the second offense, but also a relatively stable three-point shot.
After playing this series with the Warriors, Wiggins has attracted the attention of many teams in the league, because players who are more offensive and defensive than him, such as George and Leonard, are currently almost all non-selling products of other teams. As a result, Wiggins are a hot signing player for some teams looking to complete a flanking upgrade. Because the Warriors' luxury tax situation next season is not optimistic, the 27-year-old Wiggins is also facing a new opportunity to renew his contract.
To say that in the NBA business league, players play first is actually for money, because the youth meal is only a few years, once the window period is missed, it is difficult to sign a high-paying long contract. The Cavaliers have a crush on Wiggins, who is currently very interested in the man he chose in 2014. In order to explore the possibility of getting him, he directly gave a four-year, $160 million signing price higher than the competitor Warriors, Spurs, and even higher than the market price.
That is, other teams can give you Wiggins $30 million+ and I'll give you 40 million directly, and you're the absolute core of the team when you come back to express our apologies for giving up on you that year. At present, the Cavaliers are very active in the signing market, because they did not expect that this season with a youth army, they can once be in the top four in the East. Although I missed the playoffs in the final stages of the regular season, if I can successfully recruit reinforcements, there are still many possibilities for next season.
The Cavaliers have offered Sexton and LeVert separately today, hoping they can stay with the team, as well as last season's substitute point guard Rubio, who is looking for opportunities to continue working together next season; and finally Wiggins, who hopes to re-sign the champion. At present, if Wiggins helps the Warriors win the championship this season, it is still very likely to go to the Cavaliers, after all, the Cavaliers give high money, if he continues to want to play health basketball, this is one of the few opportunities to sign a big contract. Do you think Wiggins will stay with the Warriors or return to the Cavaliers? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section to discuss!
