The Warriors' failure to make the playoffs this season was indeed a surprise to many fans, as many people had high expectations for this Warriors team at the beginning of the season. After all, Paul's arrival is a source of great antifusation. But the Warriors have disappointed again this season, so they're sure to make major personnel changes this offseason, especially in some of the core roster. This year has been disappointing, and some players may be the target of trade.
Recently, it was revealed that the Warriors have put Wiggins in trade talks this summer. That means Wiggins will be sent away at any time this offseason. Why did the Warriors choose to trade Wiggins? You know, he was the hero of the Warriors' 22-year championship. It comes down to the fact that Wiggins' performance this season has disappointed management, and his attitude to play has also made management impatient.
Attentive fans should notice that Wiggins' average per game has dropped significantly this season, and all stats have dropped significantly. What's more, Wiggins is a player with too much uncertainty. This uncertainty is more of an off-the-field factor. In the past two seasons, Wiggins has frequently missed games due to family matters. Sometimes he is even absent for a long time, and the impact on the team is huge, after all, he is the core player of the team. If Wiggins is still out for a long time next season due to family matters, it means that the Warriors' regular season record next season is still not guaranteed, and no team's management wants to take such a risk.
Therefore, it is the safest option for management to trade him away, and Wiggins' salary space can fully recruit a strong player. On the other hand, Wiggins' performance this season has also disappointed head coach Kerr. You'll find that Wiggins has been dropped by Kerr in the second half of the fourth quarter on a number of occasions this season. Kerr didn't want to use Wiggins even with Kuminga, which was rarely seen in previous seasons. This proves that Wiggins has no desire to win on the court, and his performance on the court has caused Kerr to lose confidence.
Wiggins is a very Buddhist player, especially after the Warriors won a championship, and he became more desireless. A player with this mentality is not suitable for a championship team, he is more suitable for a team that is not in a good position. Because the championship team needs every player's full attention, it needs every player to play like chicken, and Wiggins obviously does not have such a state. In that case, the best thing the Warriors could do was to trade him away for a more motivated player.
