As the NBA trade deadline gets closer, it’s very clear that the Golden State Warriors are probably going to make some big changes.
It’s also very clear that Andrew Wiggins might be one of the players who is shipped to another team before February 8.
According to Anthony Slater, via NBACentral, the Warriors are “considering player-for-player trade offers for Andrew Wiggins, who remains the most likely member of the team to be traded.”

Wiggins has been attached to trade rumors for a while now.
Since the very start of the season, if not before, numerous people have speculated about Wiggins packing his bag and heading to another franchise.
The news of the Warriors contemplating “player-for-player” offers proves that they are looking for win-now talent that can help get the team back on track after a rocky road.
But, which player is the type that would be accepted by the Warriors in a Wiggins deal?
The former number one draft pick is averaging 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, which is a steep drop from what he did last season and before.
At this point, the Warriors might not be able to get a big return for Wiggins because of the problems he’s had on the court.
Warriors fans should hold on tight because Wiggins probably won’t be the only player sent away before the trade deadline.
Chris Paul and even Klay Thompson could be shipped off as the front office attempts a mid-season rebuild that could help them reach the playoffs again.
Wiggins has had a bad season yet he could still rebound and have many great years ahead of him, but it likely won’t be with Golden State.
