The Golden State Warriors are gearing up to be active during the offseason as they look to improve their roster after failing to qualify for the postseason. Team owner Joe Lacob has expressed a desire to avoid luxury tax payments, meaning trade opportunities may be explored to make necessary improvements.
If the Warriors are looking to trim salary and enhance their rotation at multiple positions, pursuing a trade like the one proposed by Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report could be a promising option for the front office to consider. It remains to be seen whether such a trade will come to fruition, but it could be a step in the right direction for the Warriors as they look to bounce back in the upcoming season.
One potential trade scenario that has been suggested involves sending Andrew Wiggins to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Kelly Olynyk and Jalen McDaniels. Wiggins, who struggled for consistency last season, could be seen as a valuable trade asset for the Warriors.
According to Buckley, this trade could benefit the Warriors financially while also adding depth to the roster. Olynyk’s size, defense, and ability to stretch the floor would be a valuable addition to Steve Kerr’s system. McDaniels’ defensive skills could also help the team achieve greater balance on both ends of the court.
If this trade were to happen it would give Wiggins an opportunity with different system and teammates which he might find more suitable for his game style and might help him regain his form . On other hand it will give Olynyk and McDaniels an opportunity with more playing time and veteran leadership in a championship team which might help them grow as players
