Does this trade make sense for the Golden State Warriors?

If the Warriors want to maximize on their current championship chances, then this trade makes a lot of sense for them. Long-term though, the Warriors may have a better future with Wiggins and Wiseman rather than Siakam and Boucher. 

In the short-term, adding an already proven All-Star talent in Pascal Siakam to their frontcourt, along with Chris Boucher, who is one of the best backup frontcourt players in the entire league now, gives the Warriors everything they need to be a force in the Western Conference again, especially with Klay Thompson expected to be healthy, hopefully, to begin the 2021-22 season. 

Curry and Green have looked great this season and have shown no signs of slowing down, but the Warriors’ front-office definitely has to be looking long-term at their current core’s ages. They are all in their 30’s now and with not many years left to capitalize on their championship quest, the Warriors could be very willing to go “all-in” on winning now.

If they are, then trading away Wiseman and Wiggins could make a lot of sense to help them possibly contend for a championship during the 2021-22 season and possibly more! However, long-term, Wiseman and Wiggins present the Warriors with two younger options to continue building with. 

This trade would definitely be a very tough decision for Golden State to make as a lot of their future success as an organization depends on it.
