Golden State Warriors
Similar to the Raptors, the Golden State Warriors have been watching the playoffs from home after losing in the play-in tournament twice. Despite an MVP-esque campaign from Stephen Curry, the Warriors didn’t have a roster that was built to win deep in the season. At the least, Klay Thompson is expected to return, and Golden State has lofty expectations for James Wiseman.

But with the window for Thompson, Curry, and Draymond Green to win together gradually closing, the Warriors could make a move this offseason. Of the other players on the roster, Andrew Wiggins may hold the most trade value after a career year in 2020-21.
While averaging a modest 18.6 points per game, Wiggins converted a career-high 47.7 percent of his shots from the field, and he made a career-best 38 percent of his three-point attempts.
Once again, being able to find a two-way wing is extremely difficult, and Wiggins showed this season that he’s improved on the defensive end. If he can continue knocking down shots beyond the arc at an efficient clip, then he’d be an ideal fit on the Mavericks. For the Warriors, getting Kristaps Porzingis would create more spacing, and it would place less pressure on Green to take three-point shots in the offense.
