With the Warriors adding Jonathan Kuminga in the 2021 NBA Draft, it seems as though there is potential to save on spending by moving on from Wiggins.

In order to acquire Wiggins, the Knicks would have to part ways with Fournier, who just signed a four-year deal with the team. It would be interesting to see the Knicks make this move but we have seen worse from the franchise.
