One NBA writer is proposing that the Dallas Mavericks acquire Andrew Wiggins from the Golden State Warriors in a blockbuster trade. Lee Tran of Fadeaway World proposed the following three-team trade between the Mavericks, Warriors and Toronto Raptors:
Golden State Warriors Receive: Pascal Siakam
Dallas Mavericks Receive: Andrew Wiggins
Toronto Raptors Receive: Tim Hardaway Jr., Gary Payton II, Jonathan Kuminga, Josh Green, 2026 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2028 First-Round Pick (GSW)
“At his core, Wiggins is a low-usage player that fits in well next to other superstars,” Tran wrote. “He spaces the floor and defends the best opposing perimeter player. We saw his elite defense on both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the 2022 NBA Finals, and it is clear that Wiggins brings a lot of value on that end of the floor. This is the perfect player to put next to two ball-dominant stars in Irving and Doncic.”

“The Mavericks have to show Doncic and Irving that they are serious about building a championship-winning team around them and acquiring a proven player like Wiggins could be just the move to do that. He would also be a great positional fit on the team, and ultimately, there is no downside to bringing him in.”
Wiggins helped the Warriors win the 2022 NBA title over the Boston Celtics in six games. He was rewarded with a massive four-year, $109 million contract extension in October 2022. The one-time NBA All-Star will make $24.3 million next season.
The 2014-15 NBA Rookie of the Year with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Wiggins appeared in 37 games for the Warriors last season. He averaged 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 47.3% from the floor, 39.6% from beyond the arc and 61.1% from the free-throw line.
