One NBA writer is proposing that the Los Angeles Clippers acquire Andrew Wiggins from the Golden State Warriors in a blockbuster trade. Lee Tran of Fadeaway World proposed the following trade idea between the Clippers and Warriors:
Golden State Warriors Receive: Kawhi Leonard
Los Angeles Clippers Receive: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, 2027 First-Round Pick
“This package would obviously feature fewer assets than the other ones in this article because Kawhi Leonard is on an expiring contract,” Tran wrote in his latest NBA trade column. “Still, the Los Angeles Clippers would get solid value for their star, with great young prospects like Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, as well as a former All-Star in Andrew Wiggins.”
