According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors have no plans to trade Wiggins, instead expecting he will be the starting small forward in the roster next season:
“But, ask anyone in the organization — during their private or public moments — they got Wiggins with the expectation that he’ll be their starting small forward next season, not just a matching contract to flip (like they did with [D’Angelo] Russell),” wrote Slater. “They are aggressive but rational.”
Many shook their heads when the Warriors traded for Wiggins after noting countless times they intended to keep D’Angelo Russell on the roster. The move made little sense, as they were adding a player who still had a questionable shooting touch from the outside and didn’t add much versatility to a team that edified its core from it.
