When the Golden State Warriors traded for Andrew Wiggins in 2020, the prevailing thought was that they would flip him, and his contract, in another trade. At the time of the deal, the Warriors assured Wiggins and his camp that they acquired him for his basketball ability, not his contract.
Wiggins repaid that by making his first All-Star team in 2022. Despite a lessened offensive role with the Warriors than he had with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Wiggins has remained a productive player. He’s also improved as defender while with Golden State.
Next season is the final year of the five-year deal Wiggins signed with the Wolves. Wiggins will be an unrestricted free agent in 2023, unless he reaches an agreement on an extension with the Warriors.
