The Warriors expect to trade Andrew Wiggins for the former Lakers title-winning winger

The Golden State Warriors could improve their chemistry and ability to score points by completing a low-key, key trade with the Washington Wizards.

On Thursday, Fadeaway World’s Fran Leiva imagined Golden State would send a package of Andrew Wiggins, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2026 second-round pick, to the Wizards for a 29-year-old, 1, 90 meter tall winger who won a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.

“The Warriors’ season was all around,” Leiva said.

“The mood is bad at the moment and your squad is crying out for fresh energy.”

“Kyle Kuzma comes into play… (who), but could be just the shake-up the Warriors need.”

“Kuzma is versatile…and adds a scoring touch that doesn’t require him to have the ball in his hands all the time. Plus, he’s on a declining contract — $23.5 million this year — so he’s cheaper than Wiggins.”

“From the Wizards’ perspective, this deal also makes a lot of sense. … Kuzma doesn’t do much to help them win, and trading him for a future first-round pick and a second-rounder is exactly what a rebuilding team should do.”

“As for Wiggins, he’s not a long-term solution in Washington, but his contract fits their tank schedule.”

“For Kuzma, moving from the Wizards’ basketball purgatory to a team with championship aspirations could be just what he needs to find his rhythm again.”

“This trade may not be everything for either team, but it is one of those rare scenarios where both sides come away happy. The Wizards gain valuable assets for the future, and the Warriors gain a component that could help them improve their season.”
