The NBA trade deadline is quickly approaching and plans being made by the Golden State Warriors are coming to light.
Most analysts and insiders agree that the Warriors are going to make at least one or two moves in an attempt to get the team back on track after a frustrating season.
And those analysts and insiders also agree that Andrew Wiggins is mostly likely heading to another team.
According to Anthony Slater, via NBACentral, the Warriors “are considering player-for-player trade offers” for Wiggins.

A few weeks ago, it was reported that the Warriors were willing to trade just about anyone on the team, as long as it isn’t Stephen Curry.
This shows the severity of the situation they’re in and just how desperate the front office is to repair things.
Trading Wiggins in a player-for-player swap shows that the team is interested in acquiring established players who have win-now talent.
They aren’t looking to rack up draft picks and want someone who can help them reach the playoffs as soon as possible.
The problem with a Wiggins trade is that he’s having the worst season of his career, averaging just 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.
That means that the Warriors will have a hard time securing incredible talent in exchange for Wiggins because of the season that he’s having.
Wiggins might not be the only Warriors player who is packing his bags, of course.
Everyone from Chris Paul to Klay Thompson could be shipped away in the next few weeks.
Wiggins has had quite a few impressive seasons during his basketball career and he could bounce back in the next few years but his time with the Warriors is coming to an end.
