The Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is speculated to leave the franchise by the end of the season. The GS Warriors haven’t been at their best this season, and some changes are on the cards. They have recently suffered a loss of another asset since Draymond Green got suspended indefinitely due to his recklessness.
The GS Warriors have been looking to go all in for a star player who can lift them up. Should they start fixing their issues by trading off Andrew Wiggins?
The 28-year-old Canadian international Wiggins is the favorite to leave the franchise. The GS Warriors are ranked 11th in the Western Conference at the moment with a 15-17 record. They haven’t been in a similar situation for a long time, which calls for immediate action.
The Warriors management is keeping an eye on some star players available in the market and to accumulate assets to land them on their roster, they are likely to part ways with some players as well. Here is all the information you need about Andrew Wiggins and his future with the Golden State Warriors.

Why would the Golden State Warriors trade off Andrew Wiggins?
Only Steph Curry is averaging more than 20 points per game, and if things stay the same, the GS Warriors will not be able to make it to the playoffs. Even if they get there somehow, they would not be able to progress further. The GS Warriors are searching for a player who can turn it around for them.
