The Golden State Warriors could be without one of the key members who helped them win the 2022 NBA Championship.
The Bay Area franchise is reportedly considering including Andrew Wiggins in trade talks this offseason, according to league insider Evan Sidery of Forbes Sports.
The emergence of forward Jonathan Kuminga is cited as a reason to offload the Canadian as Golden State tries to find a better fit for their roster.
Wiggins has $84.7 million remaining on his contract over the next three seasons, with the final year being a player option in the 2026-27 season worth $30.1 million.

The 29-year-old averaged 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per contest, shooting 45.3% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range in 71 regular season games in 2023-24.
Andrew Wiggins has been inconsistent since the Warriors title run
Wiggins was indisputably the second-best player in the Warriors' title run in 2022, just behind Stephen Curry. He provided firepower and defense, often guarding the opposing team's best players, such as Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum.
The 6-foot-7 forward was also named to his first NBA All-Star Game appearance during the 2021-22 season, where he was voted a starter for the Western Conference.
However, his production declined in each of the next two seasons, and he missed significant time in both years due to "personal reasons" without disclosing the details.
