Coming in as the top overall pick in 2014, there were naturally tons of pressure on him to lead and save the Minnesota Timberwolves from mediocrity. He did put up the numbers with the Wolves, but they were never really able to play for something meaningful.</p><p>Fortunately for Wiggins, he was traded to the Warriors.

All the sacrifices, all the ups and downs, all the stuff was worth it.

He might no longer be the no. 1 option, but he doesn’t have to be.

He’s already proven how important he is to the team, and the Dubs would prefer to keep him. Be that as it may, the fact here is that they might not be able to pay him the money he wants if and when he becomes a free agent next summer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While that’s hardly an indication of his potential frustration at not receiving an extension before hitting free agency next summer, it nevertheless provides some critical context as contract negotiations continue with Warriors management.</p><p>According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/3452144/2022/07/27/warriors-contracts-nba-free-agents/?redirected=1">Marcus Thompson II and Anthony Slater of <i>The Athletic</i></a>, though Wiggins has had “preliminary” talks with Golden State about a contract extension, the sides aren’t necessarily close to reaching an agreement.</p><blockquote>There have been some preliminary discussions already, but nothing is imminent, per sources.</blockquote><p>Wiggins is coming off a breakout playoff performance that established him as one of basketball’s best two-way role players. He not only locked down Jayson Tatum in the NBA Finals and made life hard on Luka Doncic one round earlier, but also rebounded at easy career-best levels and served as a reliable, dynamic release valve when defenses hounded Stephen Curry. Golden State couldn’t have won its fourth championship in eight seasons without Wiggins.</p><p>The Warriors have reportedly made retaining Wiggins long-term a “priority” despite Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole also being eligible for extensions. Green has a player option on his contract for 2023-24 and Poole will be a restricted free agent next summer unless he signs a new deal before the October 18th rookie-scale extension deadline. Thompson, on the other hand, is under contract through the next two seasons at a combined $83.8 million.</p><p>Wiggins will make $33.6 million in 2022-23, the final season of his existing max contract, no matter where extension discussions go from here. A four-year extension featuring a starting salary just below $30 million, plus annual eight percent raises, would represent fair value for both Wiggins and the Warriors even if there’s a chance he receives a slightly more lucrative deal on the open market next July.</p><p>Wiggins has finally found a home in the NBA. He’s already made clear he doesn’t want to go anywhere, and Golden State has every intention of paying him. The biggest question now seems to be when it will happen.</p><p>[<a href="https://twitter.com/ThompsonScribe?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Marcus Thompson II</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/anthonyVslater?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Anthony Slater</a>, <i>The Athletic</i>]</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After KD demanded a trade away from the Nets, the Dubs emerged as a potential <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-bob-myers-puts-foot-down-kevin-durant-trade-rumors/">landing spot</a> for the former league MVP in a bid to reunite him with former teammate Stephen Curry.</p><p>Nothing really materialized on that front, and it seems that the Nets weren’t interested in what the Warriors had to offer. According to ESPN’s NBA insider Zach Lowe, Golden State’s trade package centered around Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole — two players that had breakout campaigns last year and were both integral to the Warriors’ title run. Be that as it may, Brooklyn wasn’t buying it (h/t <a href="https://www.totalprosports.com/2022/07/23/brooklyn-nets-not-super-high-on-two-players-on-the-warriors-in-kevin-durant-trade/">Darelle Lincoln of Total Pro Sports</a>):</p><blockquote>“The intel I have is that the Nets are not super high on Wiggins or Poole as sort of centerpiece players,” Lowe said. “Then you get to the other guys who are relatively unproven in the NBA. So I don’t know if there ever really was a deal there that the Nets would have done. Obviously, you have to explore it if you’re the Warriors.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Lowe Post around-the-league mega-podcast: <a href="https://twitter.com/kendra__andrews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kendra__andrews</a> on the Warriors offseason/KD; <a href="https://twitter.com/bykevinclark?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bykevinclark</a> on his beloved Magic/Banchero/future; <a href="https://twitter.com/Adam_Mares?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Adam_Mares</a> on the always under-the-radar Nuggets: </p><p>Apple: <a href="https://t.co/JOwwqMdUHR">https://t.co/JOwwqMdUHR</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://t.co/MYJtLnGJQO">https://t.co/MYJtLnGJQO</a></p><p>— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA/status/1550531735242256384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 22, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Losing Wiggins and Poole would be an undeniably significant blow for the Warriors. However, the prize they would have gotten in return was Kevin Durant, which if you think about it, could be worth giving up such a haul for. Nevertheless, the Nets didn’t feel like they were getting enough compensation for giving up KD, which is likely why this potential trade deal never really worked out. It just wasn’t in the stars.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ever since the star requested a trade out of the team, teams have put together their best offers for the former MVP winner. However, the front office has been extremely picky in choosing their trade partner. They aren’t keen on settling for  pennies on the dollar for their star.</p><p>One of the strongest packages out there for Kevin Durant is from a familiar face: the Golden State Warriors. The reigning champs, in theory, could offer a combination of Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and salary filler for the Nets star. That’s quite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/perfect-trade-warriors-must-offer-nets-kevin-durant/">the alluring package</a>, no? Well, according to Zach Lowe, Brooklyn isn’t impressed by this deal. (<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lowe-post/id986595124">via The Lowe Post</a>)</p><p>“That’s where you would negotiate. You would end up keeping a Kuminga or a Moody. The issues are Wiggins and Simmons. You run into the designated rookie fiasco. The intel I have is that the Nets are not super high on Wiggins or Poole as sort of centerpiece players.”</p><p>The Nets are definitely doing the right thing by not rushing a trade and waiting for the best offer available. What’s interesting, though, is the fact that they don’t think Wiggins or Poole are players worth building around. It looks like they are looking to grab more established talent to lead the new era of their team.</p><p>It seems that this Kevin Durant trade saga will continue all the way to the start of the season. Will the Nets find the perfect trade by then? We’ll see how this situation plays out in the future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
