Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has been included in a lot of trade rumors over the last several weeks. An All-Star in 2022, Wiggins has been unable to replicate that production this season, averaging a career-low 11.9 PPG on a career-low from deep, and the second-worst field goal percentage of his career as well.

There have been different reports about the possible interest Wiggins has on the trade market, with some suggesting the veteran forward has little to no value, and others believing he could net something in return. 

In a recent article, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports wrote, "Dallas has been one of the teams engaged in acquiring Siakam, sources said. The Mavericks continue to be linked to various versatile forwards, from Andrew Wiggins to P.J. Washington to old friend Dorian Finney-Smith, according to league sources."

With a star backcourt of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Dallas could use help on the wing, especially defensively. While Wiggins' offense has been very poor this season, there is real defensive upside that has shown itself over the last few seasons in Golden State. If Dallas could tap into this, while also using the creation of Doncic to unlock Wiggins' offense, then the fit could make sense.

This will be an interesting trade deadline, and one the Warriors are expected to be active at.
