Six years ago, the Golden State Warriors altered the NBA landscape when they signed Kevin Durant. They’re hopeful of landing another big swing this summer, even after seemingly missing out on Paul George.
The LA Clippers‘ nine-time All-Star declined his player option for next season, all-but slamming the door on a future with the Warriors.
Now, they’ll turn their attention elsewhere, and look at trade packages featuring Andrew Wiggins. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported on their plans ahead of free agency’s opening.
“What big swings are still out there, as Golden State has also put Andrew Wiggins on the trade block, according to league sources,” Fischer wrote. “The options range across a spectrum of upside, from sending out picks for Brandon Ingram to potentially acquiring one with Zach LaVine, sources said.”
Zach LaVine seems a more natural fit, given the pending loss of Klay Thompson to free agency.
The two-time All-Star appeared in just 25 games for the Chicago Bulls last season before undergoing season-ending foot surgery. LaVine averaged 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.
