Warriors Should Look To Move James Wiseman At The Deadline

The Golden State Warriors are looking to repeat as NBA Champions and add another ring to their dynasty.

But, to do that they may need a few more solid contributors off the bench.

Having another veteran or two that can contribute should be on the Warriors’ trade list.

But, what players are they willing to move to get such help?

One name is former second-overall pick, James Wiseman.

The 21-year-old has yet to carve out a role in his NBA career.

He has spent time between the G-League and NBA this season and has not made much of an impact.

Wiseman still has a chance to be a good player in the league, but he could use a change of scenery.

It remains to be seen what his value might be across the league.

But, a few different rebuilding teams would be crazy not to give Wiseman a chance.

As we take a look at the Warriors’ timeline, Wiseman does not fit into what they are trying to accomplish this season.

He is not ready to contribute as a backup center, and sending him back and forth to the G-league could damage his confidence.

Plus the Warriors already have Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody who are more NBA-ready than Wiseman.

If the Golden State front office is serious about continuing this dynasty, they should look to trade some youth for some experience.

The Warriors could use any type of defensive playmaker at guard or on the wings.

For a team that is allowing 116.8 points per game, Golden State needs to get back to the elite defense we saw last season.

Ultimately, the Warriors should be in the trade market and Wiseman should be one player they should move.
