If NO.2 pick is with the trade, I'd do a Ross + AG + 15th pick for Wiggins and 2 pick. We get a wing scorer and we can draft someone highly regard.
If he was not bothered by Butler beating him with G league roster at practice, while playing with KAT, being called "pu***",being lazy and late at practice because of video games, entering his 7th year... Yea there is bigger chance he helps others develop "don't try they will pay you regardless" work ethic
Warriors won't attach pick to him without landing star.
You're contradicting yourself...If he's that awful and his deal is obviously absurd, why would GSW expect a star in return for the #2 pick with his carcass attached?
My counter is not that Wiggins is good, but that his attachment makes it possible to reach for #2 WITHOUT offering a star. ORL is so far from contending that I'd absorb the poison that is Wiggins to get #2 and put us slightly ahead of our 2030 date with destiny.
(and who knows, maybe Wiggins turns it around

)
Well 2# pick has higher "keeper" value than Wiggins has negative one.
Would you give up your garage just to give up your garbage car? Well neither would Warriors.
Wiggins sucks, but they don't need to give away best assest possible just to escape his crappy deal.
There are also some trade scenarios including Wiggins that could help Warriors turn into contender without giving up 2# pick. For example Demar Derozan for Wiggins, it's a rental and Derozan isn't great player, but mostly because of inability to shoot. Doesn't really matter if he plays behind 2 of greatest shooters of our time.
Andre Drummond ( also one year rental) for Wiggins could make sense as well, Bulls have Otto Porter on one overpayed year left as well. Reunion with Harrison Barnes isn't that bad of an idea... IT all depends how high Warriors are on 2020 prospects. To me,for them keeping pick and drafting ( and showcasing ) that player around Klay and Curry will boost his trade value, especially if it's Wiseman, because guy will have the easiest job in the world, just set screen and roll. They also could boost Wiggins trade value, because it's not really that hard play behind 2 amazing shooters and 1 great passing big. Even Barnes looked like allstar doing so.
