The Warriors will owe Wiggins at least $54 million over the next two seasons.

He also has a $30 million option for the 2027 season.

Therefore, the Warriors could be on the hook for as much as $84 million.

While Wiggins has been extremely important for the Warriors, his production over the last few seasons is cause for concern.

Evan Sidery noted that Wiggins would be an ideal trade candidate over the offseason.

Via Sidery: “The Warriors are expected to actively shop Andrew Wiggins in trade talks this offseason.

Wiggins has $84.7 million remaining on his contract over the next three years.
With the emergence of Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State will attempt to offload Wiggins for a better fit.”

Wiggins (29) was the first pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and has also played part of six seasons for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
