The Golden State Warriors need to do something, and they need to do it now.
For the first time in his career, it seems like Steph Curry is urging the team to make some moves and get him some help.
The Warriors have always tried to keep their championship-winning core together, meaning that moving Draymond Green and Klay Thompson could be out of the question.
Nonetheless, another veteran might not be as lucky, as all signs point to Andrew Wiggins being the odd man out this time.
According to team insider Tim Kawakami, the Warriors are now heavily expected to part ways with the former No. 1 pick (via 95.7 The Game and NBACentral).
The Golden State Warriors are expected to trade Andrew Wiggins, per @timkawakami

Wiggins was stellar since arriving in the Bay Area, embracing a different and lesser role for the first time in his career.
He became a more efficient scorer from all three levels and even took his defense to a whole new level, playing at an All-Defensive-caliber level.
The Warriors rewarded him with a big contract extension, which could make a trade tricky.
He’s regressed vastly since winning that NBA championship two seasons ago, even losing his starting job earlier in the campaign.
Then again, he could still be a valuable player for other championship contenders, and it has become evident that the Warriors just need to do something to stay afloat and right the course of the ship before it’s too late.
They need size and defense, and Wiggins isn’t giving them any of that right now.
