The Golden State Warriors could look to make some moves ahead of the trade deadline.
For the first time in Stephen Curry’s career, the four-time NBA champion seems to be putting some pressure on the front office to get some deals done.
A lot of their struggles have had to do with their championship core’s regression.
Outside of Curry, most veterans have struggled mightily this season, mainly Andrew Wiggins.
Even despite that, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports that the Dallas Mavericks are keeping tabs on the former No. 1 pick (via NBACentral).

Wiggins lost his starting job in the Bay Area.
His shot just wasn’t falling, and he seemed to lose a step on defense.
The Warriors rewarded his strong play in their last championship run by signing him to a big contract extension, and they wanted him to be a part of their future.
Nonetheless, it seems like those plans have changed, and he’s expected to be the odd man out, especially with Jonathan Kuminga looking more than ready to embrace a bigger role.
The Mavs could definitely use some stoppers at the wing, and Wiggins proved to be quite a serviceable defender in his first couple of years in Golden State.
Perhaps he just needs a change of scenery to be back to his best, and he could also be another reliable scoring option behind Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Tim Hardaway Jr.
Still, it’ll be interesting to see what the Warriors could ask in return for him.
