According to some reports, the Cleveland Cavaliers are thinking about Andrew Wiggins inside their organization. This could be a sort of homecoming for the Canadian star. Cleveland selected Wiggins as the number one overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. But he was then traded to the Timberwolves as part of a trade for Kevin Love.

Wiggins would then go on to play for the Timberwolves for five seasons before getting traded to the Warriors. He is a three and D player, which is a very rare skill in the league. He has adjusted his game to his current need and is an important role player right now for the Warriors. His stock is high right now and it would take a big offer from the Cavs to make Golden State even think about moving him.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors
The Warriors currently face the Dallas Mavericks in their series. Warriors lead the Western Conference Finals 3-1 with a chance to close the series tonight at home. As their core of Steph, Klay, and Draymond ages, they need to make full use of every chance they get at a championship.
