The Golden State Warriors are back to contending for NBA Championships again. After going through a two-year stretch where they didn’t qualify for the playoffs, things are back to normal. With a great mixture of veteran talent and young blood, and Stephen Curry leading the team, the Warriors can compete for years to come. However, it seems like an important member of their team is being circled by a potential suitor.

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.

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.
