captain bill
All-Star
The core of this trade is the Warriors selling of their picks to win now - and the Kings have assets that will help get them there. The Kings will move up to #2 and get Minny's 2021 1st in exchange for Buddy, Bjelica, & Bogi in a S&T. 3rd team takes on Wiggins terrible contract in exchange for the #12 pick without giving up anything
Kings: Send Buddy, Belly, Bogi (S&T) to the Warriors. Send #12 to 3rd team who is absorbing Wiggins cap hit. Receive #2 pick this year + Minnesota's 2021 1st.
Warriors: Send #2 this year + Minnesota's 2021 1st to Sacramento. Wiggins sent to 3rd team. Receive Buddy, Belly + Bogi.
3rd team (Hawks/Pistons/other): Accepts Wiggins contract. Get #12 from the Kings this year
---
Why for the Kings: go into full rebuild, move up to #2 this year and get a good 1st round pick next year to complement our own (now tanked) 1st
Why for Warriors: they need depth to win more rings. They give up 2 picks that are very good, but won't help them win now, for 3 players who fit in their system and will help them get win immediately. They are also dumping Wiggins and his albatross of a contract.
Why for the 3rd team (Hawks Pistons or another team with cap room): this is a team that wants to use its cap space to get a good asset. They take on Wiggins in exchange for the #12 pick this year - without giving up any assets.
