Could Andrew Wiggins Reunite With Cavs on Draft Day?

The Golden State Warriors do not make a selection in the NBA Draft until the second round on Thursday, but that does not mean that they cannot make something happen on day one.

In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes, he outlines one draft-day trade that would make sense for every NBA team. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, he thinks they should send Caris LeVert and the 20th pick to the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins.

"Maybe Cavs fans will gripe about giving up this year's first-rounder and LeVert for a seemingly declining Wiggins, who has three years left on his deal," Hughes writes. "But Wiggins is six months younger than LeVert, has been an All-Star, defends at a level no one in Cleveland's wing rotation can touch and shot over 38 percent from deep in each of the three seasons immediately preceding 2023-24."

The Cavs drafted Wiggins with the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, but he never got to play for them, as he was the main piece in the trade that sent Kevin Love to Cleveland.

Though Wiggins just had an off-year in terms of his offense, he still brings great defense at the small forward position. He failed to provide the offense that the Warriors needed behind Stephen Curry, and LeVert could be a decent option.

If Klay Thompson leaves in free agency, the Warriors might need to start thinking about building for the future. With that being said, acquiring a first-round pick in this trade could be invaluable.
