The Warriors are stuck in a Wiggins dilemma: the team needs to reevaluate the core composition
In the NBA, the impact of a player's absence on the team cannot be ignored. Just as taking time off from work can cause displeasure from the boss, a player's absence from a game for personal reasons can also lead to concern and criticism from fans and management. Recently, the Warriors' Wiggins missed the game again due to personal reasons, which caused widespread concern and speculation among fans.
Last season, Wiggins missed up to 25 games due to personal matters. According to the grapevine, it was because Wiggins' father was seriously ill that Wiggins also donated bone marrow. These personal reasons have contributed to his sluggish performance this season and disappointing averages per game. Although Wiggins was a champion for the Warriors, in his current form, he is no longer one of the core of the team, and can even be said to be the No. 4 player.
Wiggins' absence has caused problems for the Warriors. His role on the pitch has been limited, and the team's offensive and defensive systems have suffered. Despite Kuminga's excellent performance in his position, the team's overall fighting power has been weakened. And with Wiggins' absence again, the team faces an even bigger challenge.
It's worth noting that the Warriors are keeping Wiggins confidential. In an era where information is so advanced, it's not easy for the Warriors to do that. This has sparked speculation about Wiggins' specific situation, but it also shows how respectful the team is for the privacy of the players.
Faced with Wiggins' predicament, the Warriors need to reassess the composition of the team. Although Wiggins' contract is not huge, given his performance and personal reasons, it is still a question of whether the team needs him. Before the trade deadline, the Warriors should seriously consider whether to send Wiggins away from the team to readjust the team's roster and tactical layout.
As a competitive sport, the NBA is crucial to the state of the players and the overall composition of the team. Wiggins' predicament is a wake-up call for the Warriors and a reminder of the impact of individual player factors on the team. In future games, the Warriors will need to be more careful about the individual issues of their players to ensure the overall stability and competitiveness of the team. And for Wiggins, perhaps this is a moment to re-examine his future, and he needs to adjust his form as soon as possible to get back to his best form in order to earn the trust and support of the team and fans.
