With the new PoBO in Minnesota, it's rumored they may want to dump Wiggins. Due to his contract, it would be difficult to get assets for him outside of cap relief.
Utah can trade them Favors and Exum for Wiggins if they are simply OK with a deal that is mostly a salary dump.
If Utah did that deal, they could have 18.4 million (waiving everyone besides O'Neale and Niang) in cap-space pre-deal to a sign a free agent (they would have slightly less post-deal).
Jazz could use that space to re-sign Rubio or get a new player. There would be a lot of groans bringing Rubio back, but it is worth noting Wiggins last good year was with Rubio. Post Rubio trade is when Wiggins started diminishing.
Wiggins reputation isnt great. He's had two disappointing years after having his big 3rd season. He's neither a good shooter or good defender, but he's super long and athletic. He can create his own shot and still has potential. Can Utah return his career back to the star path he looked like he was on entering his 4th season?
