That just shows how far off we are when it comes to KPs value. Most Warriors fans don´t want to trade Wiggins straight up for KP. Wiggins is on a horrible contract as well but he improved as a defender and rarely misses games. Wiggins missed one game in his first four seasons. 19 over his entire career. Oubres contract is a lot better but he probably is the worst player among the three mentioned guys.
Healthy KP is obviously a way better player and we can hope that GMs have a higher opinion than the fans but I do think that the 2nd pick in the draft has more value than KP right now. Even more important. The Warriors play a switch heavy defense. Not sure how that is going to work with KP.
Personally I would do it without thinking twice but I am probably higher on Wiseman than most guys. People tend to forget that he is among the youngest players in the draft class and never played any college games. No suprise that he isn´t having a positive net impact in his first season. But he has nearly unlimited potential. Make no mistake. He would have been the undisputed first pick without the ban.

You’re probably right. GSW probably would try to keep Wiggins if they could. Oubre is a worse player by a good bit. A lineup of Curry/Thompson/Wiggins/Green/KP would be my goal if i was a warriors fan. Green is the perfect front court partner for KP and KP would fit well in their system. Also KP would fit their timeline better than Wiseman and the Minny pick. Also, if we got both the MIN 1st AND Wiseman I’d expect we would need to send another asset to GSW

For our end I would keep Wiseman and try to flip everything else we have to make it a 3 team trade. ATL, ORL and CHI all make a ton of sense and would greatly value a MIN 1st. Horford would make sense too but i don’t think it’s possible to include either Oubre or Johnson in a trade for him. 

Something like: 
GSW get: KP, small asset from mavs

CHI gets: Oubre, MIN 1st, small  asset from mavs, GSW sends any contracts they don’t want to CHI

DAL gets: Wiseman, Markkanen and Thad Young
