Bogan Bogdanovic to the Golden State Warriors: Doesn't make sense

At one point the Warriors might have made sense as a Bogdanovic destination.

They are another team on the cusp of the playoffs, but unlike the Rockets, their window is closing fast. The Pistons would likely love to get Jonathan Kuminga, but the Warriors can't take back a penny in extra salary, so Golden State would have to come up with $20 million in salary to send the Pistons.

Andrew Wiggins has been awful this year, so the Warriors might be up for a straight-up swap just to get off his salary, but then the Pistons would be on the hook for three more years of contract obligations to Wiggins.

Even if the Warriors would do a Bojan/Wiggins swap, would it be worth it for the Pistons? It would be a risk, possibly one worth taking, but as it stands, it's hard to find a way to get Bojan to Golden State, as they don't have an upcoming pick to trade and the salaries are difficult to match.
