"The Miami Heat could gift LeBron James one more huge favor before he retires from the league by trading Andrew Wiggins to the Los Angeles Lakers. Such a move would give LeBron another great shot at winning one last NBA Championship before he calls it a career. The Lakers have been linked to Wiggins since the offseason, and it's been recently reported that they're still keeping tabs on the former All-Star wing."
"This is the same tone that we heard all throughout the offseason. The Heat has never given the indication that they're moving toward the point of trading Wiggins, but because of his contract, it's a natural possibility leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline. Wiggins could opt out of the final year of his contract after this season and test free agency if he wants."
The Miami Heat could trade Andrew Wiggins to the Los Angeles Lakers, creating a stronger title opportunity for LeBron James late in his career. The Lakers have monitored Wiggins since the offseason and would likely pursue him if Miami makes him available. Wiggins can opt out of the final year of his contract after this season and become a free agent. Miami risks losing value if it neither trades him before the deadline nor signs him to an extension. The Heat began the season 11-6 through 17 games with Tyler Herro yet to play, suggesting a higher-than-expected team ceiling.
