"As NBA insider Marc Stein notes, it's more likely that the Heat will keep Wiggins on their roster heading into the start of the regular season, but that could change depending on how the season unravels for Miami. If things go south and if the Heat get to a point where they want to shed more salary heading into next summer, the Lakers would emerge as a prime landing spot for the two-way wing."
"I'm sure the Heat would consider it if the right deal came across the table, but it does sound as if this is going to be more of a possibility the closer we get to the NBA Trade Deadline. If the Heat's season does go off the rails by the time February rolls around, that's when we could see a shift in Miami's approach to trade Wiggins. For now, the Heat does seem motivated to give this roster a shot together."
"Honestly, it's hard to blame them, considering they don't believe the duo of Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo got a fair shake with the Jimmy Butler drama all last season. Without that dark cloud hovering over the locker room this season, the hope is that this year will go much differently. Maybe that won't end up being the case in the end, but the Heat's front office has made it quite clear that it wants to give this roster a chance to prove itself."
Andrew Wiggins faces trade speculation with the Los Angeles Lakers frequently linked as a potential suitor. The Heat currently appear likely to retain Wiggins into the regular season, but roster plans could shift if Miami struggles. If the team reaches a point of wanting to reduce salary before next summer, the Lakers could become a primary landing spot for Wiggins. Miami's front office intends to give the current roster, including Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, an opportunity without the previous locker-room drama. Wiggins remains a name to monitor approaching the NBA Trade Deadline.
