"While the Heat clearly like what Wiggins brings-he's been a full-time starter from the moment of his arrival and routinely ranks among their minutes leaders-do they like him enough to be fully comfortable with his $28.2 million salary? How would they feel if he wanted to pick up his $30.2 million player option for next season? And if declined that option, would they make an aggressive attempt to keep him?"
"Draft a list of every team with a win-now intentions, fire a dart at it, and you'll wind up hitting a team that could use another two-way wing on the roster. Every team is hoping to find what Wiggins adds: versatile defense, steady (sometimes incendiary) support scoring, and a three-point shot that has found its mark 38 percent of the time since the start of the 2020-21 campaign."
The Miami Heat enter trade season amid roster uncertainty, with Tyler Herro's reintegration proving difficult and Kel'el Ware remaining a polarizing presence. The franchise could pursue multiple directions before the Feb. 5 deadline, including exploring trades for Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins arrived last season in the Jimmy Butler five-team deal and has been a full-time starter, though his $28.2 million salary and a $30.2 million player option raise contract questions. Wiggins holds significant league value as a two-way wing who provides versatile defense, reliable support scoring, and a 38 percent three-point mark since 2020-21.
