Heat must get this player from Lakers in any Andrew Wiggins trade

"No one knows for sure if the Miami Heat will eventually trade Andrew Wiggins, but if they do, and the Los Angeles Lakers emerge as the landing spot, Dalton Knecht should be one player the team targets in any return. As Miami looks to continue to retool this roster around Bam Adebayo (and perhaps Tyler Herro), Knecht is not only a player who would add another element to the team's young core, but he could be the long-term answer to replacing Duncan Robinson."

"Earlier this week, it was reported that the Lakers would still be interested in a trade for Wiggins under the right circumstances. Even though nothing seems imminent between the two teams, this is certainly a situation worth monitoring over the next few months. This could absolutely be a possibility that is revisited closer to the NBA Trade Deadline, especially if this season gets away from the Heat sooner than many expect it to."

"In that scenario, prioritizing a player like Knecht in a return for Wiggins could be a sneaky strong move for the Heat. Dalton Knecht could be a Heat reclamation project Through it all, Knecht had a pretty solid rookie season for the Lakers. He may not have played a big role for the team down the stretch or in the NBA Playoffs, but the talent is clearly there."

Miami could trade Andrew Wiggins to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Heat could target Dalton Knecht in any return. Knecht offers shooting, youth, and potential to replace Duncan Robinson long-term while adding another piece to the young core alongside Bam Adebayo and possibly Tyler Herro. The Lakers have shown interest in moving Wiggins under the right circumstances, and Miami could shift to seller mode if the season falters. Knecht delivered a solid rookie season, showing clear talent despite limited playoff role, and could benefit from Miami's development-focused environment.
