"With the way Andrew Wiggins has looked through the first two preseason games, there's a good chance he could end up being a trade piece that ends up swinging the NBA title race. Assuming that the Miami Heat will be in a position to move him (and for a pretty solid return) ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline, it would give the team plenty of power and control."
"But after losing Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, Caleb Martin, and now even Haywood Highsmith for essentially nothing in return over the last few years, the Heat can't possibly make the same mistake with Wiggins. They can't. They won't. Right? It's tough to predict, but if Wiggins is playing at an extremely high level and the Heat are out of the playoff race, or find themselves right back in the Play-In Tournament picture, they'd almost certainly have to strongly consider cutting bait at the deadline."
Andrew Wiggins' strong preseason play positions him as a valuable trade asset who could influence the NBA title picture if moved before the deadline. Miami would gain power and flexibility by trading him for a substantial return. The Heat occupy a rare role where they can affect the top of the league hierarchy without necessarily contending themselves. Recent losses of veteran contributors for little return increase urgency to avoid repeating those mistakes with Wiggins. If Miami falls out of playoff contention or returns to the play-in mix, trading Wiggins becomes a likely consideration for maximizing value.
