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?
It feels almost cliched to say this team needs to make a major move, but that's only because it has been ( and very much remains) true for a while. If the Heat find the right needle-moving trade, though, they should be careful about its construction. Because while Andrew Wiggins and his $28.2 million salary might help make the math work, he might be too good to give up.
