Wiggins return to the team training: Perseverance and prospects under the trading rumors

On September 22, a 30-year-old Heat player Andrew Wiggins caught the attention of many fans. He posted photos of himself training with his teammates Adebayo, Weir and Hax after returning to the team. In the photos, he grinned, and his innocent and healing smile was filled with joy and vitality. This is also the first time Wiggins posted a training photo this year in the offseason.

Before the trading deadline of last season, Wiggins switched from the Warriors to the Heat in that big deal involving Butler. After joining the Heat, he quickly integrated into the team, helping the Heat to pass the game in the playoffs, defeating the Bulls and Hawks one after another, and finally advancing to the playoffs with eighth place in the East. Although he was swept out by the Cavaliers 0-4 in the first round, Wiggins' performance at the Heat is still remarkable, injecting strong vitality into the team.

Recently, Wiggins has once again been trapped in the whirlpool of trading rumors. It is reported that the Lakers intend to use Kneckett and the expiration contract to exchange for Wiggins, and the two sides have negotiated. However, the negotiation process was not smooth, the Heat asked Wiggins to be quite expensive, but the Lakers were reluctant to raise the offer, so the deal could only be put on hold for the time being. At present, the Heat plan to observe Wiggins' performance in the early stage of the new season before deciding whether to trade it.

Now, Wiggins's training photos in the Heat uniform are undoubtedly a response to various trading rumors. In the photo, he and his teammates were training carefully in the Heat Training Hall, smiling and in excellent condition. This not only shows his sense of belonging to the Heat, but also conveys a positive attitude of focusing on the present and not being disturbed by the outside world. As the No. 1 pick in 2014, Wiggins has been in the Timberwolves, Warriors and Heat. In the 2021-22 season, he helped the Warriors win the championship and proved his strength. After switching to the Heat last season, he averaged 32.1 minutes in 17 games, contributing 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals, and his data performance was impressive. His comprehensiveness and positive contributions on both the offense and defense, both in the Warriors and the Heat, have brought important support to the team.

For Wiggins, trading rumors may be the norm in his career, but every challenge is also an opportunity for growth. He knew very well that only by maintaining concentration and constantly improving his competitive state can he gain a foothold in the unpredictable league. The Heat's current wait-and-see attitude also reflects their recognition and expectations for Wiggins' strength. Performance in the early stage of the new season will become a key factor in determining Wiggins' future destination.

From the perspective of fans, everyone hopes that Wiggins can continue to show his strength on the court, whether he will stay with the Heat in the end. His smile and positive training attitude undoubtedly brought confidence and expectations to the fans. The changes in the basketball court are the charm of it, and Wiggins' story will surely continue to be written in the new season. Let's wait and see if he can make a new breakthrough with the Heat or start a new journey after the trade.
