WOW! The Lakers are interested in Wiggins! There may be another big deal

famous reporter Stein: If the Lakers want to have both offense and defense and wing players who can increase the team's ceiling, if the Heat plan to reduce their total salary in the future, they may take this opportunity to get Wiggins. The contract that Wiggins is executing expires in the summer of 27, with salary of $28.22 million and $30.17 million respectively in the next two seasons. The Lakers were unwilling to take over players who had a multi-year contract, but the position has loosened as Doncic renews his contract ($165 million for three years) completed.

If Doncic + James + Wiggins + Hachimura + Laravia + Vanderbilt is formed, the Lakers have at least one of the best wings in the league in the new season, which will be very conducive to their 25-26 championship.

In February this year, Wiggins was sent to Miami by the Warriors in the Butler trade. Last season, he played 17 regular season games for the Heat, averaging 32.1 minutes per game, contributing 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 breaks, with 45.8%, 36% and 73.1% of the three events; in the playoffs, he averaged 30.5 minutes per game, scoring 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 hats, and 37.2%, 35% and 70% of the three events.

Wiggins helped the Warriors win the championship as a core identity in 22 years. He is a player who has experienced the test of high-end games. It also shows that the teams who compete for the championship can maximize their level. On the contrary, it is a bit embarrassing to position the team on the edge of the playoffs, and even the bottom teams like the Heat, which is why he frequently falls into trading rumors this summer.

By the way, the contract James is executing will expire next summer, with a salary of up to $52.63 million, and the Lakers have no plans to renew his contract. Therefore, if Wiggins brings his talent to the Lakers, it will be a substitute for the former to "uspense the throne" as early as 26-27 season.

Of course, considering that the Lakers intend to make big moves in the summer of 2027, Wiggins' contract will expire at that time, so they may face the fate of being abandoned like James, unless the required salary renewal period is within the acceptable range of management.

Whether it is the Lakers or other teams, the championship team should be Wiggins' ideal destination!
