Ah! The Lakers are once again courting Wiggins! A 4-for-1 trade plan has been revealed.

“Stop looking, he’s already taken.”

Reporter Fischer recently stated,The Lakers remain interested in Wiggins, monitoring whether the Heat would be willing to trade him.

Previously, a proactive American media source had already offered advice to the Lakers,proposing a package of Kleber + Knecht + Vincent + a 2027 first-round pick (top-10 protected) to snatch Wiggins from the Heat.

Doncic (2018 third pick) + Reaves (one of the greatest undrafted players ever) + James (2003 first overall) + Wiggins (2014 first overall) + Ayton (2018 first overall) — this Lakers starting lineup is truly intimidating, overflowing with talent.

Our guy Reaves is known for his two-way play; this season he averages 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 48.1% and 36.5% from the field and three-point line respectively. With his 2022 experience as a key wing helping the Warriors win the championship, if he really joins the Lakers, the purple-and-gold’s chances of winning the title this season would soar.

Wiggins’ current contract runs through the summer of 2027, with a salary of $28.22 million this season and $30.17 million next season. Trade rumors about him have been nonstop this offseason, but the issue now is thatthe Heat are on a roll, currently sitting third in the East with a 12-6 record.Since they have a strong chance to make the playoffs, they are unlikely to dismantle their current core lineup.

So, although the Lakers are eager, realistically, acquiring Wiggins during this season seems unlikely.

The Lakers’ strong interest in Wiggins stems not only from his talent but also because his contract expires in summer 2027, and the Lakers plan to clear enough salary space then to make a big move — aiming to pursue stars like Giannis or Jokic and establish a core centered around European players.

Therefore, if Wiggins can’t be traded to the Lakers, it might not be a bad thing. Although he would lose the chance to chase a second career championship, at least he won’t be cruelly discarded after just a year or two. Earlier this year, the Warriors traded him to the Heat for Butler, which still weighs on his mind...
