Overview
- Insider Evan Sidery reported the sides have resumed discussions on a deal to send Andrew Wiggins to the Lakers before training camp.
- Los Angeles is described as open to including 2024 first-rounder Dalton Knecht plus expiring salaries, while Miami wants a future first-rounder attached.
- The Lakers currently have only one tradable first-round pick under NBA rules, a constraint that complicates meeting the Heat’s price.
- Jovan Buha has cautioned that a pre-camp move is possible but that a deal is likelier after December 15 or closer to the trade deadline.
- Interest in Wiggins has grown since Luka Dončić’s extension signaled a win-now posture, with earlier talks reportedly stalling over a package that included Rui Hachimura and a first.
