Overview
- The Lakers have revisited trade talks with Miami for Andrew Wiggins as the February deadline approaches, per reporting from Evan Sidery.
- Miami has declined early proposals and is not actively shopping Wiggins, according to Brett Siegel.
- League assessments suggest Los Angeles may be priced out of top 3-and-D targets like Wiggins and Herb Jones without stronger assets.
- Salary matching for Wiggins’ $28.2 million deal would likely center on Rui Hachimura plus another expiring contract, with picks or a young prospect expected to be part of Miami’s asking price.
- Wiggins is in his first full season with the Heat and is averaging 15.8 points with 38.8% three-point shooting, and the Bucks are also cited as a potential suitor.
