The 30-year-old is one of the more notable names circulating in trade speculation following his brief stint with the Miami Heat.</p><p>Wiggins, a former All-Star, was traded to Miami in a multi-team deal that also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-jimmy-butler-heat-trade">sent Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors</a>.</p><p>He averaged 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game over 17 appearances for the Heat, shooting 45.8% from the field and 36% from beyond the arc. Entering his 13th NBA season, Wiggins is owed $28.2 million for 2025–26 and holds a $30.1 million player option for 2026–27.</p><p>The Bucks’ reported interest in Wiggins reflects a broader effort to reshape their roster around two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee finished the 2024–25 season with a disappointing early playoff exit and has since explored several avenues to upgrade its wing depth and perimeter defense.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/sources-lakers-heat-moving-forward-andrew-wiggins-trade-talks">Wiggins has also been heavily linked to the Los Angeles Lakers</a> in recent days. The two teams have reportedly held exploratory discussions, adding further intrigue to his potential movement this offseason. The Lakers are seeking additional scoring and wing defense to bolster their roster around LeBron James and Luka Doncic.</p><p>Bobby Portis Jr., a key contributor over the past few seasons, could be a central piece in any prospective trade scenario. League sources have indicated that the Warriors — who previously sent Wiggins to Miami — are monitoring Portis’ availability as they weigh potential roster changes amid financial constraints.</p><h2><b>Bucks, Heat, and Warriors linked to potential multi-team deal involving Wiggins, Portis, and Kuminga</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Andrew-Wiggins-on-April-20-2025.-2.jpg"><figcaption>David Richard-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Siegel also floated the possibility of a multi-team deal involving the Bucks, Heat, and Warriors. Such a scenario could include Wiggins, Portis, and 22-year-old forward <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/miami-heat/nba-rumors-shams-confirms-heats-jonathan-kuminga-interest-amid-warriors-uncertainty">Jonathan Kuminga, who remains a coveted asset</a> around the league.</p><p>Kuminga is entering free agency and is reportedly seeking a deal north of $30 million per season. Golden State, faced with luxury tax concerns, may opt to explore sign-and-trade opportunities involving the young forward rather than commit long term.</p><p>“Could there be a path to a multi-team sign-and-trade involving Kuminga, Wiggins, and Portis between Golden State, Milwaukee, and Miami?” Siegel wrote. “While this is purely speculation in terms of the trade scenario, there is a path that could financially work for all parties.”</p><p>Milwaukee’s front office has remained quiet publicly but has been active in assessing potential roster moves. The Bucks are aiming to bolster their versatility and wing play after injuries and depth issues derailed their playoff run. Adding a player like Wiggins could help address both ends of the floor, provided the financial and contractual implications align.</p><p>The Warriors, meanwhile, continue to balance competitiveness with financial flexibility. While they are not actively shopping Kuminga, the uncertainty surrounding his contract demands has left open the door for negotiations involving interested teams like Miami, Milwaukee, and Los Angeles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Heat would be looking to land Rui Hachimura and his expiring contract, plus further expiring money to match salaries.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/nba-rumors-lakers-check-in-with-heat-on-andrew-wiggins-trade">After reporting the Lakers checked in</a> with the Heat about Wiggins’ price, sources tell ClutchPoints that trade talks have advanced to the next step, though nothing is considered imminent as of right now. ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel previously reported <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/celtics-offseason-trade-intel-after-jayson-tatum-injury-siegels-scoop">Miami has made Wiggins very available</a> so far this summer and has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-nba-draft-big-board-5-0-76ers-final-ace-bailey-vj-edgecombe-decision">maintained that stance</a>.</p><p>Wiggins, 30, is coming off a solid season in which he averaged 18.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and just under a steal per night while shooting 45% from the floor, 37% from 3-point range and 76% from the line. He played 60 games between his stints with the Golden State Warriors and Heat, after being the centerpiece of the Jimmy Butler trade.</p><p>Hachimura, 27, also had a really nice year for the Lakers, averaging 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a little less than a steal per night on 51/41/77 shooting splits. He has improved every year he has been a Laker and is quite popular throughout the organization.</p><p>A Wiggins-Hachimura swap wouldn’t work straight up, so one of either Maxi Kleber or Gabe Vincent’s contracts would have to also be included. League sources believe Miami would push for Dalton Knecht in the trade, as the Lakers may not want to trade their 2031 or ’32 first-round pick before they address their vacant center position. Miami might also look to move Kyle Anderson and the two years, $18.8 million left on his contract.</p><p>If the Lakers push to keep Hachimura out of the trade, they would almost certainly have to include some first-round draft capital, as well as either the No. 55 pick in this year’s draft or a future pick swap, though sources do indicate Miami likes Hachimura’s shooting ability at his size.</p><p>Now, fans may be wondering why the Lakers would entertain this kind of deal while their center spot is in such dire straits, but league sources say Rob Pelinka hasn’t been thrilled with the asking prices he has been presented with this summer in trade talks. If they went ahead with this deal or something similar, look for the Lakers to acquire next year’s starting center with their mid-level exception. As things stand right now, they would have access to the taxpayer mid-level exception, worth $5.7 million.</p><p>It’s also possible these kinds of rumors are being floated so that those teams the Lakers have been holding trade talks with for a starting center might believe they’re serious about using their trade assets on something else if prices for centers don’t drop. This is smokescreen season, after all.</p><p>For the Lakers, this deal would make sense as so much of their salary cap is devoted to players who naturally defend power forwards. They desperately lacked footspeed on the perimeter last season and Wiggins addresses that issue. His ability to knock down open triples makes him one of the more popular wings on the market this offseason.</p><p>For the Heat, they land a younger wing in Hachimura and a lot more financial flexibility than they currently have to work with. If Knecht is also included in the trade, they’d be able to maximize his potential in their development program, which has a nice track record of molding young players with his skill set.</p><p>Again, nothing is necessarily imminent, but whispers on this front have been swirling over the last week or so and these conversations are expected to continue as the league heads into Wednesday’s first round of the draft.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have asked about what the price would be.”</p><p>“In practice, you know, the thing with Wiggins is that the practical application of Andrew Wiggins isn’t always what the theoretical Andrew Wiggins gets hyped up to be,” Irwin continued. “And you arrive at a pretty meh experience, sometimes.”:</p><h2><b>Lakers with interest in Heat’s Andrew Wiggins</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Andrew-Wiggins-on-March-25-2025.-4.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-rumors-nick-wright-predicts-austin-reaves-trade-value-after-desmond-bane">Lakers have rumors surrounding such players as Austin Reaves</a>, the primary goal is to continue to build around Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Wiggins has been a productive player, but Irwin has some concerns in regards to how “driven he is,” which the team takes “very seriously.”</p><p>“Have I heard of any interest in him? I think right now the Lakers are interested in any athlete,” Irwin said. “But there have been some other situations there where it’s like you aren’t necessarily sure if basketball is the highest priority, and when you have a guy making that much money, like, I better eat, sleep, and breathe the sport,” Irwin continued. “So some of those questions about how driven he is, those are the kinds of things that the Lakers take very seriously.”</p><p>At any rate, Los Angeles looks to improve after a disappointing early playoff exit after finishing third in the West.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There are some differences there, but in general, they are similar types of players, and Austin’s two years older than Tyler Hero, and he’s only one year younger than Bam Adebayo.”</p><h2><b>Lakers could use Andrew Wiggins at the wing</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Andrew-Wiggins-on-April-20-2025.-2.jpg"><figcaption>David Richard-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-rumors-harsh-reality-austin-reaves-trade-situation">Reaves’ name being mentioned as a trade piece</a> for the Lakers, Buha also mentioned that a wing is a need for the team, which Wiggins fits the bill. This past season, he played the latter half of the year with the Heat after the Golden State Warriors traded him as part of the Jimmy Butler deal.</p><p>While Buha mentions that Wiggins would be someone who “would make sense,” he doesn’t have that much intel on him specifically, though he comes up with a possible trade idea.</p><p>“I think Wiggins, if the Lakers are looking to address the wing need on the trade market, Wiggins is a guy that I like a lot, and you can get there probably with some base of Rui plus matching salary.</p><p>“Like, for me, any trade where the Lakers can add a rotation player and not give up one of their top six, I would say, like the line for me starts at Gabe, where I’d be willing to give him up for an upgrade. So I have not heard specifically Wiggins, but he is the type of target that would make sense for them.”</p><p>At any rate, Los Angeles looks to improve after finishing 50-32, which put them third in the West, but they lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Minnesota Timberwolves.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/miami-heat/heat-news-bam-adebayos-embarrassing-admission-after-miamis-worst-playoff-loss-in-history">Heat’s 37-point Game 3 loss</a>, which is the worst playoff defeat in the team’s history, there’s no doubt that feelings from the basketball world are that if the team wants to extend the series to the Cavs, Wiggins needs to play a huge part.</p><p>Wiggins was part of the trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors, as he’s been Miami’s third option after Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Despite the limited availability due to injuries, he has been productive, though the playoff series against Cleveland has been underwhelming.</p><p>Still, he has a tough mindset, which is shared by the rest of the team, despite having a 0-3 series deficit, as no team has ever come back from. Wiggins would say to ClutchPoints that the goal for the Heat is to <a href="https://x.com/ZachWeinberger/status/1916615967444005335" rel="noopener">“fight to the end.”</a></p><p>“You fight to the end. Especially here [with the Heat], they fight to the end,” Wiggins said after Sunday’s practice. “As long as there is another game, there’s a chance.
