Is Trading For Andrew Wiggins Worth It For Lakers?

1. No! Wiggins is not worth giving up Rui or even giving up 4 players for him. I think we need to go away from this Wiggins idea. Let’s go to work with our current team and look to make a trade mid season.

2. I think we need to stop this type of thinking and instead just get the best possible talent at all cost

3. 5:48 nice transition

4. Wiggins isn't worth it anymore. Maybe 3 years ago. Of course trading lebron for him would make them a little better but knecht is a star in the making if they use him more. Yall act like he can't shoot he was amazing as a rookie. And he outplayed Cooper flagg in summer league. Everyone has bad games as a shooter. Look at curry he can miss 20 in a row but u know he'll get hot

5. Create contrast bubbles like we did in early education. That'll give progressive insight. Just saying.

6. Wiggins would be nice

7. This is a wishlist of what if's. But financially realistically I doubt it.

8. NOT WORTH IT. Get a young and athletic 3 and D wing

9. Can't be any worse, Hachi is so damn inconsistent

10. Do it!

11. Lakers blessed guys

12. Yes anybody in the package but Rui Bron and Luka

13. Hell NO!!!!

14. Anyone thinking Rui is better than Wiggins didn’t watch the Warriors beating the Celtics in the finals. He’s a career 18.5 pts per game scorer Almost 6 pts more than Rui, He’s a better wing/ball defender, he has championship experience and is only 30 years old. Stop waiting to see development from a 27 year old player lol. Luka & Bron want to win NOW!

15. Like putting new tires on a Ford Pinto

16. Nope, not worth it

17. Trev, instead of Wiggins, could we go after Oubre + Drummond…what could that look like and does it hurt us apron-wise?

18. WTF WHY IS THIS EVEN A TOPIC????

    How can not ppl see trading for wiggles is like giving away Rui for a weaker, washed up Rui…

    Too many idiots and trevor listened still…sheesh

19. I say be patient. Someone will come up that will be what we need. It will happen.

20. I want them to build and develop a team instead of constantly trying the quick fix it's getting old

21. He is worth Rui and Dalton. I just can't stomach giving up a draft pick for him when Miami CLEARLY wants to let him go.

22. Rui shouldn’t even be traded, he was a player that didn’t give up in the playoffs, even when we were losing games.

23. No, not at all!!??

24. You’re so good at just rambling about something on and on and on for 15 mins saying absolutely nothing

25. I would rather go get vuicic from bulls as our backup

26. Wiggins is way better than AR. Keep Rui. AR does not fit with LeBron and Luka.

27. Not giving up the pick or Dalton for Wiggins- he just doesn't move the needle enough.

28. We are not going to get a Fringe All-Star 2-Way Wing without giving up some type of 1st Round Pic(k)!!! In addition to that Wiggins has won a Championship and a 6MOTY!!!

    And, We can still get Thybulle as a FA in Summer 2026!!! But, there is a Huge Difference between Thybulle and Wiggins!!!

29. That Vando contract is an albatross and he has this season and two more. If he'd improved possibly a team would take him in a trade they could keep Rui.

30. Hell no!

31. 1st… the key ingredient to be successful in this CBA are 1st rnd picks… what is crippling long large contracts to players that are not key championship pieces… the warriors dumped Wiggins because he was not worth the money because he doesn't care mentally… Teague has a take where he says he told Wiggins he could be an all star and Wiggins said he wasn't about that life… he was about that 20 mill a year and go home… YOU CAN NOT SPEND CAP AND MONEY LIKE THIS ON A GUY WHO DOESN'T CARE… no brainer you don't do it… you use your expiring contracts and 1st to bring in a key piece at the trade deadline when teams are more willing to part with players for assets once they know they can't win… this is a no brainer

32. Idk I'd rather see where we currently are with Smart, Ayton, and LaRavia before we trade any of our core away

33. Wiggins has to much money in his contract. Not worth it giving up Rui. Gabe still has value just in case of injuries. And not only that but what if we want to resign Ayton and Smart? We would be screwed with contracts that are on the books.

34. Trade Austin Reeves and keep Rui, Reeves is leaving anyway

35. Trade Reeves and Rui for Mitchell and Wiggins

36. If we are trading rui go get MPJ instead he is 6’10 good rebounder perfect fit next to Lebron and Luka plus we can trade Gabe rui and maxi for him no first since they are all on expiring deals and he will expire the year after

37. Is this trade supposed to happen before the season starts or at the trade deadline?

38. It seems that the Lakers will never learn not to trade depth for one player.🤷🏿‍♂️

39. Let’s go get isaac bonga instead

40. Nope

41. NO ITS NOT WORTH IT!! TRADE REEVES THO!!💯💯💯🥱☀️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥
