Earlier this week, reports surfaced <\/a>that the Miami Heat were making Andrew Wiggins available in trade talks with the hopes of trying to improve their roster.<\/p>\n Well, we received additional confirmation on Wednesday, hours ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft, where the Heat own the No. 20 pick.<\/p>\n According<\/a> to ClutchPoints\u2019 Anthony Irwin, a Lakers insider, the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers have \u201ccontinued their trade talks\u201d surrounding the 30-year-old wing, even though no deal is imminent.<\/p>\n Sources: The Lakers and Heat have continued their trade talks. I reported the other day that the Lakers checked in on Andrew Wiggins and negotiations have advanced from there. A deal isn’t imminent, but there’s been plenty of conversation on this front.<\/p>\n Link coming shortly.<\/p>\n \u2014 Anthony F. Irwin (@AnthonyIrwinLA) June 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Wiggins, 30, has two years, $58 million left on his current contract, including a player option in 2026-27.<\/p>\n The Heat acquired Wiggins at the deadline as the headliner for Jimmy Butler being shipped to Golden State. Though Wiggins\u2019 tenure, while filled with perhaps a handful of promising moments, was underwhelming.<\/p>\n He dealt with multiple lower-body injuries for the majority of his stint with the Heat, averaging just 19.0 points and 4.2 rebounds on 45.8\/36.0\/73.1 shooting splits in 17 games. <\/p>\n Considering the former No. 1 overall pick coming one of his least available seasons since entering the NBA in 2014, his value is in the eye of the beholder. The Heat enter this summer roughly $15 million away from the first apron (not accounting for its first-round pick Wednesday \u2026 if it\u2019s used) and $27 million away from the second-apron, according<\/a> to Spotrac.<\/p>\n Could the Lakers possibly entice Miami with a combination of Dorian Finney-Smith, Rui Hachimura and Dalton Knecht. Could a Gabe Vincent reunion be on the horizon? All of those aforementioned names outside of Knecht are expiring contracts.<\/p>\n What you part Wiggins for if he\u2019s heading for Los Angeles?
