The Milwaukee Bucks were another team who pursued Wiggins and held dialogue with the Miami Heat about his availability, sources said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither team could meet Miami\u2019s high asking price, even though the Heat \u201cnever showed great interest\u201d in trading Wiggins, per Siegel, as they wanted to see how he fits next to offseason acquisition Norman Powell, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Coveted by Contenders<\/h2>\n<p>Wiggins, who has a $30 million player option in 2026-27, is reportedly coveted by title contenders across the league, primarily for his defense and championship pedigree. Wiggins played a vital role in the Golden State Warriors\u2018 2022 title win, shutting down Jayson Tatum in the NBA Finals and emerging as the team\u2019s second-best player.<\/p>\n<p>A team such as the Lakers, who rank 16th in defensive efficiency, would absolutely love a stout defender like Wiggins on the wings \u2014 to cover for the weaknesses of Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic and a 40-year-old LeBron James.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Lakers may struggle to match the Heat\u2019s asking price as they own only one tradeable first-round pick and several expiring contracts \u2014 Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber and Jaxson Hayes \u2014 to offer in potential deals. Going by Siegel\u2019s report, the Heat may not be blown away by what the Lakers can offer for Wiggins.<\/p>\n<p>Wiggins has fit in nicely with Miami since arriving from Golden State as part of the Jimmy Butler III trade. He leads the Heat in minutes and has been a vital cog in Erik Spoelstra\u2019s new-look, faster offense, helping the team start the season 13-7.<\/p>\n<p>Sai Mohan covers the NBA for Heavy.com.
