His combination of two-way prowess and four-year, $109 million contract make him the perfect piece of any return.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ibfyfb3kc\">ClutchPoints predicts the Heat will cut ties with Wiggins in a blockbuster trade for Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland. The full proposed trade details are as follows:<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_uxde7ueya\"><strong>Heat receive:<\/strong> Garland<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wa78rpd2y\"><strong>Cavaliers receive:<\/strong> Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, Pelle Larsson, No. 20 pick in 2025 NBA Draft, and 2029 first-round pick (top-10 protected)<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5kc398vi7\">&#8220;Darius Garland would offer the Heat an elite shot creator to complement Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, while Cleveland would receive veteran depth and future assets,&#8221; the article shared.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_6xjxyxew6\">The reality is a Big Three of Garland, Herro, and Adebayo still wouldn&#8217;t hold substantial chances of coming out of the Eastern Conference. The Celtics, New York Knicks, and Indiana Pacers have much more well-rounded rosters than the Heat would in this scenario.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_djz16db59\">However, Heat team president Pat Riley seems set on avoiding another year with the same or similar roster. Acquiring Garland and cutting ties with Wiggins would accomplish that, but pursuing a deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant is the better approach at the start of the offseason.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ygovhc1bj\">Then, if Miami&#8217;s front office strikes out there, calling the Cavaliers is a solid backup plan.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_392jkqlb2\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins only appeared in 17 games with the Miami Heat in 2025 but could already see a change of scenery.
