3 for 1! The Lakers refuse Heat to blackmail! Goodbye, Wiggins

3:41am, 16 July 2025Basketball

TA reporter Dan Woike: The Lakers are no longer interested in Wiggins and believe that the Heat's offer is unrealistic.

It seems that the Heat are firmly asking the Lakers to provide Hachimura + Kneckett + a first-round pick so that the transaction negotiations will completely collapse.

If the Heat were willing to lower their offer, for example, as long as Knector + a first-round pick, Wiggins might have been nestled in James's gentle home long ago.

Second grade Kneckett performed poorly in the summer unit this year. He has played in a total of 5 games so far, averaging 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 33.3%, and his best three-point shooting percentage is only 25%. The Lakers are eager to sell him out quickly.

Back to the point, judging from the negotiation attitude between the Heat and the Lakers, they don't really want to trade Wiggins, otherwise the Lions would not have been talking all the time.

According to the Sun Sentinel, the Heat currently plans to take Wiggins into the training camp for the new season.

Heat coach Spoel praised Wiggins in an interview recently, believing that the latter is extremely dynamic in defense and has a unique skill package. As he gradually adapts to the team, there is still a lot of room for growth.

still has a lot of room for growth? Wiggins is 30 years old this year, and Spoel wouldn't really think that his career life can last up to 50 years. Manual dog head.

If there is no transaction, the Heat can rank the main lineup of Powell + Shero + Wiggins + Adebayo + Weil in the new season. In the weak East, it will still be a team that can compete for the playoff qualification, but it seems like a dream to say that it is a big deal to strive for the championship.

To be honest, Wiggins may still be suitable for playing in a strong team. In the 22 years of playoffs, he proved that he is an excellent championship puzzle with high enthusiasm. After being traded by the Warriors to the Heat this year, it can be seen that his playing in a team that is neither up nor down will only gradually lose his energy, and thus failing to perform best.

Last season, Wiggins played 17 regular season games for the Heat, averaging 18 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1 interruption, with shooting percentages of 44.8% and 37.4% in both events; in the playoffs, they averaged 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 hats, and shooting percentages of 37.2% and 35% in both events!
