Since the beginning of the offseason, Los Angeles Lakers have shown interest in Andrew Wiggins. The Los Angeles franchise, having very little salary cap space, has barely been able to sign players in the 2025 NBA Free Agency and wanted to explore other avenues to strengthen their team.
The player from Miami Heat seemed ideal to solve, or at least minimize, the defensive issues of the Lakers' roster. However, the Florida team has already closed the door on the purple and gold.
At least, that's what is being reported by NBA Rumors in the Sun Sentinel. The Heat have reportedly decided to keep Wiggins and not engage in trade talks. They see him as an essential player for their present and future.
On the other hand, the Lakers will have to consider alternatives. So far, for the upcoming season, they have only signed DeAndre Ayton and Jake LaRavia.
