Fight! The Lakers seek to trade with Wiggins to win the championship, and the two major forwards may leave the team as bargaining chips

Basketball

The trading market that has been silent for a while has once again revealed that the Los Angeles Lakers are interested in trading Miami Heat's starting striker Andrew Wiggins. This former No. 1 pick was just used as a bargaining chip for trading Butler in the middle of last season. Wiggins averaged 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block per game in Miami. Playing under Iron Blood Coach Spo, Wiggins' performance on the defensive end has improved significantly, and it is not difficult to "snatch".

Wiggins won a championship ring with the team during his time as the Warriors. In the playoffs that year, Wiggins performed very well on both offense and defense, and became a player in the main defense of James on the defensive end.

However, his performance of working but not working hard also makes many teams helpless. He has strong physical talent, but he always keeps scoring about 18 points per game. He clearly has the strength of an All-Star, and at the age of 30, he has made himself a role player.

But Wiggins' style of playing is also suitable for the current Lakers. The team has two super giants, James and Doncic, and they both have big cores in the ball. What you need most is top 3D like Wiggins who does not take advantage of the ball. When the team needs it, he can still rely on his personal ability to solve problems, and he is a perfect team leader.

In this offseason, the Lakers introduced another former No. 1 pick, Ayton, to strengthen the weak inside line and lose the 3D forward Finney Smith. Wiggins' strength and offensive stability on the defensive end must be stronger. If the team uses the starting lineup of Doncic + Rivers + James + Wiggins + Ayton, the offense and defense will become more balanced.

Wiggins currently has an annual salary of only $28.23 million. It is very likely that his main chips will be Hachimura Leaf + Vanderbilt to match the salary, and add a second-round draft pick. Let's wait and see if the Lakers can stand out with the teams in the Western Conference that are aiming to compete for the championship this summer.
