Door is quickly shutting on Lakers' pursuit of top trade target

The offseason rumor mill once flooded with talk of Andrew Wiggins and the Los Angeles Lakers being a match made in heaven. Rob Pelinka's pursuit of a two-way upgrade on the wings may be forced to take an alternative path by the time the NBA trade deadline comes around.

It is still very early in the NBA season, but the Miami Heat do not look the part of the complete afterthought some would have thought them to be heading into 2025-26. Erik Spoelstra has his squad performing rather well out of the gates, and if the trend continues, anticipating them as sellers is a tough idea to get behind.
