Talks of adding a two-way swingman to raise the ceiling of the team dominated the rumor mill for the Los Angeles Lakers during the latter stages of the offseason. The need is still there. The player who was originally suggested might be too.
Marc Stein put forward the intel in early September that suggested the Lakers wanted that specific roster improvement. The NBA insider then mentioned Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins. Dan Woike added more fuel to the fire shortly after. Fast-forward to December, and Jake Fischer is confirming the potential availability of Wiggins.
