If some Miami Heat fans had their way, Andrew Wiggins might be off the roster already. The Los Angeles Lakers appeared ready and willing to take him off their hands earlier this offseason.
The Heat kept him around for a reason, though. They probably know that he quietly holds the keys to whatever awaits them during the 2025-26 NBA season. And that's true regardless of whether they plan to move forward with him or not.
Wiggins will either be a high-minute starter or a sought-after trade target.
First impressions can be deceiving, and Heat fans would be wise to remember that lesson and apply it to Wiggins.
