With the NBA trade deadline less than two months away, some early rumors are heating up. According to a report from HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the Miami Heat have been looking around at what Andrew Wiggins might be able to fetch on the trade market.
Scotto writes: Miami has gauged the trade market on small forward Andrew Wiggins, who has a $30.17 million player option for the 2026-27 season.
This rumor makes sense when you consider it within the context of how the Heat's season has unfolded so far. Wiggins' skill set has made an impact on both ends, especially in transition and in spacing lineups alongside Miami's more traditional half-court creators, but he’s also coming with a big contract and a player option for 2026–27.
