Heat’s next trade move is painfully obvious after eye-catching rumor

The Miami Heat haven't even made it to training camp, but they're already making noise on the NBA's trade rumor mill.

Or they're attached to some recent rumblings, at least. Per NBA insider Marc Stein, Heat swingman Andrew Wiggins has caught the attention of the Los Angeles Lakers, who "would have interest if the Heat, in coming weeks or months, decide to prioritize financial flexibility and look to reduce payroll."

This specific rumor lacks substance on the surface—the Heat have zero incentive to salary dump Wiggins—but it does hold one undeniable truth. If Miami hits the trade market at any point in the near future, Wiggins will almost certainly be involved in the deal.
