Lakers/Heat- No Wiggins
Posted: Mon Jul 7, 2025 10:12 pm
This is a simple trade that could benefit both teams.
Lakers get Haywood Highsmith and 2027 2nd rd pick.
Heat get Dalton Knecht
Why? Lakers get a quality 3 and D player. He could help replace a lot of the lost in DFS. He has shot close to 40% on 3’s and would fit perfectly with Luka and LeBron. It also allows them to acquire a relatively low cost option that does not involve spending their 2031 FRP. Lakers also get the 2027 OKC 2nd rd pick in this deal as well.
Heat take a flier on Knecht and add additional shooting to a team that still needs more even after the addition of Norman Powell. Might seem like a sell low on Knecht but recent reports place a value closer to a 2nd rd pick. Knecht fits the Heat going younger timeline.
