Is this the Wiggins to LA trade incoming?

Wiggins for Kleber, Vincent, Knecht and a future FRP.

MIAMI:

PG - Vincent / Mitchell / Jakucionois / Rozier (benched)
SG - Herro / Powell / Knecht
SF - Jaquez / Larsson / Highsmith
PF - Adebayo / Jovic / Johnson
C - Ware / Kleber / Goldin (2-way)

Vincent and Kleber both $11m expirings.

Need a 3rd team to eat salary for the both of us.

Don’t think Wiggins to the Lakers is going to happen. We might be dug into competing this year or at least seeing how the team responds to the Powell addition. The East is weak so i can see us adding to the core rather than subtracting Wiggins right now unless it involves bringing in an upgrade.

The Heat's social media just posted a video of him working out at the practice facility, he's clearly not going anywhere anytime soon. However, he could still be a valuable trade asset at the deadline. If the Heat is below .500 by then, and he's still averaging 19 points per game, there’s a good chance some teams might overpay for that production.

Yeah don’t think we are in any rush to give him away. He actually fits really well with the addition of Powell. Wiggins is still way better than any of the SF’s we have behind him right now on the depth chart. We should be looking to move Jaime or Highsmith.

I get the feeling if JJJ does not see much time in preseason games, his agent will ask the Heat for a trade

What about our prize catch from the Duncan trade? Did we move Fontecchio while I wasn't paying attention?

That would take a lot of nerve from a #18 selection. But I have no issue with moving him. He's just another low ceiling guy.

8 players on the Clips 32 or older. Many of those are the major contributors. Will be interesting.

I really wish we got him somehow even doing an over pay. He could have helped mentor Herro and Donovan to become better passers. Shai has said how much Paul helped get better and understand the nuances of being a PG.
