Andrew Wiggins was traded away by Golden State in the Jimmy Butler trade a few months ago, yet might find himself back on the West Coast this offseason.
The Lakers added Deandre Ayton to their roster yesterday, and could look to add a player like Wiggins next.
If they want to trade for Wiggins, it's going to cost them a pretty penny.

What is the Heat's asking price in an Andrew Wiggins trade?
NBA insider Jovan Buha revealed that the Heat are seeking Dalton Knecht, Rui Hachimura and a first-round pick in a trade for Wiggins.
Wiggins was a key player in the large haul Miami received for Butler.
Miami has a lot of movable players and assets, including Wiggins, that can be dealt this offseason.
He's set to make around $28 million next season and has a player option worth around $30 million for the 2026-27 season.

The Lakers could value having a two-way player like Wiggins, but the Heat are asking for a couple of the Lakers' key pieces in return.
If it wasn't for the Mark Williams trade being vetoed after a failed physical, Knecht would have already been traded away by Los Angeles, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see them part ways with Knecht.
The Lakers lost Dorian Finney-Smith in free agency, so Wiggins would be his replacement and even an upgrade.
