Big news! Lakers Heat plotted Wiggins to trade, Hachimura Ai + first round pick became chips

In the NBA journey last season, the Los Angeles Lakers originally had a quite optimistic inside layout. Anthony Davis, a strong inside player, was undoubtedly a solid barrier for the team in the penalty area. However, a critical deal changed all of this. When the Lakers attracted Luca Doncic to the team's lineup through a series of operations, it seemed that the offensive firepower had been significantly improved, but it was unexpected that this move caused the team's originally relatively stable interior strength to decline significantly.

Time flows to the critical stage of the playoffs, and the problems of the Lakers' inside are completely exposed. Inside players such as Hayes, Kroko and Vanderbilt have fared to meet the pre-set standards of the team's management and coaching staff in high-intensity playoff confrontations. They are not proactive enough in rebounding, and it is difficult for them to effectively limit the offense of opponents' inside players on the defensive end, and they lack sufficient stability and lethality when attacking. In desperation, Lakers head coach Redick could only frequently use small lineups to deal with the game. Although the small lineup has certain advantages in speed and flexibility, it is obviously unable to do so when facing the opponent's powerful inside impact. The final result is regrettable. In the series against the Timberwolves, the Lakers were eliminated by their opponents in an unexpected "upset" way due to the huge gap in the inside. This loss was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Lakers, and also made the team deeply realize the seriousness of the inside problem.

However, the Lakers have two superstars, LeBron - James and Luca - Doncic, and they will naturally not be willing to play a mediocre role in the league. Moreover, the team has recently welcomed a remarkable new boss. This boss is not only rich in financial resources, but also full of enthusiasm for the sports industry and has high expectations and grand plans for the future development of the Lakers. Against this background, Lakers General Manager Pelinka feels a great responsibility and will inevitably quickly start to strengthen the team's lineup in all aspects. He knew clearly that only by building a team with balanced strength and both offense and defense can the Lakers show stronger competitiveness in a fiercely competitive field and return to the ranks of championships.

According to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, the Miami Heat are still actively operating in the trading market, aiming to build a stronger lineup for Adebayo and Hero. Currently, they have put Wiggins on the trading list. This No. 1 pick in 2014 has now officially become an important bargaining chip used by the Heat to upgrade their lineup and has entered the trading market's vision. In fact, the Lakers and the Heat have had contact and discussions on the Wiggins trade, and Hachimura may become the main bargaining chip.

Wiggins has excellent physical fitness and comprehensive technical capabilities. He is like a ghost on the court, famous for his unique "health basketball" style. But this does not mean that his strength is lacking. On the contrary, his athletic talent and scoring ability have always been the top level in the league. There is no doubt that Wiggins' arrival can improve the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Purple and Gold Legion.

After being traded by the Warriors to the Heat, Wiggins played 17 regular season games, averaging 32.1 minutes per game to score 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks; against the Cavaliers in the playoffs, Wiggins made 4 appearances, averaging 30.5 minutes per game to score 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game.
