Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins has heard his name thrown around in some trade rumors this offseason, and while there are no guarantees he will be moved, it sounds like there’s a new team to monitor for him.
According to a report from Greg Sylvander of Five Reasons Sports, the Los Angeles Clippers could be potential suitors for the 30-year-old.
“Watch the Los Angeles Clippers as a potential suitor for Andrew Wiggins,” Sylvander wrote via Discord.
Wiggins just came over to the Heat in a trade during the 2024-25 season, and while he’s certainly capable of helping them in the 2025-26 campaign, it may be in Miami’s best interest to use him as a trade chip.
He is under club control for one more season and then has a player option for the 2026-27 campaign at roughly $30 million. Given his age, he may not be an ideal fit for the Heat’s timeline.
Wiggins was solid in the regular season after being traded to Miami, as he averaged 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. The playoffs were a different story, as he was held to just 11.5 points per game on inefficient shooting, but the sample size was small since the Heat were quickly eliminated.
The Clippers are coming off a season in which they won 50 games before being eliminated in a thrilling first-round series. They were able to push the Denver Nuggets to seven games before bowing out. If L.A. can take another step forward in the upcoming season, the Western Conference may need to look out for the squad.
Wiggins would help, depending on what the Clippers would need to give up to acquire him. The asking price might be high, based on a report about what the Heat have asked of the Los Angeles Lakers in a potential Wiggins deal.
“They’ve been asking for the 1st and Dalton [Knecht]…for [Andrew] Wiggins, and I think they also want Rui [Hachimura] too.”

Wiggins won a championship during his Golden State Warriors tenure, so he knows what it takes to get the job done in the postseason. That’s certainly something the Heat should keep in mind as well, but right now, it feels like Miami is far away from being in a position where it can think about making a deep playoff run.
