Lakers rumor: Insiders speculate that the Lakers are chasing the Heat s Adebayo and Wiggins

Will Bam Adebayo and Andrew Wiggins become Lakers' trading targets?

Due to constant trade rumors surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers, fans may discuss several Miami Heat stars.

Because the Lakers hope to introduce another center in addition to Luka Doncic and LeBron James, one of the players Jowan Buha mentioned by The Athletic's team reporter was Bam Adebayo, and also mentioned Andrew Wiggins.

Buha said he was happy to see Adebayo join the Lakers because his defensive fit would bring a "significant improvement". Although the offensive end is not the typical example the team is looking for, he will be a very valuable addition.

However, Buha noted on his YouTube channel that the deal might not be reasonable for Miami, as they might get Austin Reeves, who has similarities with All-Star Tyler Herro.

"I think more importantly, for your question, I don't think the Lakers will provide any assets," Buha said. "If you're from Miami's perspective, as I mentioned in my recent email, why do they have Taylor Herro and trade Austin Reeves?"

"There are indeed some similarities and some differences between them, but overall, they are similar types of players, Austin is two years older than Taylor Herro and only one year younger than Bam Adebayo."

The Lakers may use Andrew Wiggins as a wing, as Reeves is mentioned as the Lakers' trading chip, Buha also mentioned that the team needs a wing player, and Wiggins is meeting that. He played for the Heat in the second half of last season after the Golden State Warriors traded him as part of the Jimmy Butler trade.

Although Buha mentioned Wiggins as a "reasonable" candidate, he did not have much specific information about Wiggins, but he proposed a possible trading plan.

"I think if the Lakers want to fill the tides in the trading market, Wiggins is a player I am very optimistic about, and if I get Rui's contract and corresponding salary space, I might achieve this goal."

"For me, for any deal, as long as the Lakers can add a rotation player and don't give up the top six players in the team, I would say that the starting point of the deal is Gabe, and I am willing to give up him for the sake of upgrading. So I haven't heard specific news about Wiggins, but he is the kind of goal that makes sense to them."

In any case, the Lakers seem to improve after ranking third in the Western Conference with a record of 50-32, but they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.
