In recent days, multiple reports have indicated that those talks have been resumed, which has coincided with a couple of reports that the Lakers are in win-now mode and are willing to take on future salary in order to acquire a two-way wing such as Wiggins.

But according to insider Brett Siegel, the Heat continue to ask for a future first-round draft pick, something L.A. isn’t willing to give up, and that overall, they would rather keep Wiggins for now.

“Since he was traded to the Miami Heat, Wiggins was involved in a lot of trade chatter this offseason,” wrote Siegel. “Those same rumors from July have once again surfaced before training camp and the preseason, specifically involving the Lakers’ longstanding interest in the 3-and-D wing.

“Right now, the Heat don’t hold much of a desire to trade Wiggins and are operating under the mindset of waiting to see how things play out during the first few months of the regular season, sources said,” wrote Siegel. “Miami has held a high asking price for the former first-overall pick, one that the Lakers haven’t been willing to meet.”
