Stein: If the Heat plan to cut total salary in the future, the Lakers may be interested in Wiggins

According to famous reporter Stein, the Lakers may be interested in Wiggins if the Heat plans to clear cap space in the future.

Stein said: "Wigkins, 30, will be $28.2 million in the new season, $30.2 million in the 2026-27 season, with player options. I won't see Wiggins as the Lakers' target until Doncic's future, but things have changed now."

"So my feeling is that if the Heat prioritizes the flexibility of the cap space in the coming weeks or months and seeks to cut total salary, the Lakers may be interested in Wiggins."
