Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
Overview: Andrew Wiggins trade discussions have cooled in 2025 after several near-misses involving the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, with Miami reportedly holding firm on its higher asking price and Lakers reportedly non-committal at times. The two teams reportedly paused talks at various points in mid- to late-2025 as financials and draft assets were negotiated, and rumors surfaced about potential re-openings later in the season or at the 2026 trade deadline.[4][5][7]
Key recent developments:
Where things stand (as of May 2026): There isn’t a confirmed, agreed-upon trade involving Wiggins, with teams like the Heat and Lakers (and occasional chatter about other contending teams) having explored options but not executing a deal. Wiggins remains under contract with Miami, with résumés of prior talks largely described as exploratory and contingent on larger asset exchanges than currently available.[6][5][7]

Please tell me which format you prefer (short timeline, bullet recap, or a simple table), and which teams you want tracked.
