After filling their void at center with former No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton, the next order of 2025 NBA offseason business for the Los Angeles Lakers should be beefing up their perimeter defense.

The Lakers are interested in Andrew Wiggins, but Miami’s asking price of Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, and a first-round pick could stall trade talks.

According to Lakers insider Jovan Buha, the Miami Heat, who currently hold Wiggins’ contract after a separate deal with the Warriors, have set a steep asking price. The Heat are reportedly demanding Dalton Knecht, Rui Hachimura, and a future first-round pick in exchange for the 30-year-old Canadian forward.
