Stein added: "Source revealed that the Los Angeles Lakers are indeed willing to upgrade to the wing position and want to get a wing player who has both offense and defense and can increase the team's ceiling. If the Miami Heat decides to prioritize financial flexibility and seeks to cut salary expenditures in the next few weeks or months, the Lakers may be interested in Wiggins."
