As long as we don't overpay, I'd do it in a second. Trade Dalton, Gabe, Kleber, and the pick swaps for Wiggins. A major upgrade over DFS. I'd then put Smart in the starting lineup for defensive purposes. Have Reaves be the 6MOY for scoring and someone to take over when Luka is on the bench. He'd still play 38 minutes and at the end of the 4th. We'd go from the worst bench to the best bench.

Do the Knecht maxi gabe package , have to keep Rui
No! Wiggins is not worth giving up Rui or even giving up 4 players for him. I think we need to go away from this Wiggins idea. Let’s go to work with our current team and look to make a trade mid season.
I think we need to stop this type of thinking and instead just get the best possible talent at all cost
5:48 nice transition
Wiggins isn't worth it anymore. Maybe 3 years ago. Of course trading lebron for him would make them a little better but knecht is a star in the making if they use him more. Yall act like he can't shoot he was amazing as a rookie. And he outplayed Cooper flagg in summer league. Everyone has bad games as a shooter. Look at curry he can miss 20 in a row but u know he'll get hot
Create contrast bubbles like we did in early education. That'll give progressive insight. Just saying.
Wiggins would be nice
This is a wishlist of what if's. But financially realistically I doubt it.
NOT WORTH IT. Get a young and athletic 3 and D wing
Can't be any worse, Hachi is so damn inconsistent
Do it!
Lakers blessed guys
Yes anybody in the package but Rui Bron and Luka
Hell NO!!!!
Anyone thinking Rui is better than Wiggins didn’t watch the Warriors beating the Celtics in the finals. He’s a career 18.5 pts per game scorer Almost 6 pts more than Rui, He’s a better wing/ball defender, he has championship experience and is only 30 years old. Stop waiting to see development from a 27 year old player lol. Luka & Bron want to win NOW!
Like putting new tires on a Ford Pinto
Nope, not worth it
Trev, instead of Wiggins, could we go after Oubre + Drummond…what could that look like and does it hurt us apron-wise?
WTF WHY IS THIS EVEN A TOPIC????
How can not ppl see trading for wiggles is like giving away Rui for a weaker, washed up Rui…
Too many idiots and trevor listened still…sheesh
I say be patient. Someone will come up that will be what we need. It will happen.
I want them to build and develop a team instead of constantly trying the quick fix it's getting old
He is worth Rui and Dalton. I just can't stomach giving up a draft pick for him when Miami CLEARLY wants to let him go.
Rui shouldn’t even be traded, he was a player that didn’t give up in the playoffs, even when we were losing games.
No, not at all!!??
You’re so good at just rambling about something on and on and on for 15 mins saying absolutely nothing
I would rather go get vuicic from bulls as our backup
Wiggins is way better than AR. Keep Rui. AR does not fit with LeBron and Luka.
