Wiggins is currently earning $28.22 million this season, and brings a championship pedigree from his Golden State Warriors days, making him an intriguing target for the Lakers’ revamped roster following the blockbuster Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis swap earlier this year. The Lakers are likely exploring a package that could include players like Rui Hachimura to match salaries, a strategy consistent with the league’s recent trend of leveraging draft capital and player assets, as noted in a recent HoopsHype report on June 16, 2025. This move underscores the Lakers’ aggressive offseason approach, aiming to bolster their lineup with a versatile wing player as the NBA offseason heats up with exciting player movement.
