NBA Trade Rumors: LA Lakers consider $109,000,002 former No. 1 pick more “desirable” after Luka Doncic decision 




The LA Lakers could circle back on prominent trade target Andrew Wiggins, who they moved on from before Luka Doncic signed a three-year $165 million extension on Aug. 2. Doncic’s long-term commitment to LA has changed things for Rob Pelinka’s front office.

According to The Athletic’s Dan Woike, the Lakers are open to trading for players whose contracts go beyond the 2025-26 season. The Lakers earlier targeted players with expiring contracts, hoping to have significant cap space over the next two summers amid ambitions to attract marquee free agents.

Wiggins’ $109,000,002 contract runs through the 2026-27 season, in which he has a $30,169,644 player option. The Lakers are open to taking on such a deal after Doncic’s impressive showing at the 2025 EuroBasket, averaging a tournament-high 34.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.7 steals, shooting 45.8%.
