With the 2025 NBA Draft just days away, the Miami Heat appear to be making moves—again. After parting ways with Jimmy Butler last season and suffering a disappointing playoff sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami’s front office is reportedly exploring trade options that could reshape their roster. Now, all eyes are on Andrew Wiggins , who may not be in South Beach much longer as the team weighs its future around rising stars Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.
Andrew Wiggins lands on trade block as Miami Heat prepare to shake up roster ahead 2025 NBA Draft
The post-Butler era in Miami was meant to signal a new direction. When the Miami Heat dealt Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors last season, they acquired Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and the No. 20 overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft. But despite high hopes, Wiggins’ stint in Miami hasn’t exactly gone as planned.
Limited to just 17 games due to injuries, Wiggins still managed to put up respectable numbers, averaging 19.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. Yet, it appears his time with the franchise could be short-lived.
According to NBA insider Brett Siegel, the Heat are actively shopping the 29-year-old forward ahead of the draft. “Teams are wondering what is next with the Miami Heat after striking out on a Durant trade,” Siegel wrote in an article. “Miami continues to make Andrew Wiggins available in trade talks and would be willing to part with the 20th pick in the NBA Draft for an upgrade alongside Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.”
The trade chatter comes as the Heat look to reposition themselves in the Eastern Conference. After missing out on a chance to acquire Kevin Durant, Miami’s front office—led by head coach Erik Spoelstra and general manager Andy Elisburg—may see more value in flipping their draft pick and Wiggins for a more durable or system-fitting piece.
Wiggins is currently in the third year of a four-year, $109 million contract he originally signed with Golden State in 2022. He holds a player option for the 2026–27 season, giving any potential trade partner two full seasons of control before free agency becomes a factor.

With the draft looming this Wednesday, Miami could be one of the more active teams looking to shake up its roster. Whether Andrew Wiggins remains part of that picture will likely be answered soon. But one thing’s clear—Miami is planning for the future, and it may not include the former All-Star forward.
