Andrew Wiggins of the Miami Heat continues to draw strong trade interest.
The Miami Heat are once again linked to trade discussions involving Andrew Wiggins, as multiple NBA insiders report renewed dialogue with the Golden State Warriors centered on a potential reunion with the former All-Star wing.
According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, Miami and Golden State have engaged in conversations in recent days about what it would take to send Wiggins back to the Bay Area, as both teams reassess their rosters ahead of the trade deadline.
“There has been a lot of discussion over the last couple of days about the Warriors and Heat discussing what it would take to send Andrew Wiggins back to Golden State,” Siegel wrote on X. “The Warriors continue to remain active on the trade market.”
Heat, Warriors Discuss Trade Framework
Earlier Tuesday, NBA insider Jake Fischer said discussions between the two teams have gone beyond preliminary check-ins.
“There’s absolutely some type of framework that’s being discussed — and has been discussed — between Golden State and Miami to send Jonathan Kuminga to the Heat and bring Andrew Wiggins back to the Warriors,” Fischer said in Bleacher Report’s Insider Notebook.
NBA insider Marc Stein previously reported that Golden State will explore trade scenarios using Kuminga as the central piece in any deal that would bring Wiggins back to the Warriors.
“League sources tell The Stein Line that one avenue which will certainly be explored is the prospect of a Kuminga-for-Andrew Wiggins swap with Miami,” Stein reported Friday in The Stein Line.
Andrew Wiggins Continues Steady Production in Miami
Despite his uncertain future, Wiggins remains part of Miami’s rotation and continues to provide consistent two-way production.
He finished with 10 points on 5-of-12 shooting, 10 rebounds, and three assists in 23 minutes during Sunday’s 111–102 win over the Phoenix Suns, recording his first double-double of the season.
While Wiggins’ scoring output was modest and he did not make a 3-pointer in the game, his rebounding helped stabilize Miami’s frontcourt. Through 43 games, the 30-year-old has scored in double figures 39 times and reached 15 points or more on 25 occasions, offering steady offensive contribution without being a primary scoring option.
Heat Previously Targeted Jonathan Kuminga in Butler Trade

Miami’s interest in Kuminga is not new.
When the Heat sent Butler to Golden State last February, they pressed to include the 23-year-old forward in the deal. The Warriors declined, opting instead to send Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and a first-round pick.
Kuminga’s agent, Aaron Turner, confirmed Miami’s pursuit last spring during an appearance on NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dubs Talk podcast.
“The last memory Joe and Mike had of JK was him playing great,” Turner said, referring to Warriors owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr.
“So they weren’t going to just throw him in a deal — especially with Miami — when they knew Miami had to move Jimmy. And trust me, the Heat asked for Jonathan Kuminga.”
Trade Deadline Decisions Approach
Nearly a year after that deal, circumstances have shifted. Kuminga’s role in Golden State has fluctuated, while Miami continues to evaluate how best to balance present competitiveness with future flexibility.
Whether Wiggins remains a stabilizing presence in Miami or becomes part of a framework that finally delivers Kuminga to South Florida remains unresolved. What multiple insiders agree on is that discussions between the Heat and Warriors are ongoing and rooted in unfinished business from last February’s deal.
