Andrew Wiggins will be traded to the Phoenix Suns

According to US media TWSN Marisa Myers, as the Phoenix Suns reached a buyout agreement with Bradley Bill and traded Kevin Durant earlier in the offseason, they still need to further improve the team's strength through other trades in the offseason. It is reported that the Suns are negotiating with the Miami Heat to come to Andrew Wiggins with a deal.

When the Suns sought to trade Kevin Durant to the Heat, they wanted to get Andrew Wiggins, but the deal was not reached. Despite this, the Suns still want to do whatever they can to trade to get Wiggins.

For the Suns, they need to introduce more capable players, especially veterans with NBA experience and can help the team improve their culture. Andrew Wiggins is such a candidate. He has 11 years of experience in the NBA, of which 6 years have played for a champion team like the Golden State Warriors, and is well versed in the culture of winning the championship.

Wiggins averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game in his career, which is exactly the 3D player the Suns need. For the Heat, 30-year-old Wiggins does not match the team's future plans, so trading him to the Suns is ideal.

In addition, according to US media, the Suns obtained Wiggins from the Heat through a trade this summer with an odds of +375, ranking third.
