The Phoenix Suns may be approaching a massive turning point in their roster direction. While the spotlight remains on Kevin Durant’s future, a surprising name has entered the trade conversation—Andrew Wiggins.
According to league insiders, the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and Minnesota Timberwolves are all involved in talks for the Suns superstar. But in a potential Durant-to-Miami scenario, Wiggins could be rerouted to Phoenix—an outcome some believe might be a blessing in disguise for the 30-year-old former No. 1 pick.
A move to Phoenix could rejuvenate Wiggins’ career. With championship pedigree from Golden State and the ability to defend multiple positions, he fits seamlessly next to Devin Booker. An NBA source emphasized the appeal, calling Wiggins “a perfect fit” if the franchise wants to retool around Booker, not rebuild. With a Suns’ source adding, “There is no clear leader. The Texas teams are out unless they put real pieces on the table.”
Wiggins once received glowing praise from the late Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, who believed the forward had a “chance to be special.” While Wiggins hasn’t lived up to the Kobe comparisons, he has matured into a high-level role player with playoff experience and defensive grit.
As trade talks heat up, the Heat’s offer reportedly includes Wiggins, Duncan Robinson, and multiple first-round picks—though Miami is reluctant to part with young prospects like Kel’el Ware or Jaime Jaquez Jr. Meanwhile, internal friction in Phoenix has reportedly eased since the departure of the executive who previously pushed to move Durant.
If Wiggins lands in the Valley, his redemption arc could finally reach its peak.
