WIGGINS SHOULD BE PRIORITY FOR LAKERS!We have long coveted a legitimate small forward who guards other legitimate small forwards and Andrew Wiggins is the perfect fit for the Lakers and Luka.Elite defender who can shoot the three and has championship experience.

Hard pass, too pricey for too little. Next season, when he’s basically an expiring contract, thus more valuable, is a whole other story. He and Rui put up very similar numbers and Rui costs about $10 mil less. Wiggins is better at the rim, probably a better on-ball defender. Rui can switch onto bigger guys better and is more efficient. Especially from three.
We also have DFS who it sounds like we will resign. He brings the same level of perimeter defense. wiggins hasn’t been the same since the last Warriors championship. I don’t know what happened to him but if you follow the Warriors at all, Wiggins took a lot of heat for the Warrior black slide the last couple of years. He fell off in almost every catigory, including his defense. Rui is our only true PF to give Lebron a rest. Both DFS and Vando our better at defending wings than power forwards and Centers.
