Aaron Wiggins Rumors

Draymond Green: "How about this guy need to go back and get in the lab and get better and go work on his game because this guy just exposed all your weaknesses and showed everything that you need to get better at. What about the criticism of he need to get back in the lab this summer and be motivated and get better? Why is it we need to trade him? Like these takes they they just seem to get a little lazy at times to me, like trade him, why is all of a sudden everything always about the trade? Up, trade this guy, trade that guy, trade like, what? I just don't understand it. So, no, I don't expect Chet Holmgren to be traded. They will have to make some moves because I also don't foresee OKC paying $250 million in salary and taxes next year and going into the second apron. I don't see that either. So they will have to make some decisions, maybe Lu Dort, maybe Hartenstein, maybe trade Joe, maybe trade Wiggins. Like they're going to have to make some tough decisions for sure. Maybe they trade them picks because if they if they sign their 12th and 17th pick and they keep those and draft those players, it's going to cost them in the first year those salaries $80 million over the course of those two players. So maybe they do some of that stuff, but the whole trade Chet Holmgren is blasphemous, what he did this year."

The most likely candidates to be moved in a trade to rebalance the roster are Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins, who have proved to be quality role players but fell out of the rotation during these playoffs. Joe is due $11.3 million next season and has a team option at the same salary for 2027-28. Wiggins is due $9.2 million next season and $8.3 million in 2027-28 with an $8.3 million team option in 2028-29.

Clemente Almanza: Mark Daigneault on Aaron Wiggins handling his limited role in these playoffs: “Like a total pro, just like everybody else. I think all these guys' willingness to accept their role at any given point in time, which is not permanent, it changes constantly. But their willingness to accept it and stay inside the team and continue to put the wind at their teammates' backs has applied pressure to everybody to continue to do that.”

The Sixers, the source said, offered the Chicago Bulls multiple second-round picks for reserve big man Jalen Smith; Chicago held onto him. Their primary target, PhillyVoice learned, was Aaron Wiggins, one of Oklahoma City's many trusted reserves. There was hope that the talks with the Thunder about McCain could lead to a deal also involving Wiggins – the Sixers would have needed to send out multiple other players in the process – but ultimately the deal ended up centering around McCain, with Wiggins staying put in Oklahoma City, where he has recently fallen out of the rotation thanks in part to McCain's arrival.

Justin Martinez: Aaron Wiggins on OKC not getting discouraged by its recent narrow losses: “The first aspect is just realizing you can’t get caught up in the moment or a small sample size of games that might not have gone your way. We’re talking about two losses in a row, but we’re 37-10. … There’s a lot of time that we have to get better. There’s a lot of opportunity for us to continue to grow and learn from our losses and our wins.”
