Andrew Wiggins just signed a jaw-dropping three-year, $64M deal with the Miami Heat — but here’s the twist: his second year pays less than half of his first. The Heat are betting big on him becoming their third star in 2026-27, when he’ll earn over $30M, before dialing back to a role player in 2027-28 for just $16M. This contract is tied to their plan to land Giannis and another superstar — and they’re counting on Wiggins to elevate his scoring while staying elite on defense. With his efficiency at career highs and sharpshooting, the Heat want him to create space for their bigs. The real question? Will he accept a reduced role again next season — even if he thrives as a high-volume scorer?
