The contract has 3 years left for 102 million! The former Lakers favorite, will they be bought out in the new season?
11:42am, 6 October 2025【Basketball】
After nearly three months, the Lakers and Heat have started negotiations again for Wiggins.

This time, can the Purple Gold Legion get what it wants?
In my opinion, it is unlikely. After all, Riley is "accurate" to the Lakers - with both offense and defense and certain ability to hold the investment, Wiggins is almost one of the few candidates for Pelinka to trade chips at this stage. Therefore, the Heat insisted on asking for the first round.
I think it is not impossible to give in the first round but to add "protection". After all, Wiggins is not Wiggins in the 22-year Warriors championship season - on the defensive end alone, due to the impact of injuries in the past two seasons, the real positive and negative values of defense are -1.2 and -0.3 respectively - Bitrae Young's defense is good but its deterrent power is also very limited.

Speaking of "Wigkins-style" players, the Lakers used to be very popular with Jeremy Grant, but they failed to do so due to their inability to give their core status and large contracts. However, as time goes by, his competitive form has declined sharply and even in my opinion, the Trail Blazers will be bought out in the new season.

Team Attitude
According to the NBA China official website, there is no progress in the Trail Blazers trading Grant, who is expected to play as a substitute in the new season.

Through this news, we can draw two points:
1. Grant has no trading market;
2. Play as a substitute in the new season.
For the second point, Reeves averaged 6.9 shots and 11.9 points per game when he was substituted in 22-23, and averaged 9.2 shots and 15.1 points per game when he started. In contrast, when Grant plays as a substitute, this opportunity also drops significantly, and the potential data will also drop. The decline in the data of

will further reduce the transaction value, and it will obviously be more difficult to trade. The team's attitude has brought about a drop in the substitute data, which is one of them.
Contract
23, Grant and the Trail Blazers signed a five-year, 160 million contract renewal contract, and now there are 3 years, 102 million left in the contract. The average salary of 33 million is not shown in the figure below, the last year is the player option. Considering Grant's current state and performance, it will basically be executed, then this is a three-year fully guaranteed contract. The contract is too big, this is the second one.

The team's future plans
Given that Kamala is 25 years old and Avdia is 24 years old, it can be said that the Trail Blazers will not worry about the forward line in the next three years. From this perspective, Grant, who is already 31 years old, is obviously not in the team's future plans. In fact, as mentioned earlier, the Trail Blazers have long started selling the former but have not been able to do it.
Speaking of this, let me say something more.
Due to the decline in form, the Trail Blazers lost 6.3 points in 100 rounds when Grant was on the court in the 24-25th quarter, and the team lost 4.9 points in 100 rounds when they were not on the court. Although they were all losing, it was obvious that Grant lost less when he was not there. From the side, he has little help to the team in winning. Not in the team's plan, this is the third one.

In summary, the reason why the Trail Blazers will buy out Grant in the new season is mainly reflected in three points:
1. The team's attitude is clear;
2. The contract is too large;
3. It is not in the team's future plans.
Relatively speaking, I think the first and third points are the main reasons.
In addition, it was reported that Pelinka had the opportunity to trade Vanderbilt this summer, but eventually gave up. From the side, the Lakers still have expectations for "Van Debiao"'s defense in the new season. It is reflected in Grant. Even if the contract is large but it shows help to the team in winning, the management is still willing to give it a chance.

At this time, the rapid growth of young players played a very good role in promoting them. Therefore, Grant is likely to be bought out by the Trail Blazers in the new season.
