Andrew Wiggins has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers for a couple of months now.
The trade that has been mentioned most, and is the simplest, is Rui Hachimura and Dalton Knecht for the former number one overall pick.
However, Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale had a much more complicated idea that accomplishes the same thing.
Wiggins to Los Angeles, except there are six other teams involved, which would make this a trade involving the most teams ever, one-upping the Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets trade that happened not too long ago.
Besides the Lakers and Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, and Utah Jazz all participate in this theoretical trade.
Of course, we can’t highlight every player and pick that move, so let’s talk about the major ones.

Obviously, Wiggins lands in Los Angeles. Other than that, the Celtics lose on Anfernee Simons mainly for some second-round picks.
The Bucks would get Collin Sexton but lose Kyle Kuzma to the Nets.
Finally, the Hornets would get Simons and Robert Williams.
An eight-team trade that sends players and picks all across the association with only one goal in mind, which is to get Wiggins to Los Angeles.
Getting eight different General Managers on board would be crazy, but not impossible.
If it were to happen, Wiggins would help the Lakers out tremendously, giving them a guy who was once compared to LeBron James and has a ring under his belt.
