A good wing athlete with some handles and shooting on offense, Wiggins is a career 38% shooter from deep as a role playing \u20183-and-D\u2019 type for the Thunder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Before the 2024-25 NBA season, Wiggins signed a five-year, $45 million extension that declines over the contract and has a team option in 2028-29. Effectively, the Hawks will owe him slightly over $17 million over the next two guaranteed seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wiggins thus far has topped out at 24.2 minutes per game way back in his rookie season but hasn\u2019t been able to consistently crack a larger role with how deep and talented OKC\u2019s rosters have been the past few years. It\u2019s possible Atlanta gives him a chance to prove he can handle a bigger role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now, the reached into their bag of second round picks to grab a flier in the form of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719186,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[49361,829,99],"class_list":["post-719185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-atlanta-hawks-trade-rumors","tag-latest-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
