Why? LeBron is 40 years old, disgruntled, on an expiring deal, and has a no trade clause.

Wiggins is a perfect fit next to Doncic. He is on a reasonable contract that expires when the Lakers front office want it to. Rozier is a salary dump to create future cap space, and the Lakers will get a first round pick in a deep 2026 draft.

Who says Lebron is disgruntled and who says he wants to play in Miami? 

As for the trade, you said pick swap.  If Lebron goes to Miami in the weak East, Miami is very likely to finish better than the Lakers and therefore the pick swap would not occur.
