So what you're saying is that he follows basic human nature

Isn't that funny how people hold athletes to higher standards than they hold themselves?

If you're talking about a top 10 player, you take the sure thing/top 10 guy unless the rookie is a Lebron-like can't miss, once in a decade type "guarantee". Wiggins is definitely not that.

And I disagree with getting the best current player at all costs.

It's not about whether or not Kevin Love is a top 10 guy. It's not about whether he makes them a better team because he obviously does. It's about whether you even need to add a top 10 guy when his production will undoubtedly take a hit playing next to Lebron. It's about what you're actually gaining. I don't think the net gain was worth it if it doesn't result in a championship this year. And they aren't winning a championship this year. But that's just my opinion.

I think you make a move like that if it's going to pay off immediately. If not, keep Wiggins and build for the near future instead of the present. Cavs are just not good enough of a team for the Love move to pay off the way they wanted it to.

Plus there's the possibility that Love turns out to be a very expensive rental. Then what do they have to show for all of this?
