Wiggins has more upside even being a kid

starting next year, better. but for these 2 years, probably worse with wiggins.

although love does seem to get worse for them everyday.

Defensively yes. Doesn't Wiggins use the elbow offensively a lot too? Any player that scores from the elbow is going to have issues playing with LeBron.

Wiggins is young, but the Timberwolves were expecting more development in his second year. But it's ludicrous for anyone to think that Wiggins would be better than Love for Cleveland this or next year

Wiggins would not be a good fit; he's an inefficient player, save for scoring, but he contributed minimally elsewhere. His assist and rebounding rate is terrible.

They have reduced love to a guy who stands on the perimeter and now and then gets an opportunity.....happened to Bosh in Miami

Well be hasn't been very good YET. His assist rate makes Carmelo look like an unselfish passer. This can change, but that doesn't negate that he wouldn't be a good fit with the Cavs.

I wonder if they dangled Wiggins and whatever lotto pick they had before, could they have gotten Thompson and Barnes

Wiggins can at least get his own shot.

The Cavs would be worse with Wiggins against 28 teams. GSW are the only team where Wiggins is probably more useful than Love.

At the time of the trade, the Warriors were a fringe playoff team. Nobody saw this leap then. It's unfair to judge the Cavs based on a reality that was inconceivable.
