Not sure if Houston will match...

Have we discussed how much of a douchebag Bosh is? Houston prepared to give him $88 million or something, and he needs to wait and see what his buddy does first.

Yeah, if I'm Bosh, take that money and run. You aren't getting that from the Heat, and probably not gonna win another Championship in Miami, with or without LeBron, as long as Wade is there making big money.

If I needed one piece to complete a championship caliber team right now, Kevin Love...in all other cases, Wiggins.

I should have clarified...not for just one season. The argument I am in is based on whether Cleveland should trade wiggins for love, so we are talking about the next 5+ years.

So I guess I know your answer.

Yup, Wiggins, hands down.

Wiggins for sure. He was being hyped up as the next LeBron before he played at Kansas. Lived up to the hype enough to be the #1 overall pick. Needs to mature, but I think he can be a star.

I'd rather keep Wiggins but I wouldn't be mad if we traded him for Love. If Lebron is a Cav that is.

I disagree in that the "douchebag" is the one holding up this process by not making his "decision." His teammates are just waiting to see what he (Lebron) does.

I think I'd take Love over Wiggins the next 5....Wiggins has the huge ceiling but Love is at the point in his career he should be wanting that championship so badly. You know what Love is going to bring....Wiggins is not completely predictable how good he's going to be. I think LeBron can win with either but IMO Love is the safer bet.

Love should focus on getting to the playoffs before becoming championship hungry.

And how is LBJ joining up with Kyrie any different? Kyrie's been a loser too. He's never won anything.

It's funny how people have suddenly gone from "just one before I die" to "we can't get rid of Wiggins because he's a long term stud." People are starting to get a little greedy with this. I think C-Town fans would be happy to get the first ring. Love likely gives them a better chance in the short term than Wiggins.

Lebron is 29, and isn't getting any younger with his mileage. My line of thinking is if he can't get the Cavs a title, I want the next potential star in line to get us there. I think Wiggins is that guy.

When I was arguing the point, I actually compared love and kyrie in the sense neither have even made the playoffs and that I would take wiggins over both of them. Why? Superstars, not all stars, win in the NBA. Wiggins has the potential to be one, kyrie and Love are simply really good side kicks.

I am interested to see how either player would handle the playoffs too.

Hopefully they wouldn't perform like Mo Williams.

I only saw a tiny bit of Wiggins in college. Is he really THAT good? Kevin Love is a top 10 NBA player, its just hard for me to believe Wiggins will be better year 1.

Wiggins will probably be a top 10 athlete in the nba from the second he steps on the court opening night. He is so freakishly athletic it is sickening. And he has the jump shot to go with it. He is 100% made for the NBA.

I have to agree with this. Wiggins is the real deal and will make an immediate impact. The only player I'd trade Wiggins for is KD and that's not happening.

Kevin love isn't top 10 player IMO.
