I'd prefer not to waste the final 3 years or so of LBJ's prime waiting/hoping/wishing that Wiggins becomes something in this league. At this point, he's a net negative player. So put that on the Cavs, and we're doing worse. Not to mention TT would be our starting PF, providing next to nothing. Just like last night.
I get it, you guys like the Flash of Wiggins, but at this point in the NBA, he's a below average player, putting up Garbage stats, on a Garbage team. Playing zero defense, and not making anyone better. I've watched the majority of the T'Wolves games this year, and he's just nothing special as a player.
He's the #1 scoring option on his team every night, scoring 20pts a game on 17 shots, giving you next to nothing in less than 2 assists, and 4 rebounds per game.
Love is the 3rd or 4th option on the Cavs most nights, Scoring 16 a game on 12 shots, giving you 11 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.
You guys harp on Love's defense, and I admit he's not a great defender, but he's about League Average at that position, and when you factor in the Real +/- stat he's graded as the 4th best PF in basketball.
Wiggins on the other hand in 89/90 in defense, and when you factor in the RPM he's the 78th best SG in the league.
These aren't the Classy Eye Test, these are cold hard facts.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say.
