Wiggins with 33 tonight. Dominated the last 3 minutes of the game.

Wiggins is awesome. Damn it would have been sweet to have him on the Cavs. (Not saying they shouldn't have done the trade, just would be sweet to see him learn from Lebron.)

After the Hawks came back from 30 down. Didn't think they were going to hold on to it.

I saw last night that Kobe wants to play in the next Olympics. Why? And will they even put him on the roster? I'd go with no.



Also, Wiggins is nasty. He's going to be a top 5-8 player sooner than later.

He could fill the Christian Laettner role on the Dream Team and carry everyone's bags, I guess.

Welcome to what every Cavs fan was saying last season. SMH at Cleveland. We better win a fucking title.

I'm still not sold on Wiggins being a superstar and I don't think he's anywhere close to arriving at "top 6-8" level. High usage, low efficiency right now.

Who said arriving? 2-3 years.

Wiggins will never be a top 8 player in the NBA. My opinion. Is he clearly going to be better than Paul George?

Is Paul George a top 8 player? It might be dumb, but I guarantee I'm not the only one who thinks he won't be a top 8 player.

Paul George is garbage.

Wiggins is a special talent with as high a ceiling as it gets.

The fact you're trying to compare them is boggling my mind.

If he were on the Cavs he'd probably be hurt all the time

Wait, so you're saying that Wiggins, right now, is clearly better than Paul George?

Paul George being garbage was a slight exaggeration but in terms of elite players in the NBA he shouldn't even be mentioned.

Until Love helps lead us to a championship, I still say it was a poor trade.

The Cavs really did go all-in for the next few years with these massive contracts regardless of actual player value and the deletion of high value assets. If Cleveland can't win a title with this group, I don't think Cleveland ever will. This is simply the best roster you could realistically put together in the NBA today.

I agree with you. He might make it to the top 10 eventually but it's definitely not a guarantee.

You just said saying Wiggins won't be top 8 is dumb and you called Paul George garbage???

I'm lost on what your arguing.

If I'm starting a franchise, Wiggins would be in consideration for my top 8 to start a fantasy franchise with.

I said comparing Wiggins and Paul fucking George is dumb. I said saying Wiggins will never be a top 8 player is dumb.

I'd still take Lebron James over him.
