    so highly touted that the cavs would have taken embiid if not for injury
    wiggins was their second choice

LeBron will be 34/35 by the time Wiggins reaches his potential (if he reaches his potential, there is always an if no matter who we are talking about). On the surface, I can see why one would not want to trade Wiggins for Love, but for the current state of my team (The Cavs), I want the best chance to win a title... and the best chance for the Cavs to EVER win a title is to get Kevin Love on this team as soon as possible. Give me Love now, and the Cavs win 3-4 titles in the next 5 years... then we get to suck while Wiggins is tearing up the league for someone else, but give me the best chance at those titles now, I can suffer later. Better chance Cavs win a title with Love now, than with Wiggins now, I think that is agreed upon... and Im willing to live with whatever happens afterwards
    it really boggles my mind how people can be against this trade
    cleveland hasnt won a title in how many years?????
    lebron+love+irving elevates them to a true title contender for the next 5 years or so

    Wiggins is not Lebron, Durant or Melo...all 3 were better than Wiggins is now at the same age...he is all athleticism...he cannot play basketball yet....He is rookie year Blake Griffin with a slightly better jump shot
