Word is that Wiggins is "in play" for Kevin Love and love is "intrigued" to play with LeBron and would sign longterm there. Not really good for us, but supposedly Wiggins doesn't think he is going to the timberwolves. You know DA is going to be involved one would think if that is the case. He tried moving up to get wiggins and has been trying to get players the timberwolves want for Kevin Love.
Seems to me like a wiggins for Love swap would make the most sense but DA still might try to get involved and is probably set up to be the best go between. Love going to Cleveland seems pretty cut and dry at this point but some of this stuff might start to get interesting.

It's a tricky situation, as teams generally don't like to trade 19-year-old potential stars. Generally, teams like Cleveland don't get them, though. With James back in the fold, the Cavaliers are looking at contending for championships, and acquiring Love would get them to that point much faster than waiting for Wiggins to develop.
One has to wonder what James' preference is. He obviously knows how great Love is, and has played with him on Team USA. He's also known Wiggins since he was a high schooler, and discussed being a mentor to Cleveland's young players in his announcement. Then again, he didn't mention Wiggins by name in that story.
