It's Broussard not credible enough. Waiting for WOJ to confirm.

What about Kevin Love being a stat padding loser? :facepalm

"You've reach the Cavaliers front office. LeBron James is not in right now, but please leave your name and number and we will get back to you. Unless you are Kevin Love, then please press extension 32623"

Cavs :facepalm

double :facepalm :facepalm

trade the number 1 pick for the potential to be a superstar for a guy who's leaving his franchise anyways. GM's kill me.

:lol Well played sir.

[Sarcastic]

The way it should read: Lebron willing to trade Wiggins for Love

[BlazerRed]

Good one, didn't think of that :oldlol:

[Mr. Incredible]

LeBron James runs the entire league.

My goodness. Man is a genius.

[LoneyROY7]

Cavs. :lol

[pegasus]

Lebron does not want Wiggins to steal the spotlight. I can see Wiggins entering the dunk contest and Lebron doing everything he can to outshine him.

[Batz]

ESPN being ESPN. Quit quoting them. Pay attention to WOJ more. More importantly, ignore Broussard completely.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Hey guys, if this were true the deal would already be done. Keep believing everything on twitter though.

:facepalm

my respect for lebron will drop a ton if the cavs trade love for wiggins

[FatComputerNerd]

Would Love sign an extension?

What if we don't win right away, Lebron ops out after one year, and then Love walks?

Wiggins is our FUTURE. Lebron is already 30. This would be a terrible move on our part.

Would u rather have 4 or 5 years now of possible championships or wait 4 or 5 more and hope wiggins leads them along with a past prime Lebron.

I think we can have both without Love.

I also don't think Lebron should be making demands already. Maybe if he'd signed a longer-term contract I could see it, but not with his 1 year opt-out clause.

We have no guarantee he will even stay after the first year, and I assume the same would be true with Love. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Lebron waiting for new cba to sign long term contract.. See no way he would leave again or at least any time soon.

Point is to win championships. LBJ + Love gets you damn close.

Wiggins, even if he is tmac level (which is doubtful), won't get the reps to develop anyways w Irving and LBJ.

[dreamwarrior]

It'd be good for Wiggins imo. Minn is stacked with good SGs but they could move him to SF where they have nobody. The Cavs on the other hand keep signing shooters and Lebron's not moving from SF. Where's he going to fit in there?

[coin24]

Kevin love brings championships? Lol Kevin love doesn't even sniff the playoffs:lol

I hope they do trade wiggins and he gets a chance to shine, Parker was smart avoiding this bs..

[fourkicks44]

Lebron does not want Wiggins to steal the spotlight. I can see Wiggins entering the dunk contest and Lebron doing everything he can to outshine him except enter the dunk contest himself.

as others have said, I would not do this if I were the Cavs. Sure LeBron may want Love, but Wiggins is the better choice for the franchise and LeBron in the long run.

I know LeBron loves being surrounded by shooters, but he already has Mike Miller, James Jones, and probably Ray Allen. What can Love add to that besides rebounding? I'd assume TT would be included in the deal and his game fits better w/ how that team is currently constructed. And Wiggins would be able to give LeBron the rest that he wanted this past year w/ the Heat.

This seriously sounds like a case of "oh, a good player who can help us win titles", when it SHOULD be "oh, a good player who's role is redundant on our team and would cost us too many assets important to our future."

If Cavs have to lose Wiggins + TT, Love doesn't make the Cavs any better of a team, as good as he is as an individual talent.

the TWolves would be bad for Wiggins. Losing franchise w/ losing players and a losing coach. At least in Cleveland he can be tutored under Lebron and still get some PT w/ him.

I do have to admit, Cavs are going a bit overboard if they sign all 3 of those ex-Heat shooters.
