Andrew Wiggins

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Re: #1: Andrew Wiggins (signed)

Or maybe they never intended on putting Wiggins in the deal like they have already said publicly.

Re: #1: Andrew Wiggins (signed)

We will be sorry we traded him. When Love buckles under the adversity or gets hurt in the ECF, and Wiggins is passing Paul George and Carmelo. When Love is exposed repeatedly in the playoffs as Boozer has time and again, we will wish we had our Wiggins back. When he becomes the best wing defenders in the league, and Lebron has lost a step, we will wonder if we could have won even one, while the amazing rebounder talks about his rehab, and how next year he won't be wearing a suit.

Seriously, Wiggins is the type of guy who rarely gets injured. He is too graceful. I just remember how we were dying to get Lebron his Pippen, and after all this shit, after all this garbage that has gone on, he is in the palm of our hands, and we will trade him away for scoring and rebounding. It has disaster written all over it.

I was really looking forward to Wiggins growing into the 3, Lebron sliding to the 4, and Kyrie and Dion manning the guard spots. AV would hold out until he has to come off the bench, and we would use our other resources to get a 5 somehow. Instead we will spend all our assets on the 4 position where it is more important to have a defender than a scorer. This will be the 2nd #1 overall we have paid for the 4, after already spending a #4 overall on it. 1 double double machine, another guy with what they say is big potential, but keep throwing our resources down the pf hole. It's not like there is an important defensive position that is one injury prone vet deep at the moment.

Whether people realize it or not, flexibility was what sunk the Heat. They didn't have any. We are dumping ours by the boatload right now. 3 max contracts, especially 2 that will likely be more than supermax because they are signed right when the revenue stream goes up will hurt even Dan Gilbert. It's worth it to have a chucker at the 4 who makes a lot of his chucks.

The dog dropped its bone in the water because it tried to steal the bone from the mouth of the dog staring back up at him from the pool.

After the bold, I didn't even continue reading on. Probably the worst post I have read on here in quite some time. Anybody can play that game to use to their advantage by saying the most extreme and ridiculous BS you can come up with. Just for fun, why not:

"While Wiggins is learning how to dribble a basketball past a 2nd graders level and shooting 35% from the field with his knuckleball jump shot and folding under the pressure of being a #1 pick on an instant title contender, Kevin Love will still be a top 5 scorer in the league (or in your ridiculous scenario, I should probably say the greatest scorer of all time) and a rebounder that puts Rodman and Wilt to shame! We will always wonder if we could have won a championship while Wiggins gets benched because he so bad that Joe Harris overtakes him on the depth chart!"

GTFOH with that hyperbole. SMFH.

"All right, Andrew, we've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you'll make five million dollars playing basketball this year. The bad news is that instead of playing with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, you're playing with Ricky Rubio in the frozen tundra where basketball goes to die. Good luck!"

This is gonna be a rough season for you, I fear.

Kevin Love is going to almost instantaneously make all of the stuff you've said about him seem silly. Basically from the moment he steps on the floor it'll hit you like a hammer, "Oh, shit, I had no idea what I was talking about when it came to Kevin Love."
 
Re: #1: Andrew Wiggins (signed)

Should I cancel my Wiggins jersey since it'll be sent out soon since he signed? Seems like a waste of money if he's gonna be gone in 30 days.

If Wiggins is traded for Love, it would be nice if the Cavs offered an exchange program for Love jerseys instead.

Yet another post that insists if we make a deal, only the best possible scenarios for Wiggins will be fulfilled and only the worst case scenarios for Love will be fulfilled. Hard to take seriously when that's the crux of the premise.

If you still can, I'd cancel it. Wait until Love is traded (to us or anywhere) before buying a Wiggins jersey to make sure he's still on the team. I suspect he won't be.
 
Re: #1: Andrew Wiggins (signed)

And the wait begins...

I'd still think it would be pretty cool to have. Especially if he turns out to be a hall of famer.
 
Re: #1: Andrew Wiggins (signed)

Signed, sealed and maybe delivered...

A grown man shouldn't be wearing a jersey as a fashion statement. so yes, return that jersey and get yourself some nice slim fit pants (provided you're relatively thin) and some quality shirts, a belt, some shoes. Really anything other than a jersey if you're 20 and up.
 
Re: #1: Andrew Wiggins (signed)

why do u so many of you think Wiggins is getting traded now since he signed his contract? He was gonna have to sign his contract sooner or later. The Cavs are not going after Love. Just look at the roster already if you add Love and Ray Allen and trade Wiggins the only person on the roster that can play defense would be Lebron. Not only that but the depth would be horrible and we wouldn't be able to sign decent players because of being over the cap. Team would only be able to sign vets and scrubs. So again where would the defense come from? The Love trade is not happening.

We are over the cap now. Without Love. And will continue to be whether we trade for him or not.
