@gourimoko Gouri I'm just kind of confused why you wouldn't be in support of this trade considering you said in another thread that you don't even think Lebron will be in the NBA even five years from now and that you see it as a downward slope for him (regarding how good he is) from here on out, so if it takes Wiggins 3+ years to become a really great player like you said (All Star maybe?), then our chances of winning a championship would decrease drastically by the time Wiggins is good enough to be a 2nd/3rd option on a championship team due to the fact that from what you've said, Lebron will have exited his prime.
If Love stays, is relatively healthy, and can return to his former self, then this makes considerable sense, but jking is right on the money. Wiggins has superstar potential. If he develops that potential, and we don't win a title, then it would be a hard pill to swallow.
So then wouldn't it make sense to have a player who can help you win now like Kevin Love while Lebron is still at the top of the game instead of waiting for Wiggins to develop and risking Lebron's downfall (because as you said, longetivity will be more of a problem for him since he relies so much on his athleticism)?
It all depends on Kevin Love's continued impact on the Cavaliers moving forward. But to answer your question, yes, it is sound to want to maximize the present if you are assured that you aren't sabotaging the future.
