Wiggins if it means keeping their bench intact as opposed to destroying it for James like the Heat did and they missed out on the Championship that first year. To get Kevin Love, it would mean to probably give up Wiggins, Bennett, Thompson, and probably Weiters the way Minnesota is going about (Love is easily their best player since KG). They already gave up Jack and Karasev to clear space for James. LeBron is also not going to be around forever and is going to hit 30 soon. Wiggins is 20 and could be every bit of the Superstar James is if he has James mentoring him and taking the pressure off of him from having to perform early. You don't draft someone #1 overall to be a Trade asset, especially for someone who isn't guaranteed to sign an extension. In Lebron James' 11 year career, he has never been the highest paid player on his team. Given that, I don't understand how you can say he destroyed the Heat's roster. If anything, he was compromising with the Heat in order for them to have a better roster. When you have a player like James (who will likely retire as a top 5/top 10 player of all-time) and he isn't the highest paid player in the league, let alone the highest paid player on his team, I think that says something about his character and what he's willing to give up in order to win. I also don't understand how you can say Wiggins could be every bit the star James is. Lebron is on a different level than Wiggins. Come on now.. It is possible!

He's got no chance.

Can't argue with the logic that he will suck do to being from Canada.. Unless he is a white point guard who can set people up then thats another story.. But Canadians either play hockey, Curling or do some other winter sport.. Basketball isn't a Canuck game

That was back when only white people played and there was no such thing as dunking.. They were all essentially Steve Nash then!
