Why is ESPN shytting on Wiggins?

[Da_Eggman]

The media wants a big name already to play with bron

There not interested in this lets watch the cavs grow shyt

They want Bron on a contender now

 

[NelsonSwagdela]

Im high on wiggins and I think he's gonna be a superstar in the league but I agree with ESPN. Cleveland would be dumb not to trade Wiggins for love. I know y'all nikkas hate cacs on the coli but right now K Love is >>> Andrew Wiggins, probably for the next 3-5 years. Lebron isn't getting any younger. Plus wiggins is heading to Toronto after his rookie contract. Guarantee it

Lol there is absolutely no way you could guarantee wiggins is going to Toronto or have any clue what he will do years from now. nikkaz think they are talking heads making up bullshyt

While love would give them 20+ and 10 boards ppg.

And give up 20+ and 10 on the other end


He's statistically the worst rim defender in the league.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

And why are they pressuring Cleveland to trade him for Love.

1. Cleveland averaged 98 points per game last year. Add Lebron and it will be over 100.
2. Wiggins won't have any pressure to perform in year one. Which is a good thing.

I'm listening to First Take and is like Wiggins is athletic as hell is a lock down defender.. but has a suspect J and suspect handles. agreed. But didn't Lebron have a suspect J

Cleveland has enough scores at this point. Wiggins will help on the defensive end immediately. Lebron and carrot tops rebounds will equal what Love would bring. They did a poll asking GM's if they would trade Wiggins for Love and most of them said no. disagreed.

Then you got all of these analysts assuming Cleveland will trade Wiggins even though Cleveland said multiple times they're not. I mean he was the number one pick in the draft.

Sports news, news in general forces too many opinions on people. And half the time they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Nobody knows how Love would handle the expectations of having to win a title. And nobody knows how he will react to every team bringing the A game every night.

I mean Charlotte traded Kobe Bryant a unproven high school kid for a proven Vlade Divac. How did that work out for them. Milwaukee traded a proven 3 year starter in Robert Traylor for an unproven euro in Dirk Nowitzi (sp.). This aint fantasy basketball and it's crazy how the sports world expects teams to now pair up superstar players like its nothing. Maybe teams saw what Denver did to the Knicks. They gutted their roster to give up Melo and now the Bucks expect the same thing. You never see this happen in the NFL because teams know if a player is gonna leave anyway, why give up anything.

And If I was Golden State I wouldn't give up Thompson neither. Love aint Lebron or Jordan or Shaq or Kobe. He's an all-star not a superstar.

wiggins was toted as the next lebron... league changer... he was another guy we were watching high school games of.. and new his full name during high school... and was being told 2 years ago, that everyone should tank for this guy


then kansas happened.... then the scouts got after him... then the teams didn't seem like he'd be 1 or 2 if joel didn't get injured... now it's summer league time.. his numbers aren't equaling = franchise player

now look at his numbers and look at love's numbers... look at the fact you have a proven nba player vs. guessing... teams will always take established players and especially established all stars and olympians vs. unproven rookies with zero days on the job

these dudes still don't get it. We don't have a legit shot blocker now!
if we give up wiggins we'll be playing no defense at all on top of giving up young talent on the bench with serious upside

in his first year if wiggins can get something like 10-15 points a game on top of being a great defender I'll take that over gutting our team for Love

 

[MoneyTron]

When Wiggins locks up Wade on Christmas Day y'all gonna stop with this "trade for K-Love" foolishness.

ESPN and everybody else is obsessed over Lebron getting 5 or 6 rings. They look at his age and figure he might win 1 or 2 more with that current roster. The Cavs added Lebron without having to give up nothing. Why would they give up that much to get Love? It doesn't make sense to me.

Like who?

 

[Arris]

Like who?

Bennett is looking much improved but we'll have to see
dion helps out bench scoring a lot
tristan is a starter but I don't see him improving that much more to be honest

 

[DaddyTime]

It's a job.
They got to wake up everyday and say SOMETHING.

It's like when I see news headlines

"SCIENTISTS SAY DRUGS DO HARM"

Oh word?

Alright so a former #1 pick coming off a horrific season that looks improved through 3 summer league games

Waiters that already said he ain't comin off no bench after a season in which he "allegedly" put hands on the teams franchise player? Hopefully Wiggins takes some brazilian jujitsu classes cause Waiters don't seem too happy to see him

And a player that you pretty much said has already reached his ceiling averaging around 10-8

I'm totally digging the talent here

You forgetting who was coaching Bennett

Like that's gonna be hard to do

Now if he locks up a Paul George or Melo

I see why your skeptical but that's just how I feel

dion could end up traded though if he doesn't want to buy in

Improved coaching isn't gonna change the fact he's 6'6 power forward from Canada.
