Andrew Wiggins Video Highlights

With Andrew Wiggins being a member of the Timberwolves, I figured it would be appropriate if you got to learn and know his game a little better. And what better way to do that, than through a video highlight package!

Below is a package showcasing Wiggins' time at Kansas. Get excited T-Wolves fans, this kid is going to be good.

Reports: Timberwolves and Cavaliers Have Handshake Deal

Well then, this report just about made my day. In the report, it is stated that Brian Windhorst of ESPN, went on ESPN radio yesterday and said that the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Minnesota Timberwolves have a handshake agreement regarding the much rumored trade involving Kevin Love and Andrew Wiggins.

The finer details of the trade have yet to move past speculation. With the only thing set in stone appearing to be Andrew Wiggins being the deal’s center piece.

That said, those speculated finer trade details include Philly possibly sending Thaddeus Young to the Timberwolves and the 76ers acquiring last year’s first overall pick Anthony Bennett as well as additional draft picks.

The trade would honestly be a win-win for everybody. The 76ers have the opportunity to take a flyer on a kid with upside and continue on with their rebuilding plan. The Cavs get the best Power Forward in the game. Meanwhile, the Wolves get Wiggins, a potential superstar, and Thad Young, a 26-year-old 7-year NBA veteran small ball four who is a solid starter with the ability to stretch the floor.

Yes, T-Wolves fans, it would be nice to get a pick thrown in as well. But honestly, and Cavs fans, take note -- sometimes it’s best to take what you’re given and not be greedy.

Waitergate: The Cavs (Possibly) Have Their Own Deep Throat By The Name Of ‘Cavs insight’

Ok, so before I begin, let me say the following: I only made this blog post for the Watergate play on words in the headline involving Dion Waiters. You guys have no idea how proud of myself I am for it (sad I know, but such is a life I live).

Anyway over at the CavFanatic forums, a poster going by the name of  ‘Cavs insight’ had the following to say in a thread about Kevin Love (click the screen shot to read it):

Obviously, this being the Internet and all, I don’t think this is true. Even if the trade happens and it is Love for Wiggins, I don’t think ‘Cavs insight’ pulled a Snowden by leaking information. Now you every right to take what ‘Cavs insight’ said to heart, but I suggest taking it with a big grain of salt, and then finishing off that grain of salt with a big gulp of salt water.

That said, if we come to learn that someone in the Cavs front office gets fired and that person also previously worked for the Pelicans… well then maybe ‘Cavs insight’ is as insightful as he says he is.

A Letter To the Cleveland Cavaliers

Dear Cleveland Cavaliers,

Hi, congrats on landing the greatest basketball player in the world today, that doesn’t happen very often for most teams.

Anyway, so hey, now with Kyrie and LeBron, you guys are one super star away from having your very own Big Three. So I was thinking, the Timberwolves have their very own disgruntled super star by the name of Kevin Love. Meanwhile, you guys have this ultra talented kid by the name of Andrew Wiggins. The first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, if my facts are correct.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

It would benefit everybody to swap Kevin Love for Andrew Wiggins. I don’t know how it would line up contractually, but throw in a vet guy with a big contract and the only person you would have to give up is Wiggins. Keep Waiters and Thompson. AND FOR PETE SAKES KEEP ANTHONY BENNET OFF A BASKETBALL COURT (jk lol you guys, if you want to throw him in you can. I’d be more than happy enough to take a flyer on him).

Now picks would be a sweet cherry on top, but hey, I’m a nice down on his luck T-Wolves fan looking for any glimmer of hope I can get. And Andrew Wiggins would provide this franchise with its biggest glimmer of hope yet (or at least since Ricky Rubio came over).

In conclusion, I think it's a deal you should really think about. Remember it would be benefit everybody.  

Sincerely,

P.S.

Flip, if you somehow wind up reading this (which is highly unlikely I know), and you trade K-Love to the Cavs without getting Wiggins back. I swear… I won’t even. This will be my reaction:
