    Michael Jordan also won a national title in college, and won both the Naismith and Wooden college awards over Hakeem. He was a much more proven commodity, simply because he played 3 years at UNC and showed a much more rounded game than Wiggins did in his one year at Kansas.

    Comparing Wiggins to Jordan. Isn't it a little early for those comparisons?

    Wiggins put up way better numbers in college than LeBron ever did.

    I tend to think that a team of Lillard/Wiggins/Batum/Monroe/Lopez wins more games over the next 3 years than does a team of Lillard/Matthews/Batum/Aldridge/Lopez. The team is one of the best in the NBA at rebounding and open court speed. Low post play by Monroe creates open 3pt looks for DL/AW/NB. NBA has become a league about guards.

    True, the league is about guards, so I don't think Lillard, Wiggins and Batum with two bigs would be that special in a half court game. Not good enough handles for me. Plus Wiggins has not proven to be a great 3 pt shooter.....yet.

    Jordan hits jump shot to win title.

    Wiggins played in the tournament, I think.

    So we are all on board with this idea of trading Aldridge and CJ for the #1 , Thompson, Waiters and Anderson Varejao?

    All? No. But many are. However, I doubt Cleveland would offer such a package.

    If the Cavs really want to WOW Lebron James and get him back maybe they would offer such a deal.

    It certainly would be tempting for LeBron, I imagine, to have Kyrie and Aldridge in his new big three. It's certainly possible. Then again, LeBron might just be more intrigued by the idea of playing with/mentoring Wiggins...

    I sure as hell am NOT on board. Trading Aldridge is a terrible idea now, it was a terrible idea before this season, and it'll probably still be a terrible idea after next season.

    You can't really trade him after next season, unless it's a sign and trade.

    no. only way I trade Aldridge to the cavs is if Irving is involved in the deal. Do not want Waiters. or Varejao

    You really think LA can get back two number one draft picks? I will say this, If Olshey thinks Wiggins has LeBron James kind of talent, I don't think there is any question on what he should do.

    I like it! it's a crazy idea but I like it.
    We'd be so deep it's funny. Both Lopez and Varejao, Thompson, Freeland, T-Rob. We'd have Wesley, Waiters, Barton just at SG! Not to mention Wiggins...
