    If he's traded he gets 15% of the salary owed left in his contract given as a bonus.

    Only one rookie (Parker) is averaging double digits in scoring (10.5) and he's shooting 37% to get there. This is one of the worst draft classes in a long time. Not even Noel (not from this draft class but a rookie nonetheless) is averaging double figures. Boy, the Wolves got fleeced in the Love/Wiggins deal.

    Wiggins is certainly starting slower than expected.

    Dude, the season just started. Some believe that Wiggins is a few years away from being a decent starter. You're pulling this after a week?

    Wiggy looked good. He didn't look so lost for once.

    I see Paul George as his ceiling.

    Wait, what??? How can you possibly say that.

    Wolves last year with Love = .488
    Wolves this year with Wiggins = .500

    Cavs last year without Love = .402
    Cavs this year with Love AND LeBron = .250

    Clearly, it's the Cavs that got fleeced. Love is a loser. Minnesota is clearly better without him and his losing ways have infected Cleveland. He has turned the greatest player on the planet into a loser.

    Learn the game, then post!

    Maybe, maybe not, but I don't think Paul George has hit Paul George's ceiling yet.

    Yes, and using a little new math...

    Minnesota with Wiggins = .500
    Cleveland with Love and LeBron = .250
    therefore...
    Wiggins = 2x(Love + LeBron)

    You heard it here first folks, Wiggins is twice as good as Love and LeBron combined.

    I'll take it a step further...no way would MIN trade CLE Wiggins for either LeBron or Love, and would have a tough choice trading him for both. ;)

    Wiggins with 29 in a loss tonight. Highest scoring by any rookie this season? Way to go Wiggins!
