Yeah, man. Living in Sacramento for 9 years was tough, when it came to watching basketball
But I didn't mind running into Vivek's daughter though

that trade would severely ruin Brons and Melo's friendship.
Melo wasnt on the banana boat steeze anyways tho, he was closer to Kobe, so it may be for the best.

is it true that wiggins was traded partially because he didn't sign to Klutch?

wiggins would be, what, 4th on the depth chart when it came to shots? i'm willing to bet bron, kyrie, and JR would get more shots while wiggins would've been relegated to the bench. being traded to a young, developing team was probably the best thing for wiggins.

It definitely was best for him in hindsight.
No way he's touching the usage he is in Minny and he would've been thrust into being on a championship team out the gate.

Wiggins would've provided the help Lebron is looking for, but he wouldn't have developed as he did had he stayed in Clev.

He hasn't really developed now though
he literally does one thing
maybe playing on a contender could've made him a more complete player earlier

I can't remember a time when a highly talented rookie was drafted by a contender, thrived and developed a sustainable NBA career. I'll wait for some names.

just curious. i consider myself an intelligent and scholarly person, but i'm failing to see why that question is an oxymoron

When people wanted the Cavs to hold onto Wiggins, they envisioned him being a good wing defender to ease the load on LeBron. So far he hasn't developed in that area at all, even under Thibs.

because if you're a contender you're almost always picking at the end of the draft

This is by far the greatest flop of all-time and I don't know if anybody can top it

Different situations: David Rob was out the year before and Kobe went into a Laker team that was FAR from competing.
It's not an oxymoron

you could argue that by getting lebron the same year they drafted wiggins, the cavs were automatically thrust to being contenders.

i didn't say it was an oxymoron man
y'all are seriously some of the most condescending cornballs I have ever come across
it doesn't make you look smarter at all

But he's also spent the last 2 years being a high usage player which he wouldn't have been on the Cavs.
It's not like he still doesn't have the tools to be a great defender, if he was on the Cavs for the past two years I think he would be.
He'd also be putting up 15 ppg.
