Keep Wiggins.

I was initially for getting Love, if I were a Cavs fan.

But Wiggins-Lebron has potential GOAT wing defense possibilities.

Kyrie takes the burden of ball handling/offense a bit off LeBron

Wiggins, who's more refined as a defensive player at this stage, takes the burden of guarding the best wing player off LeBron.

LeBron goes into God-Efficiency Mode.

Love, obviously, has his positives, too. But let Wiggins grow and you'll have two connecting links that could set the franchise up for the next 12-15 years (once LeBron retires and Wiggins assumes alpha dog position).

The counter-point is, obviously, that Love is already a 26-12 guy. Wiggins may never turn into the talent Love already is. But Love is a notorious stat-chaser. If he were on the Cavs I'd imagine he'd be a 18-10 guy. Which is still, obviously, very good. But he offers no rim protection, and is a net negative on defense. I say try to trade for a defensive minded big man on a reasonable contract and roll the dice with the current power structure of LeBron->Irving->Wiggins->Waiters. Maybe hope that Bennett gets his act together and turns into a living, breathing NBA player.

The thought of Wiggins realizing his potential with LeBron is too enticing.
