The Cavaliers have been reported as the only team with a chance to land star Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love. For any deal to get done between the two clubs, it appears that Cleveland must include Wiggins.
Maybe the NBA feels Wiggins will never touch the court as a member of the Cavaliers because it has discontinued the No. 1 overall pick’s jersey on the league’s website. It could just be a coincidence, but fans can still purchase other rookies’ jerseys on the site, such as Joel Embiid or Julius Randle.
Wiggins must be with Cleveland for at least another three weeks because a team is not allowed to trade a draft pick within 30 days of the player signing a contract. Even if the 19-year-old is not dealt for Love, it appears that fans will still have to wait to get their hands on Wiggins’ Cavaliers jersey.
