Cavs have 3 potential first round picks next year to play with as well, so they could always add another first.
I think they get it done without giving up Wiggins. With it clear that Love wants to join Lebron, and with only a year left on his contract, I am not sure if another team will be willing to give up a ton only to see him walk at seasons end (aka the Dwight Howard Fear).
Irving
Wiggins
Lebron
Thompson
Love
That would be a pretty ridiculous starting 5. Lebron would be the oldest at 29, and the rest are under 25.

I think the Warriors gave a better offer than that having Harrison Barnes and David Lee in the offer. Bennett, Waiters, and a late first is nothing for Love. Bennett and a late first are simply nothing in the NBA and Waiters is a serviceable player. Bare minimum they have to throw in Wiggins.
I might be the only one around, but I don't see this Cavs team as NBA title favorites yet. I think Wiggins and Thompson are just flat out bad fits with Lebron, until one of them can shoot. Last year they couldn't even cut it into the playoffs (in the east!) with a better bench and Deng. The Cavs will be good, but I'm unsure about title contenders.
