I don't know if Minny necessarily wins this deal. I think they have a lesser chance of losing if anything. Having said that, I'm shocked they were able to get Wiggins out of this given their hands being tied with a player who was on the outs. Cleveland should not have had to deal him either, but again, LeBron spoke and they bent over backwards. If LeBron really wanted Love, it should not have leaked. Instead it's cost Cleveland more than they should have given the circumstances, and they've had to give up a potential franchise player. Bennett's virtually useless and the 1st is protected and will likely be in the bottom 10, so no loss there for Cleveland. If LeBron does walk the team won't be good bad enough to get those high picks again, so I couldn't be happier they gave up a substantial asset when they didn't have to. Gilbert and crew are idiots.
