Some of the trades in the NBA are amazing. Frankly, that is one of the reasons the NBA is so intriguing. The off-court action can be as active and interesting as the on-court action. It certainly makes July and August more interesting. More than any other sport, no contract is immovable and any player can get […]

You know you are in for a treat when something huge in the NBA happens and the Taiwanese animators get their hands on it and sum it the only way they know how – with complete absurdity. And by complete absurdity, I mean Kevin Love and LeBron James spinning in circles and holding hands. The […]

Last week, it became a harbinger of things to come when the NBA Store pulled Andrew Wiggins Cavaliers jerseys off their store and they were no longer available for sale. Thursday Wiggins Cavaliers jerseys became a collector’s item — like my Steve Francis Vancouver Grizzlies card — when the Cavaliers traded the top overall pick […]

We waited for two years for this rookie class to take shape and make it to the NBA. Teams threw seasons away just for the chance to draft Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins. Fans of those teams spent a year debating which player would be better between these two wonder freshmen. When the dust settled, […]

Surely this is not anything to ponder at great length is it Cavs fans? Or maybe it is. Cleveland’s Andrew Wiggins has been linked in numerous trade rumors involving Kevin Love. So far those rumors have cooled but this might kick it up once again. Wiggins’ Cavs jersey has been discontinued at the NBA Store […]

Well this interview went about as one would expect when Andrew Wiggins was asked about the possibility of being traded by the Cavaliers. Wiggins was a guest on ESPN and the interviewer was quite on point on his questions surrounding Wiggins and the likelihood of him being traded. Check out the rookie on the hot […]

Jason Whitlock likes grabbing headlines. He says some really dumb, stupid things and we pay attention because they are dumb and stupid. His latest pointless diatribe was against Andrew Wiggins and his being from Canada. Whitlock’s latest baseless, and completely bigoted, claim is that Wiggins “struggled” at Kansas because players from Canada do not want […]

Jason Whitlock likes to click-bait and offend anyone with sweeping generalizations that fit his storylines. It is pretty stupid. So let us all laugh at Whitlock’s baseless criticisms of Canadians, Andrew Wiggins and their growing basketball culture from his appearance on Olbermann: http://youtu.be/cGj9GxtatWU [h/t Josh Gold-Smith of Awful Announcing]

Cavs fans really need to be tuning in to all of Andrew Wiggins Vegas Summer League games because he is putting on a show.
Wiggins is displaying insane amounts of athleticism, quickness and ability to get to the rim and send it home.
Case in point, Andrew’s recent Summer League game versus the Sixers.
Check out Wiggins’ eye-popping spin move and 2-handed dunk. Brace yourself Cavs fans, you got one really nice rookie on hand. Unless of course Cleveland decides to trade him for Kevin Love.

Yeah, Andrew Wiggins is pretty athletic.
“‘This is about as close of a top three as I’ve seen in a long, long time,’ said one veteran general manager. ‘It really does depend on who gets the top pick and whether they are willing to take a risk or not.’
‘I think one GM would go with Parker, another would go with Embiid and another with Wiggins,’ added another. ‘No one knows who will go first right now.’
“Parker is the low-risk selection, a 6-foot-8 forward who can score in just about every way on the court. Many compare him to Carmelo Anthony, and many feel he’s a sure thing at the next level because of his skill set, basketball IQ and demeanor.”
—Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com on 17 of 30 NBA executives saying they would take Jabari Parker with the top overall pick.
It truly is a toss up though as most general manager admit Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid have more upside while Jabari Parker is the most complete prospect.
