hated Wiggins being in the Love trade when it happened. Wiggins staying in Cleveland very likely would've extended that run taking the two way burden off LeBron as he got older
It's just a what if now.

Yea Wiggins as seen just needed the right environment to thrive. If he played with Bron from the jump he would have been playing nothing but winning basketball and would have become and elite 2way player. Damn shame because everybody knew he had all the gifts.

But even worse than that. The Cavs coulda just drafted Embiid and stashed him and by year 3 they would have had Bron Kyrie and Embiid:francis:

It doesn't work like this.

Wiggins has been in/around many different personnel for nearly a decade (including Butler) and he still struggled to play "winning basketball". The system/culture in GS brought that out in him, as it does for nearly every single player that goes to The Bay, but I wouldn't go just expecting that to have happened alongside Bron, especially since he'd have a completely role, wouldn't get the same easy scoring opportunities and wouldn't have been part of a team that plays as a collective.

GS is the right environment, but you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the league that brings out the best in players like it does.

Y’all are severely overrating this nikka Wiggins

He did his job and let’s just leave it at that
