The more realistic option

This is the most reasonable deal.

The Cavaliers are a team, as aforementioned, on the rise. They aren’t great yet, but in the next few years, they hope to be. With Andrew Wiggins and another first-round pick in 2022, the Cavaliers may finally be able to see the light again.

Wiggins was meant to be a Cavalier once, and after several seasons which saw him disappoint as a former No. 1 overall pick, he could be in “The Land” once again. Wiggins has proven to be a scoring option.

He’s an elite option at that despite not having the best shot selection. He’s improving his three-point shooting, and he should be a competent defender. Wiggins isn’t the star of the team; Minnesota proved that.

With Garland and Sexton, Wiggins can be an elite third option. The Cavaliers have another lottery pick coming, and with their top pick in the 2021 draft, they should have their core that, one that could include Wiggins.

As for the Warriors, a frontcourt with Love and Green would provide shooting and defense. This is the best option as the trade capital they’re giving up isn’t that valuable.
