Four years ago, the Timberwolves traded Kevin Love to the Cavaliers and received rookie No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins as the main piece in return. Both players have had ups and downs since then, but both are signed with their teams for the next five years for roughly the same amount of money.
The question today is this: If you were the Timberwolves, would you rather have Wiggins or Love at that price (close to $30 million a year) for the next five seasons?
This might seem like a strange position from me given that I’ve been critical of Wiggins and encouraged a trade in the past, but I think in the Wolves’ specific situation I would rather have Wiggins than Love long-term.
