Danny ainge said this about Lebron: “If I were a general manager, there are only four or five NBA players that I wouldn’t trade to get him right now.” Wiggins is supposedly the best prospect since the Lebron. In reality he is the best prospect since oden, but oden turned out to bust. So which top 10 players would you trade for him in upcoming draft?
I wouldn't trade a top 10 player for him unless it's an aging top 10 player. Wade? Yes. Who knows what Wiggins becomes and when. He's still a HS kid. There's a good chance that he's a top 10 player. Or maybe the NBA money get into his head. Len Bias was also supposed to be the next great thing.
A case could definitely be made for Harden, but I tried to look at it from a GM's perspective... the only 2 untradeable guys on that list are Bron and KD. Not saying he would pull the trigger, but I think Morey would at least 'consider' an offer of Wiggins for Harden (disregarding salary etc). This is also assuming you could do it right now, not after seeing how he performs in a season at KU.
I really don't see the same player in Wiggins that everyone else does. He needs to gain alot more polish to his game. Hopefully I am wrong and he turns out to be great, but his skills lag far behind his athleticism.
FearTheBeardJH picked ONLY LeBron and KD lol. He either read the question wrong, or is just a blind hater. And if I remember correctly from the finals/playoffs threads, its the latter.
Only Kobe, Duncan, Parker b/c of their age. Every other player is a proved super star in this league, Wiggins just has the potential to join this category of players.
I would trade Duncan, Parker, and Kobe mostly because of their age, and Anthony because he's toxic to the team. But realistically we don't know what kind of player Wiggins will become so I think it's silly to trade a top 10 player for a mega prospect.
I would probably trade Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry and Paul Pierce to get Wiggins... Maybe even Rondo later on.
Its not like Len Bias was a bust... he died from cocaine overdose. He could have been an NBA superstar otherwise.
