Wiggins: I Want To Play For Team That Wants Me

He's a kid, not a robot. The high of getting picked first and the low of getting traded away for another player is sure to affect anyone.

I think Cleveland will regret this move. The regret will start to intensify in like 1.5 years.  I hope I'm right about that because if I'm wrong it could mean like 3 straight Cleveland titles or such..

I wonder if anyone thinks this is more than just a desire to win a title in year one.  I mean, I can easily see Lebron not happy if his teammate makes sports center highlights for crazy athletic plays more often than him.  Might be weird for Lebron to be a player who wows the crowd less than his younger teammate.

He may prefer being surrounded by "skill" guys as he starts to age....as opposed to a younger, flashier version (though not as good) of himself.  Wouldn't surprise me.  Wade as a teammate is like a toadstool next to what Wiggins is going to do...

Also worth noting, that was one of the worst interviews of the Summer.

Yeah, I think there hasn't been an ambush like that since Katie Couric in 2008. I don't know if Wiggins is to blame, if his PR guy was at fault, or what but you don't take those questions as raw as Wiggins did.

But Id disagree it was the worst interview of the summer. We did get to see a fairly unique and human moment from Wiggins there, a rare site in today's sports world.
