If you think the cavs objective is to win an NBA championship in the next two years, but all means trade Wiggins for love. I'm realistic to realize even with love, they are massive underdogs against the west. And they still have massive gaps on defense and in the post. And while SNR thinks they can find these guys for no money, the reality is paying a big three makes it difficult to gap fill.
Of course love right now is more talented than Wiggins. But he is a guy you bring in and force him to fit into your system.

Again, Love isn't Chris Bosh. He's not going to see dry spells in scoring. He has so many different tools at his disposal that will prevent him from seeing the inconsistency that Bosh had in Miami at times.
Can you respond specifically to my Corey Brewer idea? His annual salary is basically equal to Wiggins' for two more years. He's quite a good defender, and he has one or two things he does well on offense, which make him a valuable "energy scorer" if he's coming off the bench. As a starter, that offensive efficiency declines dramatically, but you wouldn't be bringing him aboard to start. You're bringing him aboard so Lebron doesn't have to play 40 minutes per game, and when Lebron is on the bench the team doesn't go into a hole on defense.
I'm not the GM of the Cavaliers, and again, Corey Brewer very likely is not going to be traded, but that's a theoretical possibility. If I can come up with a solution, surely the Cavs can as well?
