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?
First of all, I don't see why Wiggins has to even be a part of the deal and only think he's on the table because LeBron muddled around.

Secondly, I don't see any rush to get this done today. So for one thing, I think it's crazy to trade Wiggins before he sees the floor. Secondly, if I'm talking about a true complement go the cavs, I'd gladly take Wiggins and a center over love and Brewer even if that meant signing and trading for a center. I think love is overrated, and I think it's silly to pay max contract to a guy who doesn't ply defense or the post, two things the cavs badly need. Not to mention giving up the draft picks that can land you those guys.
