Bring in Love and similar to the Heat that is the core of your roster going forward unless you trade one of the 2 other all-stars.

Exactly. Keep in mind that next year they could have ten mill saved from keeping Wiggins plus a 10 mil exception for haywood. The cavs need a rim protector and a guy who can protect the middle on defense. They don't need yet another guy who's going to hang out around the perimeter and loaf on defense.
And in addition, probably a few first rounders packaged in. You lose those too.
