That's not saying you will ultimately wind up with him in free agency, but I think you'd have as good or better shot as any team in the league.
And don't you dare say they don't have the cap room, because that's ridiculous.
Having said all of that... King's Coach K article is pretty damn convincing. If you can get Love to take his option, then you aren't trading for one season, but a guarantee of two. More than likely that is all but locking up back-to-back Finals appearances.
You probably can't beat the Spurs this year with that team, but next year? The chance of that Spurs core breaking up is probably a lot higher than we realize. Duncan retires, Ginobili takes his payday going to a contender...
You could legitimately bring a title to Cleveland within two years. That's worth more than the promise of Wiggins being a perennial all star for 15 years. One title and Cleveland is no longer a punchline. Lebron is a god. Wiggins is a distant memory.
Yeah... that's worth it.
I am convinced.

I think Ginobili is more likely to retire than Duncan as he has not held up as well and won't be getting another big pay day.
