Where is this money going to come from? Add another contract and you're at 78 mil. And that's assuming you don't keep any bench beyond a 6th man.
The original big 3 took 10 mil in payouts to afford help. The cavs are going to pay three guys max contracts. It's feasible. But it's going to be much harder than you give it credit for.

Wiggins is already a 5+/year player. Bennett is close to that. Trade them both, ask for cash in return plus one of the players I suggested, and you're good to go.
Like you said, you're giving up the two most recent #1 overall picks plus two more 1st rounders for one player who will command a huge salary. You can ask for some give back from the Wolves. That's how negotiations work.
