But that's just really too bad. What if Milwaukee had the 1st pick and he went there? There's not much he can ****ing do. There's not much Anthony Davis can do when he got drafted by New Orleans. Or hell, there's not much Kevin Love has been able to do when he became a Timberwolf.
You can become a star and grow out your product that way. That's what you can do. You can be a stellar basketball player and get on TV by making people want to see you.
If the environment isn't right for creating your brand, then MAKE it right. And I highly doubt if the Cavs get the right deal agreed upon and Wiggins' ass is on the way out, they're not going to re-think the deal just because he tells them he won't be able to sell as many jerseys if he goes to the Wolves.

Just talking out loud. Is it possible that there's truth to the idea that Wiggins wants to play in a big market, and that Philly is in play so Minnesota can get Embiid and Philly gets Wiggins?
I'm not crazy about that scenario as a Cavs fan. But what if the trade worked like this:
Cleveland receives:
Love
Dieng
Minnesota receives:
Embiid
Bennett
Young
Lucas
Malcolm Thomas
Erik Murphy
Cleveland pick
Philadelphia receives:
Wiggins
Martin
Barrea
