    the RFA thing would mean that he could take the qualifying offer and be a UFA after year 5. As long as he doesn't sign an offer sheet, there is nothing to match.
    Or if he wanted to make money, he could still sign a one year offer sheet, said team matches, he becomes a UFA.

        Possibility of Wiggins pulling the ultimate bitch fit like Steve Francis and get his way to the Raps? lol

            Zero chance. He may want to play for the Raptors, but I don't think he has the heart to turn down any other team.

              The likelihood of him pulling a Lindros, Elway, etc. is minimal.

              However, let's not scoff at this and believe it will never happen.

              This could increase the potential of future trades.

              Rival GM's catch wind of this story and they get to thinking that maybe, they can try and take advantage. If you're a contender trying to win now, somehow you end up with the number one pick, you get the raptors and another team involved and maybe flip the pick to the raps and you get Gay and maybe another good player or two..

              It's still unlikely unless Wiggins stock drops and a couple other things as mentioned have to happen..But, it's still more likely than Wiggins gambling his career before it's even begun.

                got about halfway through page 3 and had to stop reading. Great to hear that he would love to get drafted by the raps... but just think of the odds and then all the things that could go wrong... I start thinking about it when we trade some talent from the roster.

                  How bad would you want him? If the team asked for JV and Ross plus an unprotected #1, would you do it?

                    Depends on what my scouts and staff can tell me about all three players and then what I thought about them. Then, I'd do a little math; some calculations and such.

                    Then I'd just throw all that shit out the window and go with my gut. Which my guy says...

                    Yes. Yes, I do the trade.

                      That nickname has been around for a few years and Wiggins doesn't like it. He even has a great comeback when people mention it. He says he's not from Maple, he's from Vaughn. lol. Probably only GTA'ers will get this.

                        Who likes their nickname? Unless it's self-proclaimed..

                              I'd give anyone or everyone on the Raptors away to get him, though JV would be awfully hard to part with.
                              If Masai gets him, we build a statue of him and Wiggins (if he lives up to the hype) in front of the ACC.

                                That nickname won't stick if he actually becomes good, you can't have your nickname reference someone else unless it's in mockery. Even Air Canada Carter became Vinsanity.
