I'm pretty sure it's less costly and a lot more realistic to "tank" and trade in-season, thus keeping Jonas and improving chances at Wiggins. It makes no sense to avoid tanking and then gut the entire team for that pick, which is not going to be traded anyway.

No announcement yet.
Would you trade JV + more to the team with the 1st overall pick?

I have a feeling that Wiggins will exceeds his expectations in college, so if he does, why would any GM trade potential Lebron 2.0 ( excluding okc and mia gms ) for big dude who will never be like Tim Duncan ? JV can be good and I believe he will, but let's be realistic for the moment, he'll never be like Tim Duncan. Tim was created for the basketball, he was special one, my 2 cents don't judge.
I do believe Wiggins will be good from the start in NBA, so we'll have only couple ways in getting him:
1) Tank hard, mess with fans feelings and hope for the luck.
2) Wait 2018 and sign him as a free agent.Last edited by rocwell; Fri Oct 11, 2013, 12:17 AM.

Anyway, we could sign Wiggins only in 2018 or 2019. No earlier than that Ehhh fuck, I'm getting old.

This scenario makes several assumptions that you simply cannot say no to.
(a) That the 1st overall pick is available for trade.
(b) That the team owning that pick would take your 1st round pick + JV + DeMar/Gay
(c) That the draft order has been determined and everyone knows who the #1 prospect is.
I don't think JV will ever reach Hibbert's level as an imposing defensive gargantuan. He'll probably down the road average more points, but that's about it. And despite his prowess down there, Hibbert is not a franchise player.
Indiana has Hibbert, Paul George, Danny Granger, David West, Stevenson, Hill and now Scola. The Raptors are more like if Indiana had just Hibbert, Stevenson, and Hill and you were asking them if they would trade any combination of those guys for Paul George. I'd say the safe and obvious answer to that is a resounding yes.your pal,
