Glad to see you onboard rightside. Just a general observation. Before starting many more threads, scan the two most recent pages listing the "Everything Raptors" threads. That will give you a general idea of things that have already been discussed extensively in the past. You will notice that there is one thread called "Raptors 2014 Draft."
It was started Sept. 26th, 2013 by McHappy. That thread has 337 pages of posts. Usually about 20 posts per page on this forum. So more than 6720 posts on the 2014 draft. In the course of discussing the draft, as you might expect, Andrew Wiggins came up a lot. The chances of him getting drafted, and also the chances of him eventually coming to Toronto were discussed in some depth.
That explains the somewhat jaded response to your question. A quick summary might be, if I have this right, that Andrew can make more money (assuming he turns out to be a super-star) staying where he is...and the Cav's have first option of locking him for essentially the next 7 or 8 years, by offering him more money per year than anyone else can.
He can always demand a trade, but that would cost him millions of dollars. The past history of NBA players, early in their careers, turning down millions of dollars in potential salary is a very quick read.
