Wiggins playing tonight doesn't concern me THAT much. It was wishful thinking to think the Cavs would come up with a great offer right off the bat. Both teams have to play the game unfortunately, just wish the game had started sooner.
Maybe Cleveland is just trying to play it cool, even if Wiggins suffered an injury I still think the Wolves would make the deal because the best long-term move for the Wolves. Dan Gilbert is at the game, not really sure what to take from that. I think that Cleveland is likely still on the fence or hoping the Wolves cave. Give it a few days

It's the Wolves we're talking about, it possible, likely even that you could get Wiggins and yet still end up disappointed!
If I'm Flip and Cleveland calls... I tell them I'm not interested in a 3 way deal that sends Love to Cleveland unless Wiggins name is in the deal. Same with Golden State and Klay Thompson.
And if Cleveland wants to call our bluff, I tell them they better enjoy watching the Bulls become the favorites in the favorites again, and ship Love to play with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
Meanwhile, in 4 years, Cleveland will have made an all-time fail if Wiggins isn't at least as good as Kevin Love...In other words, at least a top 10 NBA player.

Guys think outside the box a little here. This deal is on hold waiting for Melo to make a decision on Chicago. Once Melo decides to go to NY then Cleveland will have Wiggins on the table fast as grease lightning. If Melo decides to go to Chicago it'll be a long drawn out process with us and Cleveland.
I'm guessing Flip has this deal on hold right now (not Cleveland) waiting for Chicago. He's gambling that Melo goes to NY so Loves price goes up. Cleveland is playing a false threat of pulling Wiggins out of the deal but Flip sees right through that false threat. Wiggins playing tonight is to add to the illusion of the threat. If they were keeping him he'd be signed (dah)
I like the idea of trading Love for Wiggins and Bennett and a Miami 1st and then going and getting Gasol. We'd be a top 5 seed in west
