Andrew Wiggins will play in summer league tonight for Cavs. They have no plans to include him in trade talks for Kevin Love, sources said.

They're clearly playing the game here. Hold out on their top asset so that when they finally include him it will seal the deal and let them keep as many young assets as possible.

So you're content to contend for that 8th spot every year. My aspirations are much higher than that.

Nope, didn't say that. I believe we can progress with a mix of youth and vets. Wiggins isn't the ONLY path to take.

I'm telling you if he plays, that is the end of the Wiggins to Minnesota possibility.

No but mediocre veterans surely isn't the right path.

As the basketball worlds collective head continues to spin following the news of LeBron James return to Cleveland, its difficult to avoid looking ahead.

If the Cavs keep the current roster in place, they'll have four players who were No. 1 overall picks (LeBron, Kyrie Irving, Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett) and two others who were top five picks (Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters). And that doesn't even include Anderson Varejao.

But all the talk is Kevin Love, and what Cleveland has to do to get him. Is including Wiggins and his attractive rookie contract a must as far as Minnesota is concerned? Here's the latest.

From Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports: "Whatever the Cavs offer Timberwolves for Kevin Love, I keep hearing the offer needs to include Andrew Wiggins to make it work."

Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reports that the expectation around the league is that Cleveland is willing to deal Wiggins if it means adding Love. "As the LeBron after-effects crank up, word among multiple team execs is No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins will be in play in Kevin Love trade," Berger tweeted.

We'll continue to stay on top of this and let you know when further details emerge.

I don't consider Gibson or Butler mediocre.
