Every imaginable sign points to the Timberwolves trading Kevin Love to Cleveland later this month. But in the mean time, No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins, the focal point of the haul the Wolves will get in return, is caught in a no-man's land. The Cavs can't officially trade him until Aug. 23, but pretty much everyone knows it's going to happen.
If you imagined this is awkward, you were right. And you don't have to imagine anymore because Wiggins made it plain as day in an interview with ESPN on Sunday. Quotes:
"I just want to play for a team that wants me. So whichever team wants me I'll play for."
"At the end of the day you have to remember that the NBA is a business before anything. I'm a rookie. I really don't have too much say."
The video makes it even more stark. Hang in there, Andrew. Just a few more weeks and we can all put this behind us.
