LeBron James has long been considered a player/GM of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, assisting GM David Griffin with his choices in players to bring in.
Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith were brought in mostly due to the concerns there was between LeBron James and Dion Waiters.
Timofey Mozgov was brought in to help the lack of interior defense.
Now, according to reports, it looks like back in the summer, LeBron might have actually been teammates with rookie sensation from the Minnesota Timberwolves, Andrew Wiggins, if Wiggins just did one thing.
Sign with LeBron James management team, LRMR.
Following from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
“Obviously you can imagine that because of (LRMR’s) relationship with Canadian basketball and getting players out of there, that they were on Wiggins as a potential represenation player very early. He did not choose to go with them…
There was a chance for Andrew Wiggins to ‘join up with LeBron’s team’ long before LeBron had a chance to join up with Andrew Wiggins.
I think the issue is, Wiggins said he never heard from LeBron.
Wiggins passed up the opportunity to join LeBron’s team and then maybe LeBron made sure…
‘So Wiggins does sign with LeBron’s team, you think Wiggins is on the Cavaliers right now?’
I Do
Listen here to Brian Windhorst on ‘Hard Rock Rocksino The Really Big Show’.
The LeBron and Wiggins talk begins at about the 22:00 mark.
Amazing developments.
I personally thought that not getting Love would be the better idea. Having Wiggins develop under LeBron James, who many people have compared him too in the past, would’ve been a great move for the Cavaliers in both the present and the future.
Now we can only dream about this big name pairing.
