{Ed018's Note - as a Cavs fan I would do this}

I'd be comfortable with that return if I were the Cavs. Wiggins can help them now and (not certain how/ if extension would be impacted if at all) would be someone they could still build around if Lebron left. If I was Cavs I'd probably still try and move Love since Golden State is still the target and he's proven to not be that effective against them.

I could understand Twolves making the move especially since Wiggins hasn't really developed his game outside of being a scorer (he has been a bad defender, passer and rebounder for his size/ athleticism) . Their roster obviously would be more balanced if they didn't make this move and with Wiggins only 22 there is hope Thibs and Butler can grow him into a good defender.

Not a bad trade for the Cavs, excellent trade for the T-Wolves. Butler and Wiggins are extremely similar players so they'll be redundant at times on offense. Adding the shooting and finishing presence of Kyrie gives their offense a whole new dimension. The Wolves need 3PT shooting, this trade gives them two 40% 3PT shooters. Warriors/ Wolves WCF would be a possibility.

Aldrich for Noah equal value.

I'd go with Rose/ Wiggins/ LeBron/ Love/ Thompson but your lineup is nice too. Not a bad trade for the Cavs, excellent trade for the T-Wolves. Butler and Wiggins are very similar players and will be redundant at times on offense, bringing in a lethal shooter and finisher like Kyrie adds a whole new dimension to their offense. The Wolves sorely need three point shooting and this trade would add two 40% 3PT shooters. A Warriors/ T-Wolves WCF would be a possibility.
