The Loser of the Wiggins-Love Trade? Canada Basketball

Did Kevin Love and LeBron James hurt our chances of seeing more of this?

The trade that's kept the NBA world buzzing for the past couple weeks seems to have finally been finalized.

Cleveland will trade Canadian youngsters SF Andrew Wiggins and PF Anthony Bennett (who were drafted 1st overall in the previous two drafts) along with a draft pick to Minnesota for All star PF Kevin Love, who will team up with All Star PG Kyrie Irving and some LeBron guy to seemingly create a new "Big Three"for the Cavaliers.

The move has been rumoured for weeks, since James shocked the world and went home to Ohio, and Love started making it pretty clear he wanted out of Minnesota sooner than later. Then in his written-word version of "The Announcement," James' failed to mention new teammates Wiggins and Bennett, and as of last week still hadn't reached out to them. This week the trade was confirmed by the god of NBA reporting, Adrian Wojnarowski, despite the fact League rules say it can't be completed for a few days.

The consensus on the trade is that it's good deal for both sides. Love gets what he wants (out of Minnesota, onto a contender), LeBron gets what he wants (Love), Cleveland gets what it wants (whatever LeBron wants) and Minnesota gets what they want (the highest-upside rookie since Anthony Davis.)
