Is the omission of Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett in LeBron James' letter an indication that the two most recent No. 1-overall draft picks will be involved in a trade soon?
There are a lot of speculations that the two players would be traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for superstar Kevin Love since James never mentioned Wiggins and Bennett in his letter explaining his decision to return to Cleveland.
The Score notes that James mentioned the young players of the Cavs like All-Star Kyrie Irving, forward Tristan Thompson, and shooting guard Dion Waiters, as well as his former teammate Anderson Varejao. But he didn't make any reference to the last two No. 1 overall picks.
In his letter, James said he wants to be a mentor to the young core of Cavs, but didn't promise a championship.
It has been widely speculated that the Wolves are ready to trade away their superstar for the right package of assets. Wiggins and Bennett, along with a future draft pick, could be the perfect combination for the rebuilding Wolves. Wiggins is foreseen as a franchise cornerstone while Bennett, despite a poor rookie season, can still salvage his career given the opportunity.
The Sports Xchange via Yahoo! Sports is also speculating that James would have mentioned Wiggins in his letter if there was no plan to trade the rookie. After all, James and Wiggins have known each other for years.
In case the Cavs become successful in trading for Love, the team could form their own Big Three in James, Love, and Irving.
