Andre Wiggins has been very quite when it comes to Kevin Love to Cleveland trade talks, but now he has spoke out concerning his status with the Cavaliers.
Chris Bosh 'Close' to Leaving Miami
Wiggins is seen as the the centerpiece in a potential trade that will send the Minnesota Timberwolves Kevin Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he hasn't let that fact change his point of view on the season.
Wiggins spoke to ESPN’s SportsCenter while taking part in a photo shoot for Panini trading cards and said he will play for any team that makes him feel wanted.
"I just want to play for a team that wants me. So whichever team wants me I'll play for," he said
Wiggins also said that he understands this is part of the NBA business and he won’t take anything personal when it comes to potential trade talks.
"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," he said.
Wiggins can’t be traded until at least August 23 after signing his four-year rookie deal with the Cavaliers. Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor recently said that a trade involving Love was likely to happen around August 23 or August 24, which is the first day Wiggins is available for trade.
Love to Cleveland 'Inevitable'
Wiggins would be part of a package that includes 2013 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round draft pick in exchange for Love. Along with the 2014 and 2013 No. 1 overall picks, the Timberwolves are also interested in bringing in 76ers power forward Thaddeus Young as Love’s replacement.
