When LeBron James returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, the franchise had an opportunity to pair him together with that year's number one overall pick: Andrew Wiggins. The two never shared the floor as teammates.
Wiggins was traded away in the package that netted the Cavaliers their shiny new big man, Kevin Love, from the Minnesota Timberwolves. That trade ultimately led to a championship in 2016, so there are few, if any, what-ifs regarding what a timeline with James and Wiggins could have looked like in Cleveland.
The Los Angeles Lakers may be preparing to find out what that duo would offer in 2025, according to Marc Stein.
