102833, Remember when the sixers had 3 #1 picks and sucked

#1 picks work sometimes, don't work other times

A #1 pick is always a risk, no matter how great you think someone may be.

Could Wiggins become an all time great and help Cleveland in 5 years? Yes, but he also could be a total bust

Will Love joining Cleveland get them to the NBA finals where anything can happen multiple times at least? That's pretty much the minimum for the Love trade is a few finals appearances.

If you were doing something based on the best risk/success ratio you're going with Love, even if the ultimate ceiling may be lower. It's fine if you don't want to play the safer route, but you're talking like Wiggins is a sure thing and Love is a bust.
