@ mistake. C'mon Kobe! Kobe's agent let every team know before the draft that he'll only play for the Lakers. He was never going to play for the any other team. That's why he went 13th.
"That is an impossibility," Bryant's agent, Arn Tellem, said at the time. "There are no ifs. It would not happen. He is going to be a Laker, and that's the only team he's playing for."
Good thing this happened well before the social media or even dumb shows like ESPN First Take. Had he done this in 2010 - ppl would have lost their heads.

As far as the Wiggins trade - it was a bad trade for Cleveland because I think they could have gotten Love at the deadline for Waiters and Bennett.
