Wiggins, the former Kansas star, was drafted this summer by Cleveland. But after LeBron James said he was returning to the Cavaliers, there was talk that Kevin Love would be traded from Minnesota to Cleveland.

Thing is, Wiggins was the key piece to the trade. However, he can’t be dealt until Aug. 23, because a player can’t be traded until after 30 days have passed since he signed his contract. That’s NBA rules.

Former Kansas star Andrew Wiggins was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he seems likely to be a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves one day soon. His Cavaliers jersey has been pulled from the NBA’s online shop.

On Sunday, Wiggins told ESPN: “I just want to play for a team that wants me. So whichever team wants me I’ll play for.”

The NBA shop must know Wiggins is going to be traded. While you can still find a Cavaliers T-shirt with Wiggins’ name on it, his jersey is not available at the NBA store. At first, the store said the jersey had been discontinued, as Pro Basketball Talk reported.

Now the page that contained Wiggins’ jersey is no longer available.

That’s got to be a sign, right?

Such a failure, that SEC network.

1. ESPN: 97 million households - $7 billion
2. NFL Network: 72 million households - $1.05 billion
3. ESPN2: 97 million households - $861.4 million
4. FS1: 88 million households - $718.8 million
5. SEC Network: 75 million households - $611 million
6. NBC Sports Network: 80 million households - $259.2 million
7. Pac 12 Network: 26 million households - $249.6 million
8. Big Ten Network: 52 million households - $237.1 million
9. ESPN News: 75 million households - $207 million
10. NBATV: 60 million households - $194.4 million
11. ESPNU: 75 million households - $189 million
12. CBS Sports Network: 53 million households - $159 million
13. ESPN Classic: 31 million households - $78.1 million

Look at that revenue drop off after the top five sports networks. It's extraordinary. The SEC Network is poised to bring in more revenue than the Big Ten Network and the Pac 12 Network combined, with $120 million more to spare on top of that.

Holy hell.

When you factor in advertising -- which typically runs around a quarter of revenue at other ESPN properties -- ESPN and the SEC have almost created an $800 million network. Indeed, add up all the revenue streams here and ESPN is going to be poised to do nearly nine billion dollars just in subscriber fees. Good lord.

And how about the NFL Network? Now that CBS is going to be airing its Thursday night NFL games, how in the world can that fee be justified? The NFL Network is by far the worst deal for sports fans on this list.

My point in putting all this out here -- the SEC Network is going to be even bigger and more successful than I thought. The SEC Network is now the most successful new sports cable launch and it's still a month away from the launch. And, amazingly, most fans and media still haven't realized the impact it's going to have. You thought the SEC had a competitive advantage before? You ain't seen nothing yet.

So Mizzou is 9-8 in SEC play and has obv "proved" they can play with the big boys. Except, that's not true in the slightest no matter what their fans or boosters in local media delude themselves into thinking.


9 wins: Their opponents finished SEC play 22-51 (30%).
8 losses: their opponents finished SEC play 52-13 (80%).


In 17 games they have beaten one team with a winning record, Georgia at 5-3. If you strip out the MU games from the above data, it's still 34% & 77% respectively or no difference. Football powerhouse.

They could conceivably finish atop the Big 12's turd division - TCU, WV, ISU, and KU

Listening to Keitzman talk about Mizzou football just cracks me up.
He can't hide his hatred of MU & the SEC. It's hilarious.

Agreed. Having talk about half shares, Big 12 vs SEC money & the easy SEC cracks me up everytime.

the comments on that page are great

And Jimmy Hoffa is just on vacation right? Ok….

How can you run out of the jersey of the overall #1 pick one month later…unless you stopped making them, which would mean they were discontinued.
