Context is important here.  Wiggins is getting lots of love here because he is getting folded into a pretty fantastic team where he can grow and learn from some incredible vets.  You're balancing the age of the team beautifully by having varejao/miller/allen (maybe) as the vets, lebron as the "in prime" superstar, irving as the "still learning young guy who's really good" and bennett/wiggins as the young guys with upside (wiggings with a giant upside).  lots of leadership and the personalities even blend.  That mix obviously doesn't have to be the final equation, but if you win with it, you're set up to continue to win with it as you tinker.  Dion is the one that really doesn't seem to fit and you can always trade bennett/wiggins down the line.  Both of their values are too low relative to their potential, though.  you don't NEED to sell them so don't and try to let them build their value up before moving them (or potentially seeing how they fit, which could be a better alternative).  there will always be free agents, expiring contracts and sign/trade options for a team with assets.  Don't  with a long term plan, when legit short term winning has a real chance RIGHT NOW.
