I am  a Patriots fan would you rather have the Giants or Steelers last 9 years or the Patriots last 9 years.

Patriots 2005-2013 9 years
8 playoff appearances(the year they missed playoffs Brady tore his ACL and the team went 11-5 and missed the playoffs)
0 Super Bowl wins
2 Super Bowl losses
3 AFC title losses
2 AFC Divisional losses
1 Wild Card loss

Giants 2005-2013 9 years
5 playoff appearances
2 Super Bowl wins
0 Super Bowl losses
0 NFC title losses
1 NFC divisional loss
2 Wild Card losses

Steelers 2005-2013 9 years
5 playoff appearances
2 Super Bowl wins
1 Super Bowl loss
0 AFC title losses
0 AFC divisional losses
2 Wild Card losses

The point is the Patriots have gone with the long term method they don't go all-in to win every year(2007 exception and they didn't waste their cap to go all-in that year because Moss took a cheap deal)  and that is why they are always good. They don't get into the salary cap hell the Giants/Steelers have gotten themselves into, but those teams have 2 SB titles to look back on so their fanbases while not exactly happy are more forgiving for 2 consecutive mediocre seasons. If the Cavs want to be good for the next decade fine keep Wiggins, but you aren't winning a title in the near future as the East is still competitive, the West Champ would be better as well. Lebron isn't a spring chicken, but unless you really think Wiggins is the guy in 5 years you trade for Kevin Love and have a chance to win now and get that title. If Cleveland wins a title then the Wiggins trade would be justified. A title can never be taken away.
