It was reported on Thursday that the Cleveland Cavaliers could be keeping tabs on Golden State Warriors All-Star forward Andrew Wiggins. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season for the Dubs and is now set to make his first-ever appearance in the NBA Finals after the Warriors eliminated the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
