Recently, every night when Wiggins' World took a knee -- no, not THAT kind of knee -- this was his prayer: Please, please, Lord; pretty please with sugar on top: Do NOT let free agent LeBron James sign with my hometown team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
Why would WW not want the world's most talented player to join his fave team?
They're not a good match, that's why.
The youngish Sixers will be fine without LeBron. They currently have a nice mix of talent with their best days ahead of them.
For all his greatness, LeBron would only muck things up.
This past campaign, the 76ers made it to the play-offs for the first time since the 2011-12 season.
Philly advanced to the Eastern Conference semis before losing three very close games to surprising Boston, resulting in the Sixers elimination.
It was Wiggins' World considered opinion that 76er management would have been wise to echo the sentiments of James Harden should James have expressed an interest in coming to Philly.
When the Houston star was asked if he'd want James added to his Rockets team, he replied bluntly: "We don't need him."
Neither do the Sixers.
The 'Process', the much publicised and agonisingly long rebuild that had been taking place over the last five years, has finally came to fruition.
The injuries to former No.1 overall draft picks Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons had finally healed and the pair got on the court at the same time to join the rest of the team that had been so painstakingly constructed while the losses piled up.
Moreover, almost as important as the nice blend of talents on the current Sixer ballclub is the terrific team chemistry they possess.
That natural cohesiveness the 76ers exhibit would be torpedoed with the addition of James.
Along with other worldly talent, James, of late, also brings tons of drama.
Something the beautifully-meshed 76ers don't need.
Yes, as coach Brett Brown suggested, his team might need another star, acquired through free agency or a trade, to make them true title contenders.
Disgruntled San Antonio star Kawhi Leonard would be a perfect addition. But they don't a superstar like James. Make no mistake, LBJ has to be 'The Man' on whichever team he plays. Too often, James, rightly or wrongly, attempts to put his team on his talented shoulders.
In Philly, they take turns being top banana.
Sometimes, it's the seven-foot Embiid who drains 3-pointers as often as he dunks. Often it's Simmons derring-do dashes to the basket for buckets or delish dishes to mates.
It could be Dario Saric, the multi-talented small forward. Or others on the deep, share the load-minded Sixer roster.
Put James in the mix and the rest of the 76ers become nothing more than a recent Cleveland Cavaliers redeux.
Teammates are too often left to watch as James does his marvellous thing. Can you say "left out feeling"?
And, eventually, it's good-bye team cohesiveness.
Better James goes to the Lakers, where they can build their team around LBJ.
The young Lakers, thirsting for relevance, will be thrilled to partner with a legend and won't mind becoming the basketball version of the Disneyland attraction just down the road in Anaheim.
Cinderella and the Seven Dwarfs.
For now, anyway, they'll be perfectly OK with subjugating their individual talents to King James.
It's no wonder that established teams were not fighting each other for James' services during his third free agent circus tour.
His addition is fraught with danger.
Veteran players recognise this. That's why none of them were clamouring for James to come join their teams.
Only a couple of stars also seeking new teams and NBA titles -- Paul George and Kawhi Leonard -- seemed even slightly eager to hook up with LeBron.
Many teams spoke volumes with their silence. They'll build on their own, thank you.
Unfortunately, James, in his never-ending search for career validation that he really doesn't need, has actually become persona non grata to many clubs.
At this point in his career, James would do well to just be content being one one of the guys, knowing that if it were not for the dynastic Golden State Warriors he could have had several more titles than his three.
Doubt that will happen, though.
Already, the denizens of LaLaLand are gleefully shouting "Long live the King!"
And Wiggins World is left to remind everyone that, yes, there IS a God.
