As of right now, LeBron James and Andrew Wiggins are set to be teammates next season. So you would think that LeBron and the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft would be in constant communication this summer. Or at the very least, you would think that LeBron would have checked in on the former Kansas star early last month when he agreed to sign with Cleveland. But you would think wrong.

Yesterday, Wiggins did a series of interviews during the NBA's annual rookie photo shoot in Westchester, N.Y. And during one of those interviews, Wiggins—who has been the subject of trade rumors for the last month and might be headed to the Timberwolves soon in exchange for Kevin Loveadmitted that he hasn't spoken with LeBron since joining the Cavs.

"No, I'm sure he's busy," Wiggins said. "I feel like I'm busy, so I am sure he's busy."

To be fair, LeBron has been busy. But how long does it take to send a text message—10 seconds? It seems like LeBron could carve out 10 seconds to send a "Hey, how's everything going?" text to Wiggins. So the fact that he hasn't done it gives us yet another reason to believe that LeBron and Wiggins aren't going to be running together on the same team this fall.
