I'd trade almost anyone on this team other than Kobe to get Joakim Noah.

That's the best case scenario but we're going to have to hope some teams really love Noah Vonleh to get Smart.

I actually think we're getting Lavine.

Some scouts compare him to Russell Westbrook, if he has the heart of Westbrook then I'd be OK with that. We need an explosive winger period.

That would be a massive overdraft if you took Lavine at 7.

Vonleh or Gordon, likely.

Worst case scenario, he's Gerald Green. Want to hear about McDermott's worst case scenario?

I'm just saying, if he's your target, trade down.

Give me Randle, if he slips out the top 5. Randle gonna be a load to handle at the next level.

Idk if you can, because there's plenty of teams that are look for role players below 7th. I think if Mitch takes him, he's going to have the chance to become Westbrook like DEEP3CL stated. Clean slate, will get lots of touches and Bryon Scott will do a good job on him. I would rather have Marcus Smart, who I think tested well in the combine, but Lavine will be just fine.

That draft lottery was such a disaster. Now those final 2 W's in the regular season irritate me even more. Thanks a lot, MDA. He couldn't win when it mattered but got the team to win when it was important to lose.

The **** Cavs screwed everything up...it's like a domino effect,one team moves up all the other teams get shafted

If they would've just stayed at 9th like they were supposed to another team could've been in their shoes and move up and that team could've been us...

I knew it the second they said Cavs will move up in the top 3 we're gonna get the 7th pick

I'll hate that franchise for life
