Parker is an awful fit with what you have and Exum makes 0 sense.

Even if Deng leaves and LeBron does not even consider coming back, finding a 3&D SF like you need is easy in the FA, that's why I will go with Embiid.

Probably the team Canada thing is appealing, but I believe Joel, especially in the East, is worth the risk and is a really good fit.

Wiggins also means byebye to Waiters, and you won't get great value for him, there is no way there is enough touches for Irving, Waiters, Wiggins and Bennett, you will have to hire D'Antoni and try to score 150ppg.

look fischella still hates on waiters and thinks he's Chad Ford.

My guess for the Cavs has to be Wiggins, the Cavs have had a superstar and they know what a superstar can bring in terms of ticket and merchandise sales, plus overall excitement for the team.

I'm not a Cavs fan by any stretch but taking Embiid at number 1 seems like to much of a risk, not that talent wise he doesn't deserve it but his back issues have to be scary for any GM. It's not like running up and down a hard court for 80 games has helped anyone's back....., and this isn't me hoping he drops to 3 for the Sixers either. If he blows up his workouts and looks like a beast and 100% healthy that's one thing but if not, he may slip past the 4th pick.

You guys know exactly what its like to pick the wrong guy at the top, the Sixers did it with Evan Turner and years ago with Shawn Bradley and its not like Cleveland is going to be lucky forever.

Wiggins to Cavs
Parker to Milwaukee
Exum to Philly. Embiid has to be 1b for each of those teams until they get full medical reports.

Can we all agree that we absolutely do not trade this pick for any player close to entering his thirties or an unsigned Love?

I don't trust Griffin. He is going to trade the pick...this is too good to be true.

I don't trust reality, I fear that I might wake up.

All of that hand wringing all season for nothing Fart!

All is good now and we can put the 2013-2014 disaster turned miracle behind us.

I like Wiggins if the Suns had the pick, because they took Len last year and he would fit in perfectly with our fast paced offense.

But for the Cavs, I'd take Embiid. If he is anything close to a ceiling of Hakeem, you can't pass on that. I wouldn't necessarily deem Bennett a total bust either yet. With a guy like Embiid in the middle, and Irving, that would open up things signficantly for everyone else.

Who do you want BMac? For now, I'm on the Wiggins wagon, but I could talk myself into any of the three prospects :lol:

I am having a hard time being talked out of a healthy Embiid. Just too much talent at a talentless position for me to pass on the guy, with the huge caveat of as long as he's healthy. My #2 is Parker and Wiggins is a close #3, although I think he has much farther to go.

What else are we supposed to do with him? The only value he has is if we are patient and he eventually becomes a contributor. Don't forget K Love averaged something like 5 and 4 as a rookie. Not saying Bennett will become what Love has, but he certainly has some ability, hopefully some experience and confidence will allow him to reach his potential.

k love avg'd 11/9 but yea & he still had 2x the minutes bennett had.

reminds me of baron davis, who averaged less than 6/4 as a rookie, but even he got 35% more minutes, 18 compared to Bennett's 12.
