I think we go with Embiid.

To high of a bust factor with embiid. I hope it's Wiggins or Jabari. Besides, this is an era in which wing players dominate.

Unless you are talking about A. Davis, Cousins, K. Love, LMA, ... You are talking about a legit franchise changing center. The Cavs haven't had a really good front court player since Daughtery retired.

I won't be happy with Parker. This is just between Wiggins and Embiid to me. And wing players may be the biggest stars of the day now but do not underestimate the power of a dominant two way big.

None of those guys are centers though.

i think PHI is scared Wiggins and Parker will go 1/2 leaving them with Embiid - the only one of the 3 franchise players that is redundant for them (Noel).

I would offer

#1 + Bennet
for
#3 + #10 + Young

Cle still gets a franchise player that fits a need in Embiid or Parker (after PHI selects Wiggins) plus an extra pick at #10, a solid power forward on a reasonable deal in Young, and the cap space that comes with not having to pay Bennet 5M per over the next 4 to struggle for playing time

Take Wiggins, Embiids back injuries already at this young age is scary. Could result in another Durant and Oden situation.

Durrant was a lot better in college than Wiggins.

NO!
Take Wiggins or Parker re-sign Hawes.

Return to Cleveland Cavaliers
