Fingers crossed for a top 4 pick today!

Those Kai Jones measurements, combined with his athletic “pop”, are really appealing.

I’m in the BPA camp. Ideal scenario is we land number two and naturally take Mobley but I’d take any of the best players regardless of position still. None of these players are franchise changing in year one or two, so throw position out the window.

Taller with a better standing reach than a 19-year-old Jarrett Allen. Shorter wingspan but doesn't matter as much with Kai's lateral mobility. Guess I was wrong about him looking small.

How does Cleveland always seem to do well in the lottery?

Revolting that the Raptors get a top 4 pick

Would’ve been awesome to move up again but we are still in position to add a good player. We’re picking about 8 spots higher than we should’ve been already thanks to injuries.

Damn, don't think its possible to trade up for Jalen Green. Straight off the bat, my pick for 11 is Bouknight

Should be a weighted lottery that factors in past top 4 wins and playoff games over the past 5 seasons. Prevents teams like us from being permanently in poverty.

At least we didn't move down but I wish we'd tanked last season. We added salary and a stretch because of Kupchak's short-sighted moves last offseason. Hopefully it was worth the late season play-in curb stomping.

Not super surprising.

Feels like we got all our lottery luck last year.

Wonder if the GSW pick is on the table. I want Barnes or Moody bad.

It is something how often Cleveland wins the lottery.

I’m sure it is if we took Wiggins

At least Detroit hasn't had the first pick in forever.

I want the best player available named Diop
