karma for what? what exactly did this organization do that was so awesome that the fates had them pegged to get this (if anything they were due for a dry spell after having the best player in the world on their team for 7 years) now look you made me sound like a hater and i'm probabally gonna get suspended for having an opinion anyway congrats cleveland not because you or anyone else soo deserve it just congrats overall enjoy it

Thank you gentlemen, I am truly ecstatic right now as well...that whole crappy season was worth it... now hopefully we spend next year as a developmental year working the new guys into the starting lineup, so we finish with another lottery type record, similar to Washington and Minny this year (only Minny didn't develop anyone lol) Irving and hopefully since Utah is loaded with bigs already, and have Okur that can shoot, we can grab Kanter at 4...that would be an epic **** win in my book

Id take Irving and Leonard who imo are the 2 best players in the draft. You guys are sooo lucky!!! You lose a player like LeBron and come away the following season with 2 top 4 picks! And you also have Hickson, who is going to develop into a beast. And can't forget about Verajoa. The Cavs are not that far away...

I just remember hearing somewhere about Chris Grant (our GM) saying something about a "point-big" philosophy in this draft, i know he wanted Irving at 1, and although Leonard is a great player, if Kanter is there I guarantee we take him at 4, his upside is just too high to pass on at 4, and like i said with all the bigs Utah has, and with Minny likely taking Derrick Williams at 2, i just hope to God Kanter falls to 4, Irving and Kanter...that would leave us with big holes at the wings, BUT we take the 2 BPAs and hopefully that hole allows us to have a lottery record and take someone like Gilchrist, Barnes, Jones III, Nash or Beal next year which are ALL very talented wing players...thats how you rebuild, a PG, a wing, and a big, the rest will hopefully fill out with 2nd round players, trades, and *gasp* maybe a free agent will sign in Cleveland once we get a sick young core.

Cavs need to draft Derrick Williams first overall and then take either Brandon Knight or Kemba 4th.

I actually like this philosophy.. I believe Knight will end up being the better pg in the long run out of him and Irving. Not right off the bat but from the sound of it that's not a bad thing considering Cleveland is looking for more lottery picks next year.

That Clips pick had only 2.8% of being tops

That is the second best result in current form of lottery, only topped by the Bulls 1.7% chance that resulted in Rose

Yea I really like Knight, just not sure if he falls to 4. If I'm Gilbert and I can guarantee Knight is there at 4 though you better believe I'm taking Williams 1st overall.
