Noel should be main focus if cavs past on him. If he's not available i just settle for porter and call it a night.

Joe Kotoch: Noel's stop in Cleveland was just an interview. It appears to have gone well but concerns about injury & frame exist still. Twitter @Probballdraft

Joe Kotoch: Len has emerged as top choice for Cleveland with ability to contribute on both ends of the court & should be 100% by training camp. Twitter @Probballdraft

If Cleveland has Noel and Len rated similarly as longterm prospects, and they really believe they will make the playoffs next year, it would make sense that they'd go with the guy who would be ready Day 1.
oh please. This is Cleveland bull **** again. And they wonder why nobody likes them now...
They Trolling. Simple as that. I don't care. I want OP,VO or Bennett.

Bennett is who I want, but he has huge bust potential , but huge all star potential.

Hey another thing I noticed. Kind of creepy to think about as well.
Good old Curse O' les boulez

But if the Wizards Draft Anthony Bennett, his bust potential is similar to last season's Andray Blatche!!

If that happens, he would be the wizard's new AB literally if you notice.

I don't like that...O' les boulez...

But he could also blow up and go super big super star and we miss him by drafting somebody else. Yikes....

O man if Noel is available and the Wizards take Porter I will be one sad wizards fan.

Imagine Noel catching lobs from John on the break.

We will call him "Black Vesely".

Noel has to be the first option if not noel we should just draft Porter.

I was just going to post that the Cavs were trolling the league, pretending to be interested in Len. Knighthonor is spot on.

except Noel is longer and less afraid and probably worth a F*** on the court. Vesely is still a bucket o' chicken.

But why? There's no need to blow smoke when you are picking #1. Even if everyone knows who you want to pick, it's not like they can trade ahead of you and steal him. And unlike a couple years ago, the Cavs don't have a second high lottery pick to prepare for where a smokescreen could actually help them.

I'm not saying that Gilbert and Co aren't annoying in some ways. But saying they are intentionally leaking false information about their intentions for laughs at the rest of the league's expense (what trolling is IMO) is a bit far fetched.

ESPN'S "Experts Picks" takes Bennett for us (Fraschilla). Sorry, can't link it right now.

Eh, why not? Sure, the other prospects are going to end up on NBA rosters one way or the other, but I suppose it's in CLE's best interests to make their competitors' transactions as difficult to evaluate as possible.

Of course, one could also argue that the one thing CLE wants to prevent more than anything else is a lopsided trade between competitors. A lopsided trade can create an elite team. The best way to discourage lopsided trading it to provide perfect information to both sides. So, if CLE makes their intentions known, then no one team will be able to game another by doing a better job of predicting CLE's moves.

And, of course, I could be blathering about nothing, when I could be coming up with late entrants into the #PaulsBestDishes meme on Twitter instead.

Fran was in love with Vesely.

Nuff said.

Lost all credibility.

The idea the Cleveland Cavaliers as an organization trolls people just makes good logical sense.

dobrojim · Post #877 » by **dobrojim** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 8:49 pm

capt Obvious says most years it wouldn't matter how hard a team tried to
hide their intentions as to the #1 #1. Everyone would pretty much know.
This year, not so much.
