Congrats bro. My wife and I welcomed our first child to the world last month (boy). Good bye to sleeping though.

With 2 pm deadline past, #Cavs have not traded No. 1 pick. However, they can still make the pick and trade the player

Didn't know there was a deadline. Hmmm.

Maybe with our 2nd round pick we can take a backup center like Bachynski :dontknow:

Even though Woj squashed it a bit, I'd still offer Cleveland the farm for #1. Harris, 4, 12, Moe for 1. Take Parker or Wiggins and then try like heck to get Lowry in free agency (I'd include Bledsoe in there but we would have to throw a ton of money for the Suns to not match).

Feeling Exum at 3 to Sixers. Aussie coaching friends told me Sixers did EXTENSIVE research on him. Brett Brown's input just icing on cake. - Fran Franchilla

I think Phila rolls the dice on Embiid. The do have experience in these types of situations.

Cleveland is reportedly asking Philadelphia for Nos. 3, 10 and 32 in exchange for No. 1

Depending on how we handle Nelson, we could make a serious run at some restricted free agents.

Suppose we do make a move for the #1 pick to grab Wiggins or Parker.

Then Orlando tosses all of their cap space at Bledsoe (who Henny is rumored to be high on) and Monroe.

Bledsoe
Dipo
Wiggins
Monroe
Vuc

... like? dislike?

I'm just trying to figure out what the big picture goal was with this AA trade. Clearly it was to clear cap space but you don't do that just for the sake of saving money when you are already under the cap. So who / what is the target with this money?

I can't express in words my irrational hate for that guy.

What would be really **** up is if Cleveland moves back to #3, picks Exum and holds him hostage for #4 and #12 from us.

I'm praying this goes down! PLEASE! HashtagExumAt4

I wonder if Cle would do Dipo + #12 for #1. Then we would have the #1 and #4 picks. That's probably the only scenario where I'd consider trading him.

Philly don't screw this up for the both of us :pray:

It would be a dick move by Cleveland, but I'd counter their offer with #4, Jameer and 2 million cash for #3 and Jack.

That tweet proves that Cleveland didn't want AA (if it's true)
