Cavs writer at The Athletic said having Allen will not stop Cavs from taking Mobley if he's there, because they believe Mobley can pair well with Allen at the 4/5 because of Mobley's defensive versatility and athleticism.


They're already going to ruin Mobley if that's the case. He's a modern day 5

Would you be surprised lol Rapsin4 said it himself Cavs are a dumpster fire. Their GM also keeps saying he wants to add size and athleticism to their core in the draft. Mobley is huge, athletic, and Cavs front office believes he can play the 4. If Mobley doesn't get picked 2nd he's a Cav.

I dont see it. I think they end up feeling the pressure and taking a wing which is their major need

GMs will protect their jobs. Making safe picks = job security. That's why some will go for guards at the top, their risk profile is a lot better. Therefore, its possible Mobley falls to #4.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Casey is the best guy to have part of the draft process. Now pass on Cade because he doesn't make his bed. I hear Davion Mitchell is very clean and organized.

Everything from the Houston side points to Green being the pick

Sorry how does Barnes/Kuminga go 3 and 6? Are we assuming Cavs will try to win the Timberwolve award for most insane criteria to make top lotto picks? If Cavs picked Barnes top 3 then the Bennett Bust Papers would need to be drawn up as you need those if waived before first extension opportunity. Kwame and Darko developed enough game to avoid just such an embarassment.

Interesting. Mobley back at 2. To be honest, I could see it happening. They played Wood with Olynyk last season. Wood and Mobley could work.

Still holding on to that Hayes stock I see lol

I agree with them Mobley has more projectable skills and is a better prospect than Green. Whether he reaches that ceiling is different question.

I don't see why the Cavs would pick either Barnes or Kuminga. BPA is Mobley at that point in the draft. Even with Jarrett Allen there at the 5 you still pick Mobley. Koby Altman is running the show and has for 3 years now picking Sexton, Garland and Okoro. Sexton is the only pick where you can say he whiffed on is Sexton and he ended up being a decent scoring guard. I don't see Altman reaching for a player when the best one is sitting in his lap.

I think this is more of who they would take for each, but definitely interesting to hear their thoughts about Mobley.

Curiously, let’s say this scenario plays out but Cleveland picks Barnes (that’s Cade, Mobley, Barnes for those who didn’t watch). With both Green and Suggs there, do you check in with Orlando and see if they would give 5 and 8 for the chance to get Green? I’m torn. I love Green, but the chance to add Suggs and then either a Bouknight, Moody, or a Sengun along with him would probably be too good to pass up for me.

I don’t think Lowry signs a one year deal, it’d be at least two. But I do agree about bringing him back if Mobley is the pick.

I agree with you, but Cavs gonna Cav.

If this is the case, I definitely call Orlando and see if they’d move up to 4 for 5 and 8 - maybe they’d want a Flynn along with that but I’d still do it. If we have Mobley and Suggs (who I rate very similarly) and we know we can get one of them, I’m all about getting 5 and 8 and trying to pair Mobley or Suggs with a Bouknight or a Sengun.

Cavs are known to not stick to the script per say when it comes to drafts .. hopefully this year is no different. Would be nice if they were considering Barnes or kuminga at 3

Valid but I just dont seethem taking Mobley with Allen there. If there weren't good enough wings, I'd lean mobley. I just have a funny feeling they take Kuminga or Barnes here. If this was OKC, it would be a lock to take Mobley but its the Cavs who traditional fk up every draft.
