    2011 -- Could've traded down from 4th spot for more assets and gotten Thompson, Kawhi, while keeping their 2nd round pick and grabbed Butler or Parsons.
    2012 -- Drummond, Barnes, or draft Lilliard and use him as trade bait for team's who needed a PG playmaker or reel in talent at another position down the road.
    2013 -- Oladipo, Noel, Burke, McCollum, Antetokounmpo, Gobert, and Roberson -- probably should've traded down and collected more pieces in this draft.
    2014 -- Likely would've been trade for Love, if LeBron comes back to the Cavs -- Wiggins, Embiid, Smart, Randall, McDermott -- Capela, Jokic, Bogdanovic, Anderson, or Grant with a 2nd Round pick.

    That team does not know how to draft at all.

    With all of that being said, which other player should the Cavs have drafted, besides Embiid? He's still only 23, so he can still improve.

    Plenty of B-listers at the Houston one in City Center. Francis, Moochie, Rashard, and Mo Taylor are regulars (tinman favorite era of Rockets). But I've also seen Shaq, EGO, Artest, etc..

    Good to see Bron is trying to start a trend of hooping in your boxers.

    I'd like to see a line item over the 1.5 million dollars he spends on his body.

    Nope, ordering food at the cafe. I cant imagine him touching a basketball. He was lumbering around. Almost as if it pained him just to walk. But I've also seen him looking spry on TV lately. So who knows.

    I do think they land someone next summer (or maybe summer after that) but it'd be glorious if they didn't. ;)

    Also have a weird suspicious feeling Durant is gonna go to LA?

    Anthony Davis?

    Maybe it's because he expects and publicly calls out his teammates for not going 110% during the regular season grind while he doesn't, and then during the playoffs, shifts into a different gear to build up his great legacy while making the rest of them look like basic chumps?

    // LeBron recognizes he can't beat the Warriors.
    // LeBron goes to LA to be the "narrative champ."
    // If Lakers do great it is because of LeBron. If they do poorly it is his teammates. He wins the narrative game either way.
    // Warriors are champs, but LeBron gets all of the NBA Fame Press
    // LeBron coasts with the Lakers and does LA moguling.

    LeBron's goal isn't to win a championship. His goal is to win "the media cycle."

    It has already started.
