Fabulous. I was really worried for a sec there that Utah would nab him. Pairing him with Kyrie would be an even more effusive showing than trading for Deng, of how much the Cavs worship Duke basketball.

Wonder if they trade that number 1 for love and get lebron to come back. That is only a slim possibility if the heat lose this year and lebron loses faith in wades ability. Kyrie/jack Waiters/cj Lebron Love/tristan/Bennett Varejao/hawes
They got him in the first place and were elite with them at least 5 years ago so in that regard they were luckier than every team in the league. Since then..3 #1 picks in the last 4 years and 2 other top 5 picks. Pretty lucky last decade for them when you compare them to the Kings, Bobcats of the world who have never had a top pick and hardly any all-star level players at all.
Weren't we all...

Lebron going back to Cleveland could also work out well for the Rockets, just need to buy Bosh another Ipad...
Doesn't really matter. If the Cavs can find a way to pick the one bust in the draft this year, they'll find it. Lakers are crying right now. Good luck getting Kevin Love.
Actually a decent deal for Wolves. Lebron still has his ridiculous mansion in Cleveland, and now there's the Manziel factor. I wonder if Lebron would be willing to give up the high life of Miami to go back to <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KVtqZgfFKgQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This really couldn't have played out better. Lakers and Celtics both fell below their slot. I'm pleased.
I really hate the fact that such an inept team continues to "luck up" on the #1 pick 3 out of 4 years.
Embiid is too hit and miss. The Cavs have to take Wiggins. Irving/Wiggins will be a very deadly combo. Yikes.
