    No to Gordon, he's been injured more than he's played.

    Remember, though, that the Cavs also own picks #24, #33 and #34. They are just as (if not more) likely to package those picks to move UP to the middle of the first round than they are to trade down from #4.

    I know this probably isn't the popular choice but if we do end up drafting players we could go young and let the team grow.

    Trade Lowry & #16 for #6 or #8

    Trade Dalembert & Scola & #14 for #5


    Draft #5 = Drummond
    Draft #6 or #8 = Waiters
    Draft #18 = Marshall

    PG - Dragic / Marshall
    SG - Lee / Waiters
    SF - Parsons / Morris
    PF - Patterson / DMo
    C - Drummond / Camby

    Give the guys plenty of time to grow and learn on the court with a few vets mixed in.

    Drummond should be given as much time on the court as possible, even if it means fouling out some games.

    Our summer league team would be one to contend with!!!

    Marshal
    Waiters
    Parsons / Morris
    DMo
    Drummond

    LOL

    It's what's known as building through the draft - without tanking :)

    Please be Andre Drummond. He wont be Kwame Brown bad. He is more talented with a longer frame than Brown ever was. He could be anywhere from Al horford good to Andrew Bynum or Greg Monroe good when he develops. It will just take time.

    But here is the deal. . .

    You don't know that. He could, in fact, make you wish he at least developed into Kwame Brown.

    Chad Ford:

    Does Dwight want to go there?

    He doesn't. His group made that clear. I appreciate what Daryl is trying to do. The game is about assets when trying to rebuild. Howard is an awesome asset. You bring him to Houston, give him the red carpet treatment. If they can move Martin, they'll have money for Williams. If they find out in February he's still unhappy, they have an asset to move or if he walks, they have tons of cap space.

    The Rockets are like the Honey Badgers of the NBA. Dwight doesnt want Houston, but they dont give a *****.
