    Hope Cleveland selects Embiid.
    I would feel bad if either Parker or Wiggins had to play in Cleveland.
    Hell I hope Cleveland picks another "Bennett" lol.

    Can't believe they are getting rewarded with a #1 pick again.

    Waiters
    Wiggins
    Bust

    Good point, I actually think they could do that but I don't see why the Cavs would wanna do this unless they're really high on Embiid. Word is that Jabari Parker has been their #1 on their draft board all season, but I think Wiggins is better.

    I like Cleveland there's nothing wrong with Cle and there's a lot of new development going on, some of the best restaurants I've been to have been in Cleveland and that's traveling all over the place.

    Bennett showed flashes of being good, he was out of shape, had asthma and confidence issues so I wouldn't chalk him up as a bust yet. is #1 good? show me any players producing besides MCW and maybe Oladipo, it was a weak draft so he probably will never compare to other #1 picks in other drafts but he has a chance to be a good scorer from the 3 and solid rebounder.

    this year should be better I think.

    Hmmm "even better" as if Ibaka is a better player than Howard.

    Bayless always bashed Dwight's game. Nothing new.

    I know, that's why I said he was trolling... he trolls LeBron and Dwight all the time, and to a lesser extent, Westbrook.

    I really hope whomever they get busts.

    Also hope LeBron does not go back.

    Cleveland is not supposed to win anything ever

    If I were the Cavs I'd go with the Wiggins and Kyrie tandem.

    Contrary to popular opinion, they have drafted well.

    Kyrie is a stud.
    Tristan has shown flashes.
    Waiters can flat-out score, he will be special. Not many shooting guards like him. Plus he was the best pick there (Lillard the better player but they have Kyrie).
    Bennett has the most upside of anyone in the 2013 draft but everyone in that draft sucked.

    New GM so who knows really.

    People are angry that the Cavs won the lottery again, but I'm just happy that the Lakers came nowhere near the top 3 pick - they got the 7th pick. No Embiid, Parker, Wiggins, or Exum for them. ;)

    Durant shut his b**** ass up. He thought he was cool with Durant and blamed everything on Westbrook, then Durant mocked the **** out of him and Skip got his feelings hurt.

    I like Skip, but I can see why a lot of people hate him, he can be a huge tool sometimes.

    One positive side aspect: Cavs don't have 2 picks in the Top 5 like they used to

    They keep sacking coach after coach, implement system after system, underachieving in the Leastern conference.

    If I was the CAVS I'd trade that pick to Philly for their 3rd & 10th picks (depending on how much they want Wiggins), then flip that 3rd pick to Utah for some depth (a resigned Hayward maybe), Enis Kanter & their 5th pick.

    Utah more than likely gets their man in Parker, Philly gets their Prize in Wiggins & CAVS get two lottery picks & a player...this gives them less chance to screw it up. Julius Randle should still be there at 5, but knowing the CAVS they'd probably take Dario Saric & Jusuf Nurkic with their picks.

    People need to realize that he is literally a professional troll. I doubt he actually dislikes LeBron or Dwight or Westbrook, but he does know that trolling and getting publicity/viewers = $$$.
